Applicant: Mr K Harding

Location: Twinsfield, Chuck Hatch Road, Fairwarp, TN22 3DT

Description: Change of use of existing outbuildings to holiday let.

Response date: 15th June 2011.

The following points were noted in discussion:-

  • The property has two entrances, one leading out onto the B2026 highway and the other onto Nursery Lane, Fairwarp.
  • Cllr Street enquired to the amount of additional traffic that a holiday let might ensue.
  • The Clerk noted that the proposed holiday let must be tied into the existing dwelling on the site, in order that the building may not be sold off as a separate dwelling in the future.  

It was resolved to recommend approval, with the condition that the developed outbuilding be tied to the main house ‘Twinsfield’, therefore not allowing it to be sold as a separate dwelling.
