Minutes:
The Chairman introduced the first application of the evening, planning application number 142221, outline planning permission for three dwellings including demolition of existing commercial buildings - all matters reserved, on land adjacent to Little London Farm, Little London, North Kelsey, Market Rasen.
With no updates from the Planning Officer, the Chairman invited the registered speaker, Leanne Pogson, Agent for the Applicant, to address the Committee. The Agent made the following statement:
“Thank you and good evening. My name is Leanne Pogson and I'm the agent representing the applicants who are the executors of the estate of Mrs. Audrey Balderson. This application seeks outline permission for three dwellings including demolition of existing commercial buildings and has been recommended for approval by the case officer.
The site is located in a built footprint of North Kelsey and
comprises of two frame buildings which
are in a poor state of repair, an area of hardstanding is around
that building also. There are traditional brick buildings to the
west which are the subject of an
application for conversion to a dwelling which will be considered
by this committee after this application.
Access to the site will be by the existing vehicle access which also serves two residential dwellings
to the south of application site. This access leads onto Cemetery
Lane. As stated in the officer's report North
Kelsey has a growth level of up to 10% and will still support 13
new dwellings before this growth limit is met. The site is
within the built footprint of the settlement, is a brownfield site
and is therefore within the first category of land to be developed
on the land availability sequential test in policy LP4. There are
no technical objections to the application, with highways,
drainage, ecology and environmental health comments all being
considered to be acceptable, subject to
appropriate conditions. Any concerns regarding design and amenity
can be designed out at reserved matter stage.
Various objections have been received in relation to the
application which relates to job losses
and employment. I can confirm that following the death of the owner
of the site, the sole tenant of the site was given notice to leave.
Notice was served on the 19th of August 2020, which confirmed the
tenancy would end on the 22nd of February 2021. The notice was
served before the planning applications were submitted with the
hope that the planning applications would be determined soon after
the site became vacant. The tenancy was extended until June 2021,
due to the tenant having an operation. The site was vacated at the
end of June and still remains vacant. As
notice to vacate the site was given an advance of the application
being submitted, and the site being vacant, there are no jobs to be
lost by the proposal. The officer’s report goes into more
details regarding planning history and the businesses which have been advertised on the
site.
As outlined in the officer's report, the site would have potential to ... view the full minutes text for item 69
