Recommendation: Members supported this application subject to the building being separate from the existing dwelling.

Recommendation: Members supported this application subject to the Conservation Officer approving the windows.

Recommendation: Members objected to this application and commented that:

  • The road access is on to a road where traffic is fast making it unsafe to access.
  • The Nightingales should be given more protection than is stated.
  • Footpaths are being re-routed. What progress has the developer made with their application to re-route the footpaths and how do they intend to maintain the re-routed footpaths?
  • A gate is now to be closed at night, making this development no being longer 'a part of the village' 

Members also wished to repeat their comments made on the original application.
