Decision:                          Deferred

 

Noting comments made during the public speaking from:-

                                               

Darren Mansfield- in support

 

together with comments from the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, no objection from the Environment Agency or Highway Authority, and comments from a nearby resident; late information report circulated to members present at the meeting including additional information in support from the applicant and no objection from Heritage Lincolnshire or Natural England, report of site inspection and comments made by members at the meeting.

 

The Chairman said that in view of what had been said during the public speaking, there was clearly more information to be obtained in regard to this application and he accordingly proposed that it be deferred for further information. This proposal received no seconder.

 

A further proposal was made, and seconded, that the application be approved subject to a condition that the development would only be occupied by a worker (and family members) who are essentially engaged in the direct care of the animals at the exotic pet refuge, being the land upon which the dwelling stands, and is not to be used as an independent dwelling.

 

The Development Management Service Manager advised members that planning reasons for overturning the case officer’s recommendations must be recorded, although he was not unhappy with the suggested condition brought forward earlier. For the guidance of Members the Assistant Solicitor referred to the six tests which must apply to the consideration of all applications, and he suggested that the Committee should have regard to annex “A” of PPS7, which indicated that any condition should confirm that the dwelling was essential to the needs of the enterprise concerned. The proposer of the motion indicated that he would be happy if consideration at this meeting was deferred, with authority given to the Chairman or Vice Chairman to approve the application subject to standard conditions and incorporating an appropriately worded condition, along the lines noted below:-

 

“That the development is only to be occupied by a worker (and family members) who is essentially engaged in the direct care of the animals at the exotic pet refuge, being the land upon which the dwelling stands, and is not to be used as an independent dwelling.”

 

The Development Management Service Manager advised the Committee that it would be necessary to advertise the application and the intention to approve it as a departure from the Local Plan. This would also form part of the Chairman or Vice Chairman’s decision, if the proposal was finally approved.

 

On being put to the vote the proposition to defer for approval by the Chairman or Vice Chairman was agreed, subject to the imposition of appropriate conditions and a condition along the lines of that referred to above, and also for the application to be referred to the Secretary of State as a departure from the Local Plan.
