Minutes: (d) LINDSEY Application No. B/16/00955/FUL Paper PL/17/4 – Item 4
The Case Officer presented the updated application to the committee outlining how the proposed tower on the dwelling had been shortened by 1.26m and that the report had been updated on pages 73-75 of PL/17/4.
Clive Arthey, Chair of Lindsey Parish Council, spoke in support of the application noting the innovative design of the application and the way that the design integrates into the natural landscape. In addition to this he spoke on how the Parish Council did not have concerns over the height of the tower and that they support this proposal. Members questioned what would justify the property being built in the countryside to which Clive Arthey replied that on balance the benefit outweighed the harm and that there would be no impact on the heritage asset
Craig Beech, Agent, outlined how the impact of the proposed site would be minimal on the local landscape and respects the local constructions and that the site would significantly enhance the wildlife in the area with a large amount of planting proposals included in the application.
The agent responded to questions from Members on the proposed tower as well as the construction materials that would be used as well as what the public benefit would be if granted permission.
Bryn Hurren, Ward Member, said that this proposal would allow a family business to continue and that the development would allow a large benefit to the area through employment and supporting the local school and that there were no heritage concerns.
Members debated the proposal raising concerns over the tower and its appropriateness to the surroundings as well as how the design would promote local distinctiveness and that the environmental design of the property should be encouraged.
Councillor Kathryn Grandon proposed that the application should be refused as per the Officer recommendation and was seconded by Councillor Stephen Plumb. A vote for the motion was taken and was lost.
Councillor Derek Davis proposed that the application be approved against the Officers recommendation on the grounds of CS12, CS13, CS14, CS15 and NPPF 55 and because there was less than significant harm to the heritage assets. The motion was seconded by Councillor Peter Beer and was carried on being put to a vote.
RESOLVED
That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions of:
· Approved Plans · Timetable for build out · Landscaping plan and timetable · Ecological Mitigation
