PL/7/7/19
To consider and respond to street names application SN/19/0105 – Land at 68 Horncastle Road. First choice Maple Grove, second choice Juniper Court, third choice Rowan Way.
The Council chose the street name Juniper Court as Maple Grove could easily get confused with Maple Avenue or grove Drive.
PL/8/7/19
To consider the notification regarding the McCarthy & Stone application S/215/00195/18 going before ELDC Planning Committee on 4th July 2019 and resolve whether to give notice of intention to speak at the meeting.
The Council chose not to send representation to the Planning Committee. The Council resolved at a previous meeting to support the amended application with the only comments that the development was large and close to the roadside.
PL/9/7/19
To consider and respond to planning application S/215/00980/19 – Oakfield, The Broadway. Rear single storey extension to existing dwelling on the site of an existing sun lounge which is to be removed.
It was proposed, seconded and unanimously resolved to support this application.
PL/10/7/19
To consider and respond to planning application S/215/01024/19 – 198 Witham Road. Extension and alteration to existing petrol station and garage to provide an enlarged shop, American diner and enclosed car wash on part of existing stores which are to be demolished.
The Council could not make a decision based on the information contained in the application as it was unsure if a change of use application needed to be or had been submitted to introduce an American style diner. There were questions whether the amount of parking bays were sufficient for the size of the diner and it wasn’t clear if the petrol station would continue to offer a petrol station service as part of the development.
PL/11/7/19
To consider and respond to planning application S/215/00066/19 – Land rear of 101 Witham Road. Application to vary condition nos. 2, 5, 10 and 13.
It was proposed, seconded and unanimously resolved to object to vary conditions set out in the original planning permission.
The Council stood by their original decision and felt the value of a cycle path to the community did not out way the removal of the conditions.
The Council were amenable to discussions for community benefit. This would be included in the official response to ELDC.
PL/12/7/19
To consider and respond to planning application S/215/00950/19 – Land adjoining The Grove, Iddesleigh Road. Erection of a detached dormer bungalow and construction of vehicular access.
It was proposed, seconded and unanimously resolved to object to this application.
The introduction of a bungalow in the conservation area is not compatible with the neighbouring properties which are 2 storey dwellings. The Council also have a policy which does not agree with developments in the back yard.
PL/13/7/19
