(Change of use of existing farm building into cattle building, retention of existing earth bund and re-submission of alterations to existing vehicular access)

The Planning Officer (SM) addressed the Committee and provided a summary of the application. She referred to an amendment to the report at paragraph 2.1 that the nearest dwelling to the north of the site was 300m and not 900m as stated in the report.

Pursuant to Chapter 2, Part 9, Paragraphs 2.8-2.28 of the Council’s Constitution in relation to public speaking at Planning Committee, the Chair allowed the following to give a three minute presentation:

• Councillor Andy Pickering, Gaddesby Parish Council
• Councillor Robert Child, Ward Councillor

Councillor Pritchett proposed that the recommendation within the report be approved. Councillor Glancy seconded the motion.

RESOLVED

That the application be APPROVED subject to the Planning Conditions detailed in Section 11 of the report.

(Unanimous)

REASONS

The reasons for approval are as outlined within the report.

(Councillor Mike Brown entered the meeting at 6.16 pm after the Officer presentation which meant he had not heard the introduction to the application and therefore was too late to take up the position of substitute for Councillor James Mason, so he moved into the public gallery and took no part in the meeting.)

To consider any other business that the Chair considers urgent

There was no urgent business.
