PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SESSION (Standing orders suspended)

A resident living adjacent to the land which is subject to planning application P/PABA/2021/05355, Dyetts Field, High St, Lytchett Matravers wished to comment on that application. He noted that despite objections from the Parish Council and many nearby residents, it was approved by DC. He noted that this proposal is on green belt land.

Consequently he wished to make the Parish Council members aware that the residents would like to explore what further steps may be taken in this case.

Members were reminded that this matter is scheduled to be discussed further in item 22 below.

21. Consideration of possible events to mark HM the Queen’s jubilee

The Chair referred to outline plans for the Jubilee weekend being prepared by another community, as an example of what might be achieved. It was noted that this should be a jointly planned and co-ordinated event involving a number of community organisations. It was suggested that Lytchett Matravers might align with the national schedule to light a beacon or bonfire on the evening of Thursday 2nd June. Discussion also included the possibility of a picnic or street party style celebration on the Recreation Ground on Saturday 4th June. Further ideas are to be explored and other LM organisations approached.

22. To discuss Green Belt matters in the light of: a) approaches to obtain Barrister Opinions, b) The processing of Agricultural Barn applications – specifically Dyetts Farm and c) class Q applications.

Cllr Morgan introduced this discussion by outlining the nature and purpose of Green Belt. This is set out in a dedicated chapter in the NPPF.

Cllr Morgan outlined the following three issues currently of concern for Lytchett Matravers:

(a) Approaches to obtain barrister opinions.

Purbeck District Council when preparing the Purbeck Local Plan stated that it would be possible to achieve the targeted housing numbers for the District without impinging on Green Belt. This was primarily through focusing that development on a small number of very large sites. However, ultimately PDC decided to spread the targeted housing numbers across the District – resulting in a substantial Green Belt re-designation around Lytchett Matravers.

The Parish Council has discussed the possibility of pursuing a judicial review to challenge this proposed development on Green Belt locally. Discussion and the decision on the recommendation for appointment of a barrister are still to take place.

(b) The processing of Agricultural Barn applications – e.g. Dyetts Field, High street Lytchett Matravers

Cllr Morgan explained that farmers have rights to put up agricultural buildings without permission (i.e. utilising permitted development rights), providing the relevant land holding is a minimum of five hectares.

Dyetts Field is 3.8 hectares. This was noted by the Case Officer. When this point was queried the applicant included additional land in the application, and on that basis the Case Officer approved. When challenged on this point the Case Officer responded that if it is later established that the applicant does not hold the qualifying amount of land this will become an “enforcement” matter.

Cllr Morgan also suggested the following four possible courses of action:

(i) Dorset Cllr Brenton to go back to DC Planning and ask for an “Article 4” direction – which removes permitted development rights in this case.

(ii) Neighbouring property owners / occupiers to submit a complaint to DC about the failure of the Case Officer and Planning Team Leader to exercise sufficient scrutiny in this case.

(iii) Objecting neighbours to seek legal advice, if it is established that false information has been submitted to DC Planning.

(iv) If it is established that false information has been submitted to DC Planning, letter to go to the applicant’s Agent.

c) Class Q applications.

Cllr Morgan reminded members that this concerns applications for the conversion / replacement of structures such as caravans, tin sheds etc to dwellings. The particular concern is where these structures are on Green Belt land. It was suggested that the Parish Council may wish to apply for “Article 4” directions for all locations where such structures exist within the parish.

In response to a number of the above points Dorset Cllr Brenton explained that she had written to the DC Head of Planning regarding the specifics of the Dyetts Field application.

23. To resolve to approve the following payments already made:

The East Dorset Area Planning committee referred an application in Swanage which sought to drop all requirements for affordable housing from an application on the former St Marys School site.

The EAPC also agreed to Solar panels on the roof of Durlston Castle Swanage, as any feasible increase in solar energy is welcome if not obtrusive and detrimental. Most of the items which come to Strategic Planning Committee are regarding large Solar Farms, which are being looked at kindly.

Waste Collections I hope that the regular requests that any information about problems with waste collection have had some effect.
