MINUTES It was pointed out the application at 42.3 in the minutes should have been for the following application and not the one as stated in the minute: Application: 2012/0903/OUT Location: Hall Farm, Hall Lane, Church Fenton Proposal Outline application (all matters reserved) for residential development following the demolition of existing farm buildings The Chair explained that an email had been received from a public speaker requesting other amendments be made to the previous minutes. The Chair stated that he had spoken with officers and decided that the suggested alterations would introduce no material changes to the meaning of the record and therefore there was no need to make the requested amendments. The Chair explained that if there were factual errors then he was happy for amendments to be made. With regard to public speakers, the Chair informed the Committee that the minutes would no longer contain detailed notes on what was said by each speaker and would instead contain a simple sentence outlining whether the speaker spoke in favour or against the application.

Planning Committee 6 March 2013 2 ii) That future minutes of the Committee only contain reference to whether a public speaker spoke in favour or in objection to a planning application and not details of their comments. 46. PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECEIVED Consideration was given to the schedule of planning applications submitted by the Lead Officer, Planning. 46.1 Application: 2012/0980/FUL Location: The Paddock, Mill Lane, Brayton Proposal Conversion of existing single storey general purpose agricultural building into a farm shop including car parking and delivery access area and demolition of single storey steel sheeted outbuilding The Planning Officer presented a report which had been brought before the Planning Committee as the proposal was contrary to Policy S4 of the Selby District Local Plan and on the basis that more than 10 valid letters of objection had been received from local residents so the scheme was considered to be locally controversial. The Planning Officer explained that the proposal was considered to be contrary to Policy S4 of the Local Plan in that limited information had been submitted in relation to the need of the farm shop. It was explained however that this policy was given limited weight due to its non-conformance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The Planning Officer explained that the proposal represented the conversion of an existing building and would provide a facility for the local community and visitors which was supported by the NPPF and was therefore acceptable in principle. The Committee were informed that it was not considered that the proposed development would result in an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area, highways, flood risk or the amenity of surrounding occupiers. The Committee Update note, outlined the comments received since the report was collated and included ten submissions in support of the application and three submissions in objection to the application. It was also pointed out that paragraph 2.97 should be amended to read as follows: The proposed conditions are considered reasonable and enforceable with the exception of that relating to prevention of mud on the highways during the construction works. As such subject to the noted conditions it is considered, therefore that the proposed development is in accordance with Policies EMP7(4), EMP8(6), ENV1(2), T1 and T2 of the Selby Local Plan and the advice contained within the NPPF. In addition, the Committee were informed that confirmation had been attained in writing from the Agent that all of the land required for the development was either in the ownership of the applicant, Mr C Hirst, or was Highways land. Planning Committee 6 March 2013 3 Mark Williams spoke in objection to the application. Richard Plackett, agent spoke in favour of the application. The Committee debated the application and a vote was taken. RESOLVED: i) That the Committee receive and note the report. ii) That the Committee APPROVE the application subject to the conditions detailed at paragraph 2.15 of the report. 46.2 Application: 2012/0415/FUL Location: Extension to Euro Auctions site including development of an office building, workshop, auction area, new access arrangements, car parking, hardstanding and associated landscaping Proposal Euro Auctions Ltd, Roall Lane, Kellington The Planning Officer presented a report which had been referred to the Planning Committee as there was significant local opposition to the scheme both from residents and Parish Councils. The Planning Officer explained that the application was considered at Planning Committee on 12 December 2012 and Officers were requested to undertake further discussions with the applicant on the scheme in relation to the access point into the development, the location of the proposed loading bay and the approach to car parking provision. It was explained that Planning Officers, along with North Yorkshire County Council Highways Officers, met with the applicants and their agent on 20 December 2012 and a revised scheme was submitted in mid January 2013. A 21 day re-consultation was undertaken upon receipt of the revised scheme which expired on 7 February 2013. The Committee Update note, outlined a further letter which had been received from National Grid which stated that they had no objection to the proposal.
