Agenda item

The application was for the creation of a 2 pitch Gypsy/Traveller site comprising the siting of 1 mobile home and 1 touring caravan per pitch and associated works and access.

The application would have normally been determined under delegated authority.  However, the application had been called-in by Councillor Graham Alleway.

Members were advised of the following updates on the application:

“The SAMM and SANG contributions required for this proposal are £3,408.48 and £33,984, respectively.”

As the application had triggered the Council’s Public Speaking Scheme, a speech written by an objector to the application was read out by the Democratic Services Officer. The objector wished to remain anonymous for the purposes of public speaking.

The officer recommendation to refuse the application was proposed by Councillor Helen Whitcroft and seconded by Councillor Victoria Wheeler.

RESOLVED that application 20/0480 be refused.
