16/81. Planning

Planning application received:

FUL/MAL/16/00265 - Proposed application for the development of six detached dwellings with associated garage & parking and access road (formerly consented for four detached dwellings - consent has been implemented), Land Adjacent To Langford Waterworks Hatfield Road Langford Essex. The Parish Council agreed to recommend refusal for the following reasons: The increase in the number of properties from four to six and changed layout intrudes into the deep, landscaped buffer zone adjacent to Hatfield Road which was included in application FUL/MAL/10/00981 to mitigate the effect of built development on Bridge Cottage, a Grade II Listed Building and the Museum of Power, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The layout proposed is not representative of the village and is unfamiliar and intrusive to its character. The site area is greater than 0.4ha and should therefore trigger a proportion of affordable housing. The Parish Council was also concerned about flooding as the north eastern corner of the development site has on occasions been flooded and this will be exacerbated by the increased hard landscaping associated with the additional houses and proposed new road.

 

16/82. Neighbourhood Plan

It was agreed that the clerk would apply for a further grant for the planning consultant to assist with alterations to the plan subsequent to examination, (5 days) and printing the referendum version of the Plan.

 

16/83. Date of next meeting

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday 17th May 2016 2016 at Crouchmans Barn, Ulting.

 

The meeting closed at 6.35pm.
