EXCLUSION OF PUBLIC
AND PRESS
RESOLVED :
THAT
under Section q00(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public and press
be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business, namely Minute
38, on the grounds that there was likely to be disclosure of exempt information
as defined in Paragraph 12 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act.
38.
REQUIREMENT FOR A SECTION 106 AGREEMENT TO SECURE THE
KEEPING OF A REGISTER OF HOLIDAY OCCUPIERS
Members considered the report of the Head of Planning Services in
respect of the requirement for owners of holiday accommodation to enter into a
Section 106 Agreement to keep a register of holiday makers.
The Committee were reminded that occupancy of holiday accommodation
should not exceed 6 weeks in any one year, it should not be used for a
permanent or main residence. A number
of applicants were unwilling or refusing to enter into a Legal Agreement ‘to
keep and maintain an up to date register detailing the usage of each unit to
include names and addresses of the principal member of a party only and dates
of their occupation and such a register shall, subject to being lawfully
available to do so be available for inspection by the Council on 48 hours prior
notice at the reception within the site or at such other location within the
Isle of Wight as the owners may notify and, subject to being lawfully able to
do, so to make available to the Council for the purposes of the Council
investigating a breach of planning control at the Council’s cost copies of any
part or parts of the said register if requested to do so by the Council.’
It was suggested that the Legal Agreement no longer be used but replace
it with a standard condition. There was
some discussion as to the best way of controlling the holiday use and officers
believed a condition was the best way forward.
RESOLVED :
(i)
THAT officers be
instructed to reassess each of the currently outstanding applications with a
view to changing the requirement from the need for a Section 106 Agreement and
to control occupancy of holiday accommodation solely by condition of any
planning permission.
(ii)
THAT this would most
likely lead to more applications to modify an extant Section 106 Agreement
where one had already been entered into be noted.
The meeting then adjourned and reconvened at County
Hall, Newport, Isle of Wight on Wednesday, 21 December 2005 commencing at 4.00
pm when there were present :
Present :
Cllrs Arthur Taylor (Chairman), Henry Adams, Ivan Bulwer,
