Minutes:


In accordance with the decisions 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. 

 

(i)  PA/2020/545 by Mrs Elizabeth Marrows for outline planning permission for the erection of up to 34 dwellings, following the demolition of existing dwelling and outbuildings (appearance, landscaping, layout and scale reserved for subsequent consideration) at land at 65 Marsh Lane, Barton-upon-Humber, DN18 5JD


The agent stated that a great deal of work had been carried out on the application in conjunction with all statutory bodies including Yorkshire Water and the Highways Agencies on all aspects to meet requirements.  He indicated further detailed information would then be submitted as the reserved matters stage.  He stated that the flood risk water would be managed properly, and development of this kind does take place in flood zones all the time.  On the highways issues he said that significant contributions would be made for improvements on Marsh Lane, and would lead to future benefits for the residents.

 

Councillors P and K Vickers as the local ward members urged the committee to refuse the application after receiving numerous objections to the application. They had concerns about the flood risk in the area and associated problems on Marsh Lane, as they felt it was a very difficult area and could not be improved as it was a very narrow lane.  It would cause increased traffic problems and felt it was against a number of planning policies.

 

Cllr Evison stated he had severe problems with the application. He stated he knew the area very well and it was a narrow lane that would be difficult to expand.  He said it was a flood risk area that had flooded, and was not suitable for the proposed development.  He quoted a number of planning policies that it was contrary to, and felt there was more suitable areas available in Barton to develop on.

 

Cllr J Davison after visiting the site agreed with the previous speaker and was astounded by the narrowness of the lane, and felt it was more like a farmer’s dirt track than a road, he also had concerns that the football entrance was also down there and would lead to even more traffic problems.


Cllr L Foster having visited the site and listened to the comments from the local ward members, who he believes had the in depth knowledge of the area was minded to agree due to the flood risk was an unsuitable development for the area.  However, he did not agree with the highway concerns as he did not see it affecting the access and egress, and felt residents would when built park their vehicles on their own drives.

 

It was moved by Cllr Evison and seconded by Cllr J Davison –

 

That planning permission be refused for the following reasons –

Minutes:


The Group Manager – Development Management submitted a report containing details of major applications for determination by the committee, including summaries of policy context, representations arising from consultation and publicity and assessment of the applications.

 

(i)   PA/2020/1333 by Mr W Foster-Thornton for outline planning permission to erect up to 144 dwellings with appearance, landscaping, layout and scale reserved for subsequent consideration at Land off Burringham Road, Ashby Parklands, Scunthorpe.

 

The agent for the development stated the development outlined would benefit the wider community, and had developed the application working with Lindsey Lodge Hospice who was the neighbouring property.  She stated it was infill development within the limits of the local plan.

 

Cllr Walshe as the local ward member had concerns with the application around drainage and highways, and asked the committee to amend conditions 22 and 23 if approved to agree foul water management and the highway issues.

 

The Group Manager Development Manager and Building Control indicated that the conditions for the water management could be amended but the condition for the highways would have to be sorted through the Section 106 agreement with the applicant.

 

Cllr Evison agreed with the previous speakers and moved to grant permission with the amendment to the condition.

 

Resolved That planning permission be granted in accordance with the recommendations contained within the officers report, with amendment to the following condition:

 

No development shall take place until a scheme for the disposal of foul water has been agreed in writing by the local planning authority and none of the dwellings shall be occupied until it is connected to the approved drainage system.

 

Reason

To ensure satisfactory drainage is provided in accordance with policy DS14 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan.

 

(ii)  PA/2019/1904 by Mr T Webster, WFW Developments Ltd for planning permission to erect 28 affordable dwellings with associated access and other works at Old Railway Sidings, A18 from Althorpe to Gunness, Althorpe, DN17 3HN

 

Cllr Briggs addressed the committee with regard to the application, and in doing so urged the committee to have a look at the site and access before making a decision.

 

Resolved – That the application be deferred to the next meeting to allow the committee to visit the site.


(iii)  PA/2020/248 by Partner Construction & Acis Group for planning permission to erect 20 dwellings comprising 10 rent to home buy, five shared ownership and five open market dwellings at land adjacent to the pumping station, Ings Lane, Hibaldstow.

 

Two objectors addressed the committee with their concerns to the proposed development. They indicted that a rural exception site should be driven by local need, and this was not the case in this application.  Hibaldstow already had its allocation of social housing, with a lot of ongoing development already approved for the area.  It would have a negative impact of the area, increased traffic on an already busy road, and possible drainage issues.

 

The agent referred to the application and highlighted it was a re-submission of  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2061.

An objector spoke on the application and had concerns with the application, particularly around possible smells that would be omitted from the site, increased traffic, and making the area busier for local residents.

 

The agent referred to the previous application that was present to committee the previous month that was for approval, and further information since had been presented raising concerns for the wildlife on site.  She highlighted the benefits of the proposal and tried to reassure the committee of any concerns raised.

 

Cllr Ogg as the local ward member also raised concerns with regard to the possible smells, smoke and additional traffic.

 

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

(v)  PA/2020/1365 by Mrs Rebecca Proctor for planning permission to replace all windows and external doors at Camasstraddan, 41 Main Street, Saxby All Saints, DN20 0QF.

 

Cllr C Sherwood addressed the committee as the local ward member, and in doing so urged the committee to take some sympathy with the application, and treat it on its own merits.  He stated that the officer’s report said the door could be UPVC but the windows had to be wood.  The cost  ...  view the full minutes text for item 2062.
