Planning Application No: 18/03668/FUL
Applicant: Mr & Mrs Shane Scammell
Location: Riding Gate Cottage, Riding Gate, Stoke Trister, Wincanton. BA9 8NQ
Proposal: Conversion of barn to dwelling.
Decision:
At a Site meeting at the above application Stoke Trister with Bayford Parish Council made no objections to the initial application as it complies with the NPPF regulations regarding rural development. Councillors would however like to see the immediate area in front of the property softened with some gentle landscaping.
Councillors noted a barn within the curtilage owned by the applicant is being used as an extension to his business premises in Bennett’s Field Garages by doing mot testing. We would be concerned if there were plans to increase the workload at this site.
Councillors also noted a static caravan on the site which seemed well established with a small garden on the site and we question whether conditional on this caravan being removed once the habitation certificate has been granted.
