The Principal Planner introduced the report and explained that the proposal was for outline planning permission with all matters reserved bar access, for the construction of a dwelling on land to the west of Woodstock, an existing detached bungalow on Mill Hill Road, Boughton.

 

The site currently comprised paddock land on the bend of Mill Hill Road as it turned northwards from the village.  The site was bordered to the northeast by existing hedgerows and to the west and south by agricultural land.  The existing bungalow was to the east of the site and new dwellings, approved under planning reference 16/0753/O and 16/01891/RM were currently under construction to the north.  Existing stables on site will be demolished as part of this proposal.

 

Boughton was classified as a Smaller Village and Hamlet in CS02 of the Core Strategy (2011) and the infill policy therefore applies in accordance with DM3 of the SADMP (2016).  The site is also adjacent to Boughton Conservation Area.

 

The application had been referred to the Committee for determination by the Planning Sifting Panel.

 

The Committee noted the key issues for consideration when determining the application, as set out in the report.

 

The Principal Planner responded to the comments raised by the Parish Council.  She explained that by the reason of existing frontage development to both the north and east of the site the proposal was considered to constitute infill development and complied with Policy DM3.

 

The Democratic Services Officer then carried out a roll call on the recommendation to approve the application and it was (13 votes for, 1 against and 2 abstentions):

 

RESOLVED:That the application be approved as recommended.
