OBJECT TO THE APPLICATION for the following reasons:
• Visual impact – the Developers are trying to reduce the visual impact within the site, but not the wider landscape. The visual impact has not been considered from all directions eg from Country Park in the west.
• Planning Policy Guidance 8 (2001) indicates that there should be evidence that Developers have tried to share existing masts where possible. Other possibilities do not seem to have been explored with this application. Concern was also raised about the piecemeal way applications are being received for this site. It would be helpful to have a more holistic plan as to when further applications are to be submitted.
ACTION: the Clerk to check status of PPG8 The documents state the Parish Council considered the application on 16th December 2009. This was not the case.
ACTION: The Clerk to raise this issue with CDC. PL094 To receive additional information on 09/03788/FUL – Erection of Phase III tunnels at Agricultural Supply Co (Fairford)
