PARISH COUNCIL DECISION
22 JULY 2024
STANCE: Object
COMMENT: On 1st July Sutton Mandeville Parish Council held a second public meeting to consider the revised plans for the proposed erection of a timber building and new access. Two residents voiced clear objections which had been detailed in a submitted comment, and another resident questioned the feasibilty of the revised proposal for an access, which would require major earthworks and cause a significant change to the character of the narrow country lane.
SMPC welcomes the subsequent withdrawal of the access proposal as it lacked topographic detail, and would have contributed detrimentally to rain water run off due to the area of necessary graded slope.
SMPC would like to see new drawings as there are inconsistencies with those available, and ambiguity about the proposed area of hard standing around the building and access to it from within the domestic curtilage. It is also noted that the proposed location of the building conflicts with the existing approval for a solar array under PL/2023/00647.
In light of the parish council's objection to PL/2024/03227 for an array in the field to the south, it must object to this proposal for a timber building.

PARISH COUNCIL DECISION
15 July 2024
STANCE: Object
COMMENT: Sutton Mandeville Parish Council held a second public meeting on 1st July to consider revised plans for this application. The plan for the solar array remains unchanged from the previous application except for a planting scheme designed to screen the array. Residents and councillors were unconvinced that this proposal would significantly mitigate the adverse impact of the solar panels on the landscape. Any planting would have to be monitored and assessed for its effective purpose ongoing and it is doubtful that any condition of planting can be precisely enforced.
Therefore the PC’s views remain the same as previously stated. It should however be noted that the PC previously supported a prior application for a slightly smaller solar array in a different location at the Homestead. The current proposal sites the extensive array in an open agricultural field at a distance from the domestic curtilage. Despite the proposed efforts to screen the array, it would be a prominant feature in the landscape, highly visible from Rights of Way and neighbouring properties.
Given the existing permission to install a ground mounted array near the house and hedge, the PC firmly objects to this application.
