Description:                    Erection of classic car storage unit for domestic use

 

Location:                         The Old Rectory, Carlby Road, Greatford, Stamford, Lincolnshire, PE9 4PR

 

Decision:                        Refused

 

Noting comments from Heritage Lincolnshire and the Highway Authority, an objection from Greatford Parish Council, no objection from the Environment Agency or Ramblers Association, objections from nearby residents and late information report circulated to members at the meeting including supplmentary observations from Greatford Parish Council included in full in an appendix to the late report, together with comments made by members at the meeting.

 

It was proposed, seconded and agreed that the application be refused for the following reason:-

 

1.          In the opinion of the local planning authority the size and scale of the proposed building, which is to house 36 vehicles for the occupiers of the dwelling known as ‘The Rectory’, is considered to be of excessive size and scale more akin to a commercial structure rather than being of domestic proportions and its use is likely to be beyond that which could be considered to be ancillary to the enjoyment of the occupiers of the main dwellinghouse.

2.          The allowance of a building of this size and scale is likely to have a detrimental visual impact on both the setting of the listed building and this part of the Greatford Conservation Area.

It is therefore considered to be contrary to Planning Policy Statements 1 and 5 (PPS1 and PPS5), policy 27 of the East Midlands Regional Plan and policy EN1 of the South Kesteven Core Strategy (2010).

(As the meeting had lasted for 3 hours, in accordance with council prodecure rule 9, the committee voted for the meeting to continue).
