Application Number: 17/0427- Chobham Adventure Farm, Chobham, Woking, GU24 8BY

Minutes:

The Application was for the provision of outdoor play equipment. (Additional Plans recv'd 31/08/2017.) (Additional Information rec'd 01/11/2017 & 02/11/2017.) (Additional plan recv'd 25/5/18). The part retrospective application related to the retention of outdoor play equipment and the provision of further equipment on the site.

 

This application would normally have been determined under the Council’s Scheme of Delegation, however, it had been called in for determination by the Planning Applications Committee at the request of Cllr Tedder because of concerns that the proposal was unneighbourly and provided play equipment on an area allocated for animal provision.

 

Members were advised of the following updates:

The applicant has provided significant amendments and additional information which seeks to rebalance the animal/education provision with the indoor/outdoor play as follows:

·         Further details about the extent of the education provision;

·         An update about the timing of the animal building provision (expected to be in September 2018);

·         Amendments to the proposed site layout to provide animal paddocks at the side and rear of the animal building; and

·         Reduction in height of the proposed astro-slide to 3 metres.

As such, it is recommended that the application be deferred to a later meeting to allow neighbour notification, any required consultations and time for officer consideration of these changes.  The letter and amended drawings are attached as Annex 1 to this update.”

Members noted the letter and amended drawings published as an annex in the supplementary papers at the meeting.

The officer recommendation to defer the application to a later meeting was proposed by Councillor Edward Hawkins and seconded by Councillor Valerie White, and put to the vote and carried.

            RESOLVED that application 17/0427 be deferred to a later meeting to allow neighbour notification, any required consultations and time for officer consideration of these changes.
