149/02  The Council considered the following planning application.

02/00480/FUL: AMENDED PLAN 

Demolition of bungalow and erection of new bungalow and 3 mews properties; Conifers, Common Lane, Betley.

 

The Chairman reminded members of the informal discussion that had taken place at the end of the meeting on 29 August.  Members had expressed great concern that if they were asked to make comments on the amended plan outside a formal meeting there was no opportunity for members of the public to express their views on what appeared to be significant changes in the application whose location was in the central part of the village.  Consequently it had been decided to hold this extraordinary meeting to consider the amended plan formally and the Clerk was to check with Newcastle that their comments would be taken in to consideration when the application was hear by the Planning Committee on 10 September.  Assurance had been given that this was so.

RESOLVED that the Council having considered the amended application;

a.       maintains its view expressed in the earlier communication of 26 July that the revised proposal still represents over-development of the site;

AND

b.      is of the view that a development with a new bungalow with TWO mews properties might well be more favourably considered subject to the normal issues of amenity space, highway usage and vertical height.
