Minutes:

            (Prior to consideration of this application, Councillor Mrs Yeates redeclared her personal interest and remained in the meeting and took part in the debate and vote)

 

BE/109/19/OUT – Outline application with some matters reserved for up to 46 No. dwellings together with access.  This application is a Departure from the development Plan & may affect the character and appearance of the Shripmey Conservation Area, Land east of Shripney Road & south of Haddan House, Shripney Road, Bersted

 

            The Committee had received a report on the matter, together with the officer’s written report update detailing:-

 

·         Amendment to refusal reason 3

·         As no Section 106 Agreement had been signed, two additional reasons for refusal to be agreed

·         An update was provided in respect of the two Arun DC Climate Mapping from the Strategic Flood Risk Assessment plans to take account of river and sea defences to mitigate and reduce the risk of flooding.

 

In considering the matter, both the Planning Team Leader and the Group Head of Planning reminded Members that this application had been voted upon at the previous meeting to not accept the officer recommendation to approve and that Members had voted to refuse the application on the grounds proposed by Councillor Coster.  The only matter for discussion was for the Committee to agree the reasons for refusal (as amended above), based on the debate at that meeting.  It was therefore stressed that the application itself should not be discussed further or additional issues put forward as reasons for refusal.

 

Councillor Coster, who had proposed that the application be refused, stated he was happy with the reasons for refusal but asked that reason 1 include reference to Policies TSP1 and TDM1 of the Arun Local Plan and Paragraph 110 and 122 of the NPPF.

 

In the course of discussion, some Members expressed their concern that the application had been refused as they felt the decision was unsafe and they would therefore be voting against the recommendation to approve the reasons for refusal.  A recorded vote was requested.

 

            The Committee

 

RESOLVED

 

That the reasons for refusal be approved as detailed in the report and the officer report update and subject to inclusion of Polices TSP1 and TDM1 of the Local Plan and Paragraph 110 and 122 of the NPPF in reason 1.

 

            As a recorded vote had been requested, Councillors Bennett, Coster, Mrs Hamilton, Lury, Oppler, Ms Thurston and Mrs Yeates voted FOR (7);  Councillors Bower, Charles, Kelly, Mrs Pendleton and Roberts voted AGAINST  (5); and Councillors Edwards and Tilbrook ABSTAINED (2).
