2.8.3 The Local Planning Authority can request further information if they consider that
changes in the surrounding area, which are unrelated to the proposed scheme but
have taken place since the original grant of permission, have affected design or
access considerations that are relevant to the proposed scheme.
2.8.4 The guidance in relation to extension of time applications makes clear that Local
Planning Authorities should take a positive and constructive approach towards
applications which improve the prospect of sustainable development being taken
forward quickly. The development proposed is an application for extension of time
which will have been judged to be acceptable in principle at an earlier date. While
these applications should, be determined in accordance with s.38(6) of the Planning
and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, Local Planning Authorities should, in making
their decisions, focus their attention on development plan policies and other
material considerations (including national policies on matters such as climate
change) which may have changed significantly since the original grant of
permission.
2.8.5 Given that the Local Planning Authority power to impose conditions remains
unchanged, if appropriate, different conditions can be imposed or some conditions
(i.e. discharged preconditions can be removed).
2.8.6 However, the main issue is any significant changes in the development plan or
other relevant material considerations since the permission was granted, and
whether this would lead to a significantly different decision on the application. In
light of this these are considered in further detail below.
2.9 Changes to the Site and its Surroundings
2.9.1 Following a site visit and having undertaken a comparison between the site as
currently exists and as existed on the previous application, it appears that there is
no significant change in the surrounding area, nor the layout and arrangement of
the site, including landscaping, boundary treatments, accesses and egress. It is
therefore considered that in respect of the site itself and its immediate surroundings
there is nothing in this respect that would lead to a different decision than that
originally made.
2.10 Planning Applications on or Around the Site
2.10.1 Since the previous application was granted there are no subsequent planning
applications recorded for the application site itself. In relation to surrounding sites
there have been the following applications granted on the site known as Orchard
House to the west:
• 2011/0165/FUL for conversion of agricultural barns to self contained
residential dwelling approved on 16 May 2011.
• 2011/0787/HPA for the erection of a conservatory to the rear approved on 2
November 2011.
• 2011/0788/FUL for the erection of a detached garage within the curtilage of
The Barn, to the north of Orchard House approved on 15 November 2011.
