The Working Party had no objections.

Oakley Hall, Oakley  24/00534/FUL & 24/00535/FUL

The Working Party applauded the heroic scale of the proposal and the good use of steep falling ground. There is a lack of detail for example rainwater goods not shown, and details required for the doors into the basement and into the side of the house. Some members felt the adjacent garages fell short of the bold new design and would look too plain. Members did question the courtyard landscaping and objected to the removal of the gates from the widened “gate” piers and the pastiche landscaping which shouldn’t open out onto the main house frontage.  Elevation plans need minor amendments to match site plans. 

There were no applications for financial assistance.

To consider any business which is urgent within the meaning of Section 100B(4) of the Local Government Act, 1972

There was no urgent business.
