4/01008/17/FUL - NEW 3-BED DWELLING - THE FIRS, MEGGS LANE, CHIPPERFIELD KINGS LANGLEY, WD4 9JN

Minutes:

J Seed introduced the report and said it had been referred to the committee due to the contrary views of Chipperfield Parish Council. He advised members that the recommendation was to refer the application back to the Group Manager to approve after a unilateral undertaking regarding future occupancy of the dwelling had been completed.

Michael Fitzmaurice and Peter Baker spoke in support of the application.

It was proposed by Councillor Birnie and seconded by Councillor Maddern that the application be granted in line with the officer’s recommendation.
