Issue - meetings

Demolition of the existing agricultural barns and the construction of 2 no.
three-bedroom dwellings.

Defer for Section 106 then permit.

Mrs Stevens introduced the application.

Additional information was reported on the agenda update sheet relating to an incomplete ward name on the report.

During the discussion members sought clarification on a number of points. With regard to drainage Mrs Stevens confirmed that the application site is not connected to mains drainage but condition 4 requires prior approval of foul drainage plans. With regard to flood risk the site lies in flood zone 1 (following Medmerry works) and officers therefore have no concerns relating to the height of the flooring level. In addition the Environment Agency and the council’s Drainage Engineer raised no concerns relating to flooding. With regard to similar applications being brought forward on adjacent sites the Committee were reminded that each application should be decided on its own merits. Mrs Stevens then confirmed that points c and d in condition 16 should read a and b and would be amended accordingly. With regard to the Construction Management Plan section K it was agreed to add additional wording to ensure the control of litter on the site. With regard to permanent occupation of the site officers felt it unreasonable to add a condition preventing holiday occupation as it would comply with the C3 Dwelling House use permittted.

Recommendation to defer for Section 106 then permit.
