E/09/0551/FUL Finches Farm, Baydon
Conversion of garage attached to the Old Dairy to further accommodation. Addition of two small clay tiled timber canopies above front and side door of Old Dairy.
There were no objections. Concern was expressed about retention of the asbestos corrugated roof.
Erection of dwelling and garage
There were seven objection expressed:-
(i) There is no change in terms of planning requirements applied to K/59682 i.e. no change in principle.
(ii)The building is located outside the Line of Development for the village.
(iii) The building is out of scale
and character in comparison with neighbouring properties. Approval could
establish precedent for further ribbon development along
(iv) There are two windows on the first floor, giving the potential
for overlooking to properties in
(v) The significantly larger footprint reduces the limited garden area even further. PPS7 and SPG refer.

(vi) The existing access did not proceed through a planning process.
(vii) The shed and 7ft high (approx) fence already exists in new locations ie moved/built without planning permission, contravening condition 7 of K/56453.
Questions were raised as to whether the statement "replacing section of close board fencing” on drg, no. 829/06 is correct. The general view was that the original post and wire fence extended to the location noted on the drawing as “existing close board fencing”.
In view of the above objections Parish Council resolved not to support the application.
The meeting closed at 8.30 pm
