6. Planning Matters
a. New Planning Matters
Application No: 19/00448/HOU
Applicant: Mr Simon Minney
Location: Riding Gate House, Riding Gate, Bayford, Wincanton. BA9 8NQ
Proposal: Erection of two storey side extension, re-building of front porch and erection of oak framed lean-to – There were no objections to this application providing that there was:
1. Adequate space to turn cars so that they did not have to reverse onto the highway.
2. The old caravan was to be removed.
3. The new building to be sympathetically built and in keeping with the existing building.
Planning Application No: 19/00794/FUL
Applicant: Mr & Mrs Roger Perry
Location: The Old School House, Stoke Trister Wincanton. BA9 9PF
Proposal: Change of use of paddock along with the construction of an all weather arena for winter turnout and schooling of horses on an area of land that is currently used for the horses – Unanimously no objections to this application.
Planning Application No: 19/00258/OUT
Applicant: Mr M and Miss F Haskett and Thornton
Location: Land at Church Farm, Stoke Trister, Wincanton. BA9 9PG
Proposal: Outline application (including access) with all other matters reserved for the redevelopment of Church Farm buildings and bungalow and erection of 2 dwellings.
Amended application – There were mixed feelings for this application with a vote of 3 in favour and 2 against.
Planning Application No: 18/1991/FUL
Proposal: The conversion of existing domestic storage building into single dwelling and provision of associated parking and turning area.
Location: Land at Sycamore Barn, Stoke Trister, Wincanton. BA9 9PE – The Chairman having consulted his Councillors makes the following observations. 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.
There were no new Planning Matters
b. Outcome of planning matters already considered:
Planning Application No: 18/03938/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. – No further information.
Planning Application No: 19/00373/FUL
Applicant: Mr & Mrs Garrett
Location: Highcroft, Bayford Lane, Stoke Trister, Wincanton. BA9 9PG
Proposal: Erection of a new dwelling. – No further information.
Planning Application No: 19/00258/OUT
Applicant: Mr M and Miss F Haskett and Thornton
Location: Land at Church Farm, Stoke Trister, Wincanton BA9 9PG
Proposal: Outline application with all matters reserved for the redevelopment of Church Farm buildings and bungalow and erection of 2 dwellings. – No further information. Amended plan.
Applicant: Mr Chris Bellars
Location: Land at Sycamore Farm, Stoke Trister, Wincanton.
Proposal: The conversion of existing domestic storage building into a single dwelling and the erection of a car port. – We recommend refusal of this application since the applicant has not demonstrated that the proposal would meet the requirement of SS2 in the local plan. However, we understand that the barn conversion proposed would be for family use only and we would be sympathetic to this if a new application was made for conversion ancillary to the existing dwelling on the property. – No further information. Amended plan.
