Notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation that the application be approved, some Members felt that the location was inappropriate and was not a preferred location as identified in the Core Strategy, was outside the settlement boundary, and the additional housing in Burbage was not required.

Councillors Bannister, Bill, Cope, Mrs Hall, Hulbert, Inman, Mayne, Moore and Witherford voted FOR the motion (9);
There were no votes AGAINST the motion (0).
