Minutes:

The Chairman introduced the next application, number 142247, application for conversion of barns to 1no. dwelling at Little London Farm, Little London, North Kelsey, Market Rasen. There were no updates and the Officer presented details of the application to the Committee.

 

The Chairman confirmed there was one registered speaker and invited Leanne Pogson, Agent, to return to the Chamber ot address the Committee. The following statement was made.

 

“As has been said this application is associated with a previous application and seeks for planning permission for the conversion of barns to a single dwelling. Again the site is located in built footprint of North Kelsey and comprise additional one and two storey pantile barns and of the more recent additions in the form of steel port and fibre sheet roof buildings, which will be removed as part of the proposal. The barns will be converted to a single dwelling with a single storey barn converted to a bedroom, the two storey barns are a full height living area. A garden courtyard will be created to the south with a rear garden area to the north. The buildings are considered to be non designated heritage assets and worthy of retention and renovation. The proposed conversions are sympathetic to historic buildings and appropriate materials will be used in the renovations.

 

Conversion of the barns to residential, will ensure the retention and enhancement of these traditional buildings to preserve and enhance the character of the area. Discussions were held with a Conservation Officer by the case officer to ensure that the most appropriate design was achieved to preserve this building. Leaving the building vacant would likely result in falling into disrepair and it would be not be economically viable to renovate the building for commercial purposes, meaning conversion would be the most appropriate use.

 

Careful consideration has been given to the conversions by removing out of character additions and renovating the barns to replicate the original buildings as far as possible. The barn is far enough away from existing dwellings, over 20 metres at the closest point, as not to cause any loss of privacy, overlooking or the loss of amenity to neighbouring properties. As per the previous application, the access to the site will be via the existing vehicle access off Cemetery Lane. Matters related to sustainability, employment and alternative uses are all the same for the previous application. And again, there are no technical objections which cannot be overcome by conditions. Thank you.”

 

The Chairman thanked the speaker and opened for comments from the Committee.

With no comments from Members, and having been proposed and seconded, on voting it was agreed that permission be GRANTED subject to the following conditions.
