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

The applicant addressed the committee outlining the proposed development, and stated that he felt it would only improve the little lane in Wootton. It was an infill development on a large plot with no loss to any of the neighbouring properties. Highways had no objections and neither did the drainage department, and therefore asked that the committee approve the application.

Cllr J Davison felt that proposal was a nice development for the area, looked nice from the plans and was in a good location.

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

An objector addressed the committee on behalf of a number of residents. They had concerns with rad safety, as they felt the etra vehicles and parking would cause potential issues. The objector stated there was already issues with the footpath, and tractor and trailers going down a very narrow lane with visability issues. If the application was to be approved it would only cause problems in a quiet residential area, with added noise disturbance.

The applicant also addressed the committee and highlighted it was a fundametal service for the area, and familys would struggle to work without the provision.  She oultined the business and the outside play time limits in order to keep noise levels down, and stated there was n proven noise issues with the business.

Cllr Hannigan felt for both sides who had addressed the committee, but also felt there was some concerns that required exploringing, therefore, he suggested the committee hold a site visit.

It was moved by Cllr Hannigaan and seconded by Cllr Wells –

That the committee hold a site visit before making a decision, and it be borught back to a future meeting.

                                                                                                Motion Carried.

Cllr Hannigan refered to the previous application that was submitted prior to this one, and felt nothing had changed to the reasons that it was refused previusly. Therefore, he could not support the application.

It was moved by Cllr Hannigan and seconded by Cllr Wells –

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons –

1.

The proposed development is contrary to policies RD2 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan and CS2, CS3 and CS8 of the North Lincolnshire Core Strategy in that the site lies outside the defined settlement boundary, in the open countryside, remote from local services. It is considered that the development would have an urbanising effect on the southern edge of the settlement by introducing built form into the rural landscape. In addition, insufficient evidence has been provided to justify a special need for a dwelling in this location.

2.

The proposed development is on land designated as the Isle of Axholme Area of Special Historic Landscape and if permitted would represent unnecessary and inappropriate encroachment into this area, thereby adversely affecting its historic character, appearance and setting. It is therefore considered contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, policies CS5 and CS6 of the Core Strategy and policies LC14, LC7, RD2 and DS1 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan.

                                                                                                Motion Carried.

The applicant thanked the committee for considering the application, and urged them to approve the proposal based on the officer’s recomemndations.

Cllr Poole spoke as the local Ward Member seeking clarifiction from the Planning officer that the footprint of the proposal was that of the exisiting dwelling, and this was confirmed.

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