Declaration of Interests None declared. 351. Questions None received. 352. 2/2016/0727 - Outline planning application for 5 no dwellings (with layout and scale to be considered at the outline stage) - Land at Blitterlees, Silloth, Wigton Representations Jeff Downham spoke in objection to the application. John Graham spoke on behalf of Holme Low Parish Council. The agent Rachel Lightfoot spoke in support of the application. Application The Senior Planning Officer recommended approval. The Senior Planning Officer outlined the application and detailed the main issues within the report as follows: Principle of Development Extends beyond the settlement limits of Blitterlees which is a Limited Growth Village where small scale development is permitted within the existing settlement limits in order to contribute towards the 6% of the 5,471 net additional dwellings identified by policy S3 as arising from Limited Growth and Rounding off Villages over the plan period. However, Page 1 the settlement boundaries are subject to review and evidence to date suggests limited land availability within the existing settlement limit. Therefore justification exists to consider the proposal positively in this regard. Scale of development, density and layout relates well to the settlement. Visual Impact Insofar as this can be judged at the outline stage, the visual impacts of the development are considered to be acceptable Landscape Impact Given the large scale and wide open nature of this landscape subtype (coastal Plain), this small scale encroachment is considered to be acceptable. Residential Amenity An acceptable relationship with neighbouring properties is considered to be achieved. Ecology A survey has been provided which demonstrates that Great Crested Newts are unlikely to be affected by the proposal. Drainage Localised flooding issues with the beck have been highlighted by representations, however, subject to conditions, no concerns have been raised by the County Council or United Utilities. Trees/Hedgerows No significant removal required. Affordable Housing No provision required. Members noted the representations received in respect of the application, the main grounds of which were set out in the report. Members noted the list of consultations received since the preparation of the agenda. Additional letters of objection and representation from Silloth-on- Solway Town Council had been received. Councillor A Davis-Johnston moved approval as per the officer’s recommendation. Councillor B Pegram seconded. Page 2 A vote was taken; 7 in favour of approval and 5 against.
