Agenda item

Erection of a garage block to replace redundant stables.

The officer presented the report on application P14/V1514/HH to erect a garage block to replace redundant stables at The Grange, Bourton. Consultations, representations, policy and guidance and this site’s planning history are detailed in the officer’s report which forms part of the agenda pack for this meeting.

Updates from the report: Vertical boarding rather than diagonal could be considered as conditions, following a discussion with the Chairman prior to the meeting.

The committee considered this application, with advice from officers where appropriate; the discussion covered the following points:

• Concern for the garage potentially being converted into residential accommodation; to add a condition for it only to be used for ancillary purposes.
