The following decisions were made by Shropshire Council’s South planning committee at its meeting at Shirehall, Shrewsbury on Tuesday 16 January 2018.

    4)         The information pursuant to conditions 6a (detailed landscaping) and 8a (tree protection) of permission reference 14/01173/OUT be not discharged at this stage.  The Landscaping and Planting Scheme to include Tilia Cordata (small-leaf lime).

  • 11 Greenfields Road, Bridgnorth, WV16 4JG (17/03114/CPE) Application for Lawful Development Certificate to confirm that the existing works of loft conversion, erection of porch with pitched roof and pitched roof over garage, installation of bow window to front elevation, creation of hardstanding to front garden, dropped kerb and erection of garden wall were within permitted development or have been completed for more than four years. Decision: That, as per the officer’s recommendation, a Lawful Development Certificate be issued for the following reason:
    The works to which this application for a Lawful Development Certificate relates, comprising of a loft conversion; erection of porch with pitched roof extending over the front of the garage; creation of hardstanding to the front of the property with associated dropped kerb and erection of garden boundary wall are works which constitute development under Section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.  From the information available, and on the balance of probability, all of the works were completed in excess of four years prior to the 12th July 2017.  Even if any of the works did not fall wholly within the conditions and limitations of permitted development  rights that were in force at the time the works were carried out, the fact that they constitute ‘operational development’ and were carried out more than four years ago, means the Council would be time-barred from taking any planning enforcement action. A Certificate of Lawful Development can therefore be issued.
    • Brand Oak House, 19 Rosemount Gardens, Ackleton, Bridgnorth (17/04037/FUL) Erection of 2 storey side extension.
    • Decision: That, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, planning permission be granted, for the following reasons: The scale of the proposed development, in combination with the existing extension to be retained, would not amount to inappropriate development in the Green Belt in this particular site context.  In addition, if it had been concluded the proposal would be inappropriate development, the Committee formed the view that the personal medical circumstances put forward constitute sufficient very special circumstances to override the presumption against inappropriate development in the Green Belt.  The property is already not a smaller open market dwelling, being one of some substance, and the extension would not materially alter the mix of open market dwellings in the countryside.

    Subject to:

    That Planning Officers be granted delegated powers to attach appropriate conditions.
