Agenda and minutes

Cllr N Sherwood for Cllr Hannigan and Cllr K Vickers for Cllr Davison.

The following member declared that he had been lobbied :

Cllr T Foster  - Application PA/2022/414

In accordance with the decision at the previous meeting, members had undertaken site visits on the morning of the meeting. The Group Manager – Development Management submitted reports and updated them orally.

Cllr N Sherwood stated that he had issues with the application following the site visit. He felt that the proposal was over powering, and way too large for the plot available, and would affect the houses that were already there.  He didn’t not feel he could support the application as it did not fit in with the area, the street scene, and was contrary to a number of planning policies.

It was moved by Cllr N Sherwood and seconded by Cllr Ross –

That planning permission be refused for the following reason –

1.

The proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the setting and character of the existing Almshouses and views of the site from the wider street scene. The current houses are set with private garden/amenity space around them and the proposed development would impact on the openness of the site and result in the loss of amenity space for the Almshouses. It is considered that the proposed development would have a significant adverse impact in terms of amenity, local historic character, appearance and setting. The proposal is considered contrary to saved policies H5, H7 and DS1 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan and CS5 of the adopted Core Strategy.

                                                                                    Motion Carried.

The Group Manager – Development Management submitted a report for determination by the committee including summaries of policy context, representations arising from consultation and publicity and assessment of applications. The Head of Service updated the reports orally where appropriate. Other officers attending gave advice and answered members’ questions as requested.

Resolved – That planning permission be granted in accordance with the recommendations contained within the officer’s report.

Resolved – That planning permission be granted in accordance with the recommendations contained within the officer’s report.

The applicant addressed the committee and outlined the reasons for submitting the application.  He stated that the proposal was the family dream, and to stay in Hibaldstow. The proposal was to restore the run down paddocks and restore them to their natural state.  He felt it was in keeping with the area, supported by neighbours and the Parish Council, and whilst slightly out of the boundary it would only improve the infested site and the area as a whole.

Cllr T Foster spoke as the local ward member and highlighted the local support there was for the proposal, with no opposition despite the fact that it was out of the boundary.  The site was currently awful and run down, and he felt a site visit from the committee would be most helpful in their determination of the application.

Cllr Wells having listened to the speakers, and reading the report felt that a site visit was required before they could make a decision.

Resolved – That a site visit be held and brought back to a future meeting of the committee.

The Planning Officer provided an update to the committee following comments received from the Flood Authority, and with agreement from the committee changes were required to the conditions.

Resolved - That planning permission be granted in accordance with the recommendations contained within the officer’s report, with the replacement of condition 7 with the following conditions –

7.

No development shall take place until a detailed surface water drainage scheme for the site has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The drainage scheme shall demonstrate that surface water run-off generated up to and including the 1 in 100-year critical storm (including an allowance for climate change which should be based on current national guidance) will not exceed the run-off from the existing site. It shall also include details of how the resulting completed scheme is to be maintained and managed for the lifetime of the development so that flood risk, both on and off the site, is not increased. SuDS must be considered. Reference

should be made to North Lincolnshire Council’s SuDS and Flood Risk Guidance Document. Should infiltration not be feasible at the site, alternative sustainable drainage should be used, focusing on above-ground solutions.

Reason

To prevent the increased risk of flooding to themselves and others, to improve and protect water quality, and to ensure the implementation and future maintenance of the sustainable drainage structures in accordance with policy DS16 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan, policies CS18 and CS19 of the North Lincolnshire Core Strategy, and paragraphs 159 to 169 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

8.

The drainage scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved submitted details required by condition 7 above, completed prior to the occupation of any dwelling or building within each phase or sub-phase of the development on site, and thereafter retained and maintained in accordance with the scheme for the life of the development unless otherwise agreed in writing with the local planning authority.
