The report before Members sought planning permission for the change of use and conversion of two detached barns to form two detached self-contained dwellings.

During the debate Members discussed the impact the proposal would have on the Green Belt and possible further conversions on the site.

The report recommended that planning permission be granted however following a motion to refuse the granting of planning permission it was RESOLVED that planning permission be refused on the grounds of adverse impact on the openness and character of the Green Belt and therefore inappropriate development and also on the grounds of no education contribution.

The vote for the resolution to refuse planning permission was carried by 7 votes to 4.

Councillors Benham, Donald, Hawthorn, Nunn, Whitney, Martin and Williamson voted for the resolution to refuse planning permission.

Councillors Misir, Kelly, Wallace and White voted against the resolution to refuse planning permission.
