Minutes:
Convert a former Church into a holiday unit
(a) The
Development Control Manager elaborated on the background of the application and
noted that it was a listed building application. Attention was drawn to the
late observations received from the agent where it was confirmed that there was
no intention to install secondary glazing by now.
It was noted that it was considered that the proposal was acceptable and
a way of securing long-term use for the listed building and was suitable use of
the building. The adaptations were a fair and suitable compromise for the
building in order to secure use and they were also of a type that could be
installed and removed without damaging the building.
It was added that it was considered that the original features would be
kept and protected and that the proposal as a whole would not disrupt the
historical or architectural character of the listed building. The development
complied with the GUDP for the reasons noted in the report.
It
was noted, after receiving additional information from the agent, that the
recommendation had changed to what was noted in the report and that it was now
recommended to delegate powers to the Senior Planning Manager to approve the
application subject to receiving plans relating to the bat roost and to the
receipt of favourable observations from the Biodiversity Unit to those plans,
receipt of the details of providing/installing services in the building along
the path, to the receipt of confirmation from CADW that the proposal was
acceptable and to relevant conditions along with the additional condition of
reaching agreement on the boundary treatment.
(b) The following main points were made by the local member (not a
member of this Planning Committee):-
·
That the majority of those concerned were now of
the opinion that it was better to preserve the building's condition.
·
That she was not happy to see chains being
installed as boundary treatment following incidents with children and chains;
·
She asked to be a part of the discussions regarding
the boundary treatment.
(c) It was proposed and seconded to approve the
application.
A member noted that it was important to include the local member in the
discussions regarding the boundary treatment.
RESOLVED to delegate powers to the Senior Planning Manager to approve
the application subject to the receipt of details regarding the provision/installation
of services in the building along the path in terms of the archaeological
