The minutes of the meeting held on Wednesday 14 August 2024 were confirmed and signed as an accurate record.

All Members are invited to declare at this point any interests, including the nature of those interests, or lobbying in respect of any items appearing on this agenda.

Councillor Cliff Lunn declared a non-pecuniary interest in item number 4 of the agenda as he was the Division Member for the area of the application. He confirmed that although it was within his division area he had an open mind and would speak and vote on the item.

The Chair confirmed that an officer update note had been circulated and added to the North Yorkshire Council website.

The Committee considered a report of the Assistant Director Planning – Community Development Services relating to an application for planning permission. 

The conditions as set out in the report and the appropriate time limit conditions were to be attached in accordance with the relevant provisions of Section 91 and 92 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

In considering the report of the Assistant Director Planning – Community Development Services, where the Committee granted planning permission in accordance with the recommendation in a report this was because the proposal was in accordance with the development plan, the National Planning Policy Framework or other material considerations as set out in the report unless otherwise specified below. 

Report of the Assistant Director – Planning – Community Development Services.

Considered:-

The Assistant Director Planning – Community Development Services sought determination of a planning application for a new office building following demolition of an existing barn, conversion of an existing building to an office and associated works on land at Honeypot Farm, Common Lane, Burn, Selby.

The Senior Planning Officer presented the application to Members.

During consideration of the above application, the Committee discussed the following issues:-

·       Members queried if the objections received by the Council from a neighbouring property had been submitted by the property closest to the site.

·       In terms of noise issues, Members queried if this had been covered by previous conditions on another previous application.

·       Whether objections had been received from the Environment Agency and flood risk and drainage issues had been addressed.

·       If Members were correct in thinking that any enforcement complaint against the existing business wasn’t relevant to this application, and that the application should be determined on its own merits.

·       If this application was to aid a complete relocation of business premises for the company to this site. 

The decision:-

That planning permission be GRANTED subject to the conditions listed at section 12 of the Committee report.

Voting record:-

A vote was taken, and the motion was carried unanimously

Any other items which the Chair agrees should be considered as a matter of urgency because of special circumstances.

There were no urgent items of business.
