Minutes of a Site Planning Meeting of  

Stoke Trister with Bayford Parish Council  

held on 21 June 2019 at 10.00 am 

Present: Cllrs: N Linsley (Chairman) M Grant, J Macfarlane, M Summerfield, J Garrett, and R  Webb-Bowen 

1. Apologies – Cllr J McKenna 

2. Declarations of Interest – None 

3. Planning 

Planning Application No: 19/01284/REM 

Applicant: Mr. Shaun Paul 

Location: Land adjacent to Highbrook, Devenish Lane. 

Proposal: Application of reserved matters following approval of 18/02145/OUT for the erection of a  two storey detached dwelling to include access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale. 

Decision: 

At a site meeting today, the following observations were made by Stoke Trister with Bayford Parish  Council: The Councillors were unable to access the site as no one was available to ask permission. 

1. Devenish Lane is a rural settlement and this application does not conform with the  requirements of the SS2 housing need within the SSDC Local Plan 2006-2028. 2. Devenish Lane is a dangerous single-track lane encountering a lot of traffic at present. Further  development will cause more traffic and more distress to residents. 

3. There will be a massive amount of drainage work to be done. 

4. We reiterate our previous observations for this application made on 28 September 2018. 5. Stoke Trister with Bayford Parish Council therefore unanimously refuse this application. 

Some Councillors mentioned that the owners were running a business from this site with no  planning permission. This has been previously addressed to the Planning Department,  however, we are unaware what, if anything, has been done about it.

Minutes of a Site Planning Meeting of 

Stoke Trister with Bayford Parish Council held on 26 April 2019 at10.00 am

Present:  Cllrs: E Parsons (Chairman) J Macfarlane and M Summerfield.

1. Apologies – Cllrs: T MacCaw and N Linsley.

2. Declarations of Interest – None

3. Planning 

Planning Application No:  18/01991/FUL

Location:  Land at Sycamore Barn, Stoke Trister. Wincanton. BA9 9PE

Proposal:  The conversion of existing domestic storage building into a single dwelling and provision of associated parking and turning area.

Decision:

We have no objection to the smaller building being ancillary to the main house. We do object to the conversion of the larger building into a house separate to the main house.   

This application does not appear to conform to the requirements of the NPPF which discourages new dwellings in a rural settlement and is contrary to the Stoke Trister with Bayford local plan.  This building does not have any architectural merit and it is doubtful whether it would enhance its surroundings as a number of houses would be cramped together in a small area giving the impression that this could be the start of a larger housing development?  

Our views as a Parish Council have not changed from the last application and therefore recommend refusal of this application.

Proposal:  The erection of a horse walker.

Decision:

After discussion with Councillors and Public Stoke Trister with Bayford Parish Council were happy with the location of the construction. They had no objection to this application providing the following points where taken fully into account:

1. Roofing was to blend in with the location and surroundings.

2. Whilst the Councillors appreciated that there would need to be some lighting it was requested that it would not be left on all night and when not in use.

The applicant assured both Councillors and Public that both of these points would be adhered to. 

Meeting closed 10.30am

1. Apologies – Cllrs: M Grant, J McKenna, R Webb-Bowen and J Garrett

2. Declarations of Interest – None

3. Planning 

Planning Application No: 19/02369/FUL

Applicant: Mr Simon Minney

Location:  Riding Gate House, Riding Gate, Wincanton. BA9 8NQ

Proposal:  Conversion of an existing outbuilding to an annex/holiday let.

Decision:

1. On principle restoring this building there are no objections. It is a positive approach to restore and old building.
2. One comment we wish to make is that the existing pantiles be used rather than the tiles on the application. This would maintain the character of an old building.
3. When we reviewed the planning Application No: 19/00448/HOU we requested that the mobile home should be removed.
4. We note that that there is now a substantial wood cladded building in place now. Has planning permission been granted for this? 
5. Will this also be used for a holiday let?
6. Will planning permission be required for change of use for both of these buildings for holiday lets?

Planning Application No:  19/02457/HOU

Applicant: Mr & Mrs Andrews

Location:  Park Farmhouse, Beech Lane, Stoke Trister, Wincanton. BA9 9PQ

Proposal:  The erection of an oak framed detached garage building incorporating home office and ancillary accommodation.

Decision:

1. It is unclear from the map exactly where the building would be situated.
2. The most sensible positioning would be if the old stables were demolished and the new building sited there.
3. Please clarify if this is the case, if so, we have no objection to the application.
4. One query would be have they obtained planning permission for the new stables in situ at the moment.

NB. Mrs Andrews contacted the Chairman to state she would be away on holiday at the time of the meeting.

Present:  Cllrs: N Linsley (Chairman) M Grant (Vice Chairman) M Summerfield, J Macfarlane, J McKenna , R Webb-Bowen and J Garrett

Public: Patricia Gillman (Clerk) Libby Patterson

1. Apologies – None

2. Declarations of Interest – None

3. Planning 

Planning Application No:  19/01778/FUL

Applicant: Mrs J Calderwood

Location:  Land rear of 2 Cambria Villas Devenish Lane Bayford Wincanton. BA9 9NG

Proposal:  The erection of a new single storey dwelling and the formation of a new vehicular access off Bayford Hill – re-submission

Decision:

The site planning meeting was attended by all 7 Councillors, 4 of whom were new to the Council.

This application was unanimously refused by all Councillors on the basis of:

1. The plot in question is far too small for any development.
2. The recreation space is not sufficient for 2 properties.
3. We reiterate our previous concerns over the dangerous access onto Bayford Hill. We believe that Highways has not visited this site before making their observations. We ask that Highways at SSDC visit this site before any decision is made by the planning officer.
4. It would be taking away a decent family house and garden.
5. As this is one of a pair of semi detached properties any development as applied for would make it disproportionate on one side of a garden.
6. It is basically garden grab and overdevelopment.

The Chairman stated that the applicant had contacted her by telephone asking if the meeting could be moved to another day as she was unable to be there. The Chairman’s response was that we couldn’t and she should try to get a representative to be there.
