Planning committee
Decided by Stroud Development Control Committee on 28 Jul 2026.
Approved by 6 votes to 1
As officers recommended.
No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.
- A resident and the Parish Council opposed the retrospective application, citing precedent, highway safety on a narrow access, and harm to the conservation area from earlier unauthorised building work.
- Officers said an earlier refusal had been dismissed on appeal solely over habitat mitigation for two protected sites, which the applicant had now secured, with other issues already found acceptable.
- A councillor queried recommending approval after a past refusal and appeal, and officers warned a refusal would need new evidence to avoid an appeal and cost risk; the committee approved the application six votes to one.
