RESOLVED

Consideration deferred for a Committee site inspection.

The Senior Planning Officer presented the application to the Committee.

Public Speaker, Objector: Kevin Thomas – referred to the following issues:

·         The history of the planning permissions on the site

·         Concerns around visibility and overlooking

·         There had not been a proper site visit carried out in 2023

Public Speaker, Supporter: Joanna Ashton, Applicant – referred to the following issues:

·         Converting the barn is a preferable alternative to any heritage concerns associated with rebuilding it altogether

·         Improved lighting and reduce feeling of being hemmed in

·         The windows concerned are small, at a low height in the room, and are at an awkward angle
