Comment:
|
The Local Member, Cllr
Vanessa Churchman, spoke on this item.
|
|
Decision:
|
The application was
refused contrary to officer recommendation on visibility and the potential
loss of on street parking and the siting and over dominance of the buildings.
In compliance with the
Council’s Constitution a named vote was taken as the decision was contrary to
officer recommendation.
The voting was as follows
:
For (9)
Cllrs Ivan
Bulwer, William Burt, George Cameron, Barbara Foster, Muriel Miller,
Brian Mosdell, Lady Pigot, Susan Scoccia, David Whittaker.
Against (2)
Cllr Henry
Adams, Arthur Taylor.
|
|
Reasons:
|
1.
In the opinion of the Local Planning the proposal would result in the
use of an access which would be substandard by reason of inadequate
visibility splays thereby adding unduly to the given the occurrence of on
street parking within the proposed visibility splays thereby adding unduly to
the hazards of highway users. As a
result the development would be contrary to policies G4c (General Locational
Criteria for Development) and TR7 (Highway Considerations for New
Development) of the Isle of Wight Unitary Development Plan.
2.
The scale and mass of the proposed development and its proximity to
the north western boundary would result in the development having an over
dominant and overbearing impact on the amenities enjoyed by ‘Little Cedars’
and would therefore be contrary to policy D1 (Standards of Design) and H5
(infill Development) of the Isle of Wight Unitary Plan.

URGENT BUSINESS – REQUEST TO HOLD A TWO DAY MAJOR MOTOCROSS
EVENT AT GORE BASIN, DOWNEND ROAD, ARRETON ON 17/18 AUGUST 2006
A request had
been received from the Amateur Motor Cycle Association to use the land at Gore
Basin near Arreton for a round of the British Masters Motocross Championship
scheduled to be held on the 17th and 18th August
2006.
Members were
reminded that the site had previously been used for major motocross events. There was no extant permission and there was
a valid Enforcement Notice, upheld on appeal, which effectively required the
land to be restored to its former condition by 26 July 2006, before the date of
the proposed event. The background of
the site was outlined enabling members to make an informed decision in relation
to the latest request.
The Committee
was advised that the landowner had indicated that a planning application would
be submitted in the near future, although to date none had been received.
The Local
Members, Cllr Erica Oulton, spoke on this item.
Additional
information had been received from the Amateur Motor Cycle Association. A letter of objection had been received from
Arreton Parish Council, a letter had been received from a local resident and
furthers representations from the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England.
Members
indicated that the Chief Executive should advise the Amateur Motor Cycle
Association and the landowner that in the absence of an extant permission the
Council was not prepared to agree to the holding of the event and would
exercise enforcement powers if they should proceed without the support of the
Council.
THAT the Amateur
Motor Cycle Association and the landowner be advised that in the absence of an
extant permission the Council would not be prepared to agree to the holding of
the event and would exercise enforcement powers if the event should proceed
without the support of the Council.
