To consider application UTT/21/0320/FUL.

The Senior Planning Officer presented an application for the erection of a grain and machinery store required in connection with the continuing agricultural use of arable land adjacent to Hatfield Park Farm. The report considered the new building in a revised siting position.

The application was recommended for approval with conditions.

In response to a question from Councillor Reeve the Senior Planning Officer said that the application required planning permission because it was within 3km of an aerodrome and was above 3 metres in height.  The Airport had raised no objections.  The Development Manager said it was before the Committee because it was called in by Councillor Driscoll.

In response to Members the Development Manager said he did not think it was necessary to condition the building for agricultural use only.  The Senior Planning Officer said that this was covered in condition 5 which stated that it could not be converted to any other use without prior written permission from the Local Planning Authority. 

Councillor Lemon proposed that the application be approved. This was seconded by Councillor LeCount.

RESOLVED to approve the application with conditions.

G French (agent) spoke in support of the application.
