Jubilee Barn, Astwell Road, Helmdon NN13 5QX
The committee noted that this was a retrospective application. After consideration of the details contained in the application documentation and some discussion thereof, it was resolved not to object to the application but to request that two matters of concern receive full consideration by the SNC Case
Officer
1. It is understood that the water supply to Jubilee Barn is from a private source and the adequacy of same for the change of use proposed should be checked by a suitably experienced and qualified person
2. Any approval should include a condition to prevent any further expansion of glamping because of the unsuitability of the narrow access roads to the site for increased traffic flows.
