Minutes: In accordance with the Council’s procedure for public speaking on planning applications a representation was made as detailed below:
Item 1
Application Number: 4010/16 Proposal: Application for Outline Planning Permission – Erection of 5 no dwellings and garages and construction of new vehicular access Site Location: PALGRAVE – Kyloe, Prioory Road IP22 1AJ Applicant: Mr and Mrs B Dorling
The Case Officer presented the application and informed members that the development site was abutting the southern edge of the Settlement Boundary of the village of Palgrave and that the proposed site entrance would be on a road attributed with the National Speed Limit. In response to Members questions on the possibility of a pavement along Priory Road as well as about the National Speed Limit he responded that there was no pavement on Priory Road and access would be shared between traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. The Senior Development Planning Officer clarified to Members that the Committee could not change the speed limit but a bespoke letter could be sent to Suffolk County Council’s Highways Department.

He felt that a precondition should be included for connectivity to the sewers and that satisfactory and achievable proposals should be brought forward. Mr Bootman concluded that there would also be disruption to residents on Priory Road due to installation of amenities. Councillor David Whybrow enquired on the progress of the Neighbourhood Plan in Palgrave. The Senior Development Planning Officer responded that the plan was still very early in its development and there were no draft policies so should be given little weight.
Mr Graham Lee, Objector, said he was very concerned about road safety as Suffolk County Council’s Highways Department had originally objected to the proposal due to a footpath not being included in the proposal and that the NPPF stated that safe and suitable access should be available for all. No explanation had been given for withdrawing the objection following the traffic survey. He also commented that the drawing showing the visibility splays was inaccurate as there was no ... view the full minutes text for item 23. |
