Agenda item

The Chairman introduced the final application of the meeting, planning application 144360, for change of use of public house into 1no. dwelling including removal and replacement of existing extension, update front and rear windows, and install patio doors - resubmission of 142444 being variation of condition 2 of planning permission 143218 granted 12 August 2021 - amended windows and doors, at Marquis House, High Street, Waddingham, Gainsborough.

After a short presentation and with no updates to the report, the Chairman explained that there was one statement from Waddingham Parish to be read aloud by the Democratic Services Officer. The following statement was read.

“Waddingham Parish Council wish to make the following statement.”

The Parish believes that, as the building is in a prominent position at the entrance to the village, the windows and doors at the front of the building should be replaced with ones that reflect the heritage and character of the building. They should also give the maximum thermal and sound efficiency as possible.”

The Chairman thanked the Democratic Services Officer for reading the statement and invited comments from Members of the Committee.

Debate ensued, and observations were made about the design of the windows, with Members approving the usage commenting that the proposed windows do not lose the character of the building.

Members also felt that granting the application would not affect the nearby listed properties or the heritage. One Member expressed concerns about the submission from the conservation officer, and stated there was potential for confusion in the possible granting of the application due to the historic nature of the building.
