Issue - meetings

To consider the above planning application.

The Committee were informed that the applicant had notified the Council that he had made an appeal against the non-determination of this item by the Council. Inquiries had established that the Appeal was not yet fully registered with the Planning Inspectorate. As a result, at the time of the Committee meeting, the application was still within the jurisdiction of the Council, but that may change prior to the issue of a decision notice. If the appeal was registered by the Planning Inspectorate prior to the issue of a decision notice then the decision of the Committee would be forwarded to the Planning Inspectorate as the views of the Council on the application.

Consideration was given to the above application.

(Ward Councillor Mrs H M Gaddum, Mr Evans representing Eaton Parish Council and Mr Evans representing an objector attended the meeting and spoke in respect of the application).

RESOLVED

That the application be refused for the following reasons:-

1. Impact on the character and appearance of the area and adverse visual impact
2. Inappropriate scale of development in a rural location, contrary to PPS4, Local Plan Policy RT13 and the Good Practice Guide for Tourism

(This decision was contrary to the Officers recommendation of approval).
