PLANNING & REGULATION COMMITTEE –
13 JANUARY 2003

Minutes of the Meeting commencing at 2.00 pm and finishing at 2.24 pm

Present:

The Committee considered the matters, reports and recommendations contained or referred to in the agenda for the meeting, together with a schedule of addenda tabled at the meeting, and decided as set out below. Except insofar as otherwise specified, the reasons for the decisions are contained in the agenda, reports and schedule, copies of which are attached to the signed Minutes.

Apologies for absence and temporary appointments were received as follows:

Apology from	Temporary Appointments

Councillor MacKenzie	Councillor Gatehouse

2/03. MINUTES

The Minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 2 December 2003 were approved and signed.

Minute 68/02 (Minute 62 and 58/02 – St Aloysius RC First School)

Mr Griffin advised that this matter had not yet been resolved. The County Council could not enforce its own development. The City Council were the enforcement authority and they had been informed. A further complication was that enforcement action could only be taken when a building had been completely demolished.

Minute 71/02 (City Farm, Eynsham)

Mr Cousins advised that a planning application had now been received for New Wintles Farm and it was likely that the application, along with the City Farm application (deferred 2 December 2002 meeting), would be submitted to the 7 April meeting.

3/03. NON-COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITION 2 OF PLANNING PERMISSION (CHD/12412/2-CM) FOR THE ‘INFILLING OF THE EXISTING HOLE WITH SOIL AND HARDCORE FOR AGRICULTURAL USE’ AT HACKPEN HILL, CHILDREY (REF: CHD/12412/3-CM)

(Agenda Item 5)

The Committee considered an application (PN5) to alter the conditions of an existing planning permission to allow tipping of inert waste for an additional two years.

Councillor Bryden declared a personal interest insofar as he was a member of the Ramblers Association.

The Committee noted suggested amendments by Councillor Power to paragraph 10, final sentence "should" to read "must" and paragraph 12, final sentence "can" to read "will".

RESOLVED: (on a motion by Councillor Mrs Fulljames, seconded by Councillor Cooper and carried nem con):

1. to approve the application to amend condition 2 of Permission No CHD/12412/2-CM as follows:

"The deposit of waste hereby permitted shall cease on or before 30 September 2004 and the site shall be restored in accordance with the approved details and conditions of this permission within a further period of 6 months or such longer period as the Local Planning Authority may approve in writing.

Reason: To minimise the duration of disturbance from the tipping operation."

2. that the following conditions be added/amended to update the permission:

"Aftercare of the restored site shall take place for a period of up to 5 years in accordance with an aftercare scheme to be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Such a scheme shall be submitted before 30 March 2004 and shall specify the steps proposed to be carried out during the aftercare period and make provision for an annual site meeting to discuss and agree steps necessary on the restored land.

Reason: To bring the land to the standard required for agricultural use.

The development hereby permitted shall be carried out solely in accordance with the approved submitted details and plans and those of planning permission CHD/12412/2-CM except as modified by these conditions and unless otherwise agreed by the Local Planning Authority in writing.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with approved plans and details"

3. that all other existing conditions on Permission No. CHD/12412/2-CM with regard to development on the site remain in force.
