NAC 198

Planning Application No. 02/P/2753/F – Alterations and extensions to existing dwelling to include partial demolition and roof alterations and construction of terraced area at Lime Breach, Cadbury Camp Lane, Tickenham (Agenda 6.2)

The Director of Development and Environment reported on an application for planning permission. The Committee was advised of any comments received after the dispatch of the agenda and reports.

Members of the Area Committee agreed that permission should be granted, for the following reasons:

i) the scale and size of the proposed extensions would not be a disproportional addition and would not harm the openness or purpose of the Green Belt, therefore GRB/4 would not apply;

ii) that the proposal was in accord with Para 41 of PPG3 having regard to the building in its locality;

iii) and that the proposals were wholly in accord with RL/6, in that the building works would greatly enhance the visual amenities and correct the present damaging impact of past ill-conceived extensions.

Under the provisions of Part 3.1(b) of the Constitution, this matter was reserved to the Planning and Regulatory Committee for determination, as the decision taken by the Area Committee was not in accordance with the officers’ recommendation and could have serious policy implications for the Local Planning Authority.

RECCOMMENDED TO THE PLANNING AND REGULATORY COMMITTEE: that Planning Application No. 02/P/2753/F be APPROVED subject to suitable conditions.

Draft Planning Enforcement Protocol (Agenda Item 6.13)

The Director of Development and Environment submitted a report which gave details of a proposed enforcement protocol for guiding priorities in respect of enforcement action.

Councillor Clark commended the use of plain English in the report. Referring to the order of priorities, he felt that unauthorised development or activity likely to cause harm or danger had greater significance than the protection of trees.

The Development Control Manager, Richard Kent, referred to the permanent nature of tree felling. Preservation Orders were issued to guard against unauthorised works.

Councillor Shopland believed that as felled trees were clearly not capable of re-instatement, the use of enforcement action was inappropriate for their protection as its purpose was to restore the position that had existed before the breach of planning control.

Councillor Walters referred to the flowchart illustrating complaint handling, and to the instruction of Solicitors should enforcement action be authorised. Richard Kent assured Members that legal advice was sought, as required, throughout the process

Members also discussed non-compliance with Section 106 Agreements, and the procedure for dealing with enforcement complaints.
