Additional documents:
Decision:
The Committee refused the application for the rasons set out in the report from the Head of Development Management.
Minutes:
Members visited the site on 6 December 2016.
Jennifer Norton (objector), Duncan Hartley (applicant’s agent) and Councillor Clive Bradbury (Newton Parish Council) addressed the meeting. Jennifer Norton pointed out that Newton was an infil-only village. In 2014, a number of sites had been assessed for development, and the current application site had been deemed the least suitable. She described the proposal as too big, and unsustainable given the lack of facilities in Newton. Mr. Hartley argued that there would be no adverse impact, and that the proposal was deliverable. Councillor Bradbury said that the Parish Council supported the application in principle because of the need for affordable housing within the village. However, he expressed concern about highway safety, layout and density, and privacy. He also said that the affordale housing should be for local people in perpetuity.
Following a brief debate, the Committee refused the application for the reasons set out in the report from the Head of Development Management.
