09/01

Gough, Parcel 2675, Chew Hill - Provision of gate access to field ( retrospective)

08/04614/FUL

05.01.09

05.02.09

Chew Magna Parish Council objects to this application.

We consider the position of the gateway on Chew Hill is dangerous and advice from the Traffic Safety engineer should be sought.  We believe access could be via another field owned by the applicant that is adjacent to that part of Butham Lane which leads on to Chew Hill. We are concerned that hedgerow which was 30years old was removed to create the gateway, and that no effort was made to screen the new fencing to reduce the impact of the gateway on the openness of the Green Belt. We are also concerned that the field which is adjacent to the domestic curtilage of the applicant remains as a separate parcel of agricultural land.

Refused

Parfitt, Mobile home opposite Greylands, Upton Lane – Erection of mobile home (resubmission)

08/04695/FUL

06.01.09

05.02.09

Chew Magna Parish Council seeks to make comments only.

My Council is equally divided on whether or not to support this application. We would ask that, as this proposals concerns development in the Green Belt and that the justification for this rather large mobile home is that it is necessary for the carrying out of an agricultural business, officers check to establish that the dwelling is related to the needs of the applicant to carry out an existing agricultural business, and that the requirements of Local Plan policy GB1 and HG10 are being met. Our concern is that the letter from the vet is dated May 2007 and the design statement is the same one as was submitted in February 2008, and that the applicant himself describes it as a” retirement home”.

Refused

Feb PC

09/02

Simmons, 2 Northfields, Norton Lane – Erection of two – storey and single –storey rear extensions.

09/00013/FUL

06.01.09

05.02.09

Chew Magna Parish Council supports this planning application.

We believe it will not harm the amenity of neighbouring properties and that the scale and design is not harmful to the openness of the Green Belt, its rural character or the character of the Conservation Area.

Permitted

Sept PC

Newell, Brockway, Norton Lane – Erection of side and rear extension, replacement of flat roof with pitched roof and erection of timber outbuilding.

09/02725/

FUL

05.08.09

03.09.09

Chew Magna Parish Council supports this application.

The proposals do not have an adverse impact on the amenity of properties in the immediate neighbourhood. The alterations to the main house, and the erection of a timber outbuilding set within the large grounds will not affect the openness of the Green Belt. We believe that changes to the front south facing elevation enhance the buildings appearance and therefore add to the character of the street scene in this part of the Conservation Area.

Permit

Oct PC

09/16

Fuller, Smith, and Turner PLC, Bear & Swan, 13 South Parade – Alterations to first floor of public house to form 4 bed and breakfast rooms and enlargement of manager’s flat.

09/03042/FUL

26.08.09

08.10.09

Chew Magna Parish Council supports this application as we are keen to promote measures which increase the sustainability and diversity of businesses within village centre, where opportunity is limited because of environmental and other factors We believe proposals to change the accommodation so that there is increased bed and breakfast space (which is lacking in the village centre) and a reduction of office premises (of which we have plenty) will assist in this aim. The changes are internal and therefore do not have an adverse impact on the amenity of properties or businesses in the immediate neighbourhood.

Evershed, Silver Birches, Nutgrove Lane – Erection of two storey dwelling following demolition of existing bungalow.

09/03395/FUL

18.09.09

08.10.09

Chew Magna Parish Council supports this application. The proposed new dwelling though considerably taller is located more centrally within the plot which will reduce its impact on the amenity of properties in the immediate neighbourhood. The increase in height, although of some concern, is offset by the reduction in overall area of land covered by the building and therefore on balance will not increase harm on the openness of the Green Belt. We believe the new build is an improvement on the existing building and is more in keeping with the vernacular of the buildings in the Lane. We would wish to see traditional materials of red sandstone, render and timber used for cladding again to ensure that the new build is in keeping with the vernacular. We would wish to ensure that the new build is sustainable and are surprised there is no statement on energy sources/ usage as we believe all new build offers an opportunity to introduce energy reduction/ alternative energy source technology.

 

Dec PC

09/18

Taylor, Willow Cottage, ( Church Lane) Silver Street – Erection of a single storey rear extension.

09/04016/FUL

12.11.09

03.12.09

Chew Magna Parish Council supports this application.

We believe that the extension, which is small, will not detract from the character of the Conservation Area. The property is in an area susceptible to flooding and we would ask that if development is permitted mitigation measures, on the lines specified in the Flood Risk Assessment, form part of the planning conditions.
