Erection of Marquee between 1st April and the 30th September each year inclusive.

Decision:

Defer

Minutes:

Mr Mew presented the item to Members and drew attention to the information provided in the Update Sheet. 

 

The Committee received the following speakers:

 

·         Mike Sully – Parish Council (written statement read out)

·         Lucan Daniell – Applicant (written statement read out)

·         Timothy Johnston – CDC Member

 

Mr Mew then responded to Member’s comments and questions. He confirmed that there was a current permission for a marquee in the existing location, and that details had not been submitted regarding a landscaping scheme.  In reference to hardstanding this may not be required, as there was currently a path, but details had not been submitted on this matter and the application also did not provide information concerning parking arrangements.  There was an existing temporary events licence, and currently there were no restrictions on the previous planning conditions regarding the number of events, and it would be unreasonable to introduce such restrictions, were the proposed application granted.  The application was for events taking place between 1st April and 30th September.  In relation to ensuring only one marquee was in place, a condition could be added to state this requirement, were the proposed application granted.  Mr Mew added that hedging could be added within the blue line shown on the plan.

 

Mr Whitty summarised the officers’ recommendation to refuse the application, which followed a similar refusal, explaining this was not a straight-forward recommendation. Officers must make a recommendation, and on balance the proposed location was considered more harmful, and there was an existing permitted location.  Mr Whitty listed the options available to the Committee which included the option to refuse as officers had recommended, permit or permit with conditions, or if there were particular concerns regarding the landscaping, hardstanding and car parking then a deferral would be more appropriate. 

 

The Chairman then proposed that application be deferred for further details and negotiation regarding the landscaping (including paths) around the site and the car parking provision.  This was seconded by Mr Sutton.

 

In a vote Members agreed the proposal to defer.

 

Decision to be Deferred pending further details and negotiation.

 

The Committee took a five minute break.
