The Committee received a report
from the Head of Strategic Planning (item 6 in the minute book)
regarding a variation to the hours of operation and working at
Salvidge Farm in Timsbury.
Members were given a brief history of the site, along with its
purpose and why it was important, which was supported with a
location plan and aerial photographs. Different areas of the site
were highlighted along with their purpose.
The current condition was shown alongside the proposed amendment to
make it clear what was being requested and the key issues were
summarised as noted in the report.
It was noted that an
update report had been circulated to Committee, which included a
paragraph relating to Climate Change considerations and also
representations received on the application.
The Committee received two deputations on this item. Councillor Bob
David spoke on behalf of Michelmersh and Timsbury Parish Council
against the application. Whilst accepting the site played an
important role, it was felt that there was not suitable
justification in extending the operational hours and there was
concern in the local community. John Palmer also addressed the
Committee on behalf of the applicant and enforced that the changes
proposed were only to accommodate vehicular access and did not
apply to the use of machinery and did not change he number of
vehicles entering or leaving the site. The extra hours would enable
the vehicles to avoid rush-hour traffic and had been approved by
the Environmental Health Officer.
During questions of the deputations, the following points were clarified:
· There had been no breaches of conditions reported until 2021, and the one breach had been done by mistake;
· The A3057 could be a busy road dependent on the time of day;
· Waste from returning vehicles was only emptied and sorted during fully operational hours the following day
· Conditions were already in place to protect residents from noise
During questions of the officers, the following points were clarified:
· The Environmental Health Officer had been consulted on the changes to the condition and the circumstances were based on a ‘worst case’ scenario. In reality the changes would not be applicable every day.
· The application had been brought forward separately to one being considered for the same site in July 2021 due to it already being delayed from earlier in the year and it being ready to go to Committee.
In debate, Members discussed
how significant the changes were and the possible effects to
residents should the hours be extended. Some Members felt that 6:30
was too early for vehicles to be permitted to travel and enter the
site whereas others did not feel it would make much difference due
to the location of the site and lack of complaints.
It was proposed by Councillor Mark Cooper and seconded by
Councillor Stephen Philpott ...
