Previous Updates
The Planning Application was considered at the SMBC Planning Committee Meeting 4th September 2019, where a Deferral Decision was reached by the Planning Committee.
The two key issues that the Planning Committee focused on were the greenbelt and heritage issues.
Following discussions at the Planning Committee meeting, in spite of the SMBC recommendation for refusal, the developer was offered an opportunity to accept a deferral of the application, to allow them to consider options for reducing the size of the development, as currently it was considered excessive. Once this is completed revised details will be considered by the planning committee.
Previous Update
Please see attached the Parish Council’s response and the Copy of Survey Findings Report, referred to within the response submitted for the above Planning Application. The Parish Council based their response on views shared with them by Parishioners who responsed to the full Survey completed in Autumn 2017 and the information received from Parishioners regarding their views about the proposal, which was requested in the February 2019 newsletter.
Both the survey and the request for views in the February 2019 Newsletter, went to all homes in Tidbury Green. Therefore everyone was provided with an opportunity to respond and therefore the Parish Council believe that given the time available that we followed the most effective, democratic approach that we could.
Tidbury Green Parish Council Response.
