Consideration of HPC's Statutory Consultation response deadline 17/02/2022.

Resident's present, raised concerns regarding the size and extent of the proposed development compared with the village. No local amenities, increased traffic flow through village, increased noise and light pollution and impacts on residential amenity on nearest properties. Visual landscape impacts.  Support comments included - direct access to local bus service, business opportunities for local contractors. Potential for increased custom at Elder Tree Inn once reopened. 

Extension of existing holiday facility. Proposed landscaping mitigates visual impacts. After extensive deliberations the Council:

Resolved: to Conditionally Support the application. However, the resolution was carried by the Chairman's casting vote with two Members abstaining: Clerk submitted HPC Consultation response accordingly.
