S12/0510 – DEMOLITION OF EXISTING BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW APARTMENTS (EXTENSION OF TIMEFRAME) S08/0892, FORMER GRANTHAM TYRE AND AUTO, RYCROFT STREET, GRANTHAM

Decision:-

That further consideration be deferred to enable the Conservation Officer and other appropriate bodies to consider whether the property is a local heritage asset, and to report accordingly.

The Committee considered report PLA937 from the Development Management Service Manager, which was presented by the Head of Development and Growth.

The report was submitted to advise Members of the need for a revised legal agreement in relation to an application which had been submitted to extend the life of a previous planning application for the demolition of an old malt house building on Rycroft Street, Grantham, and its replacement with 38 apartments. The layout and scale of the proposal had been determined at outline stage. Members were advised of the detail of the site and its surroundings and the history of applications. The original application had been granted on appeal, with the Inspector’s relevant comments noted in full in the report.

Developer contributions had been required and there was a need to complete an appropriate Section 106 Agreement to accompany the application. It was not considered that there had been a significant change in circumstances since the previous application. An objection had been submitted by the nearby Dental Practice who was concerned that the Inspector’s comments in relation to car parking, which had been the major part of their previous objection, were no longer relevant. It was, however, considered that the proposal complied with all relevant policies.

Members queried whether an assessment had been made of the site’s industrial heritage, and it was proposed and seconded that consideration be deferred to enable the Conservation Officer and other appropriate bodies to consider whether the site and buildings was a heritage asset and to report accordingly. On being put to the vote the proposal was agreed.

(5pm – Councillors Ashberry and Mrs Brenda Sumner left the meeting).

S12/0613 – ERECTION OF 18 AFFORDABLE DWELLINGS, HIGHFIELD MEWS, GREAT GONERBY

Decision:-

That the approval of revised application S12/0613 be delegated to the Development Management Service Manager, after consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Committee, and subject to completion of an appropriate Section 106 Agreement.

The Committee considered report PLA938 from the Development Management Service Manager, which was presented by the Head of Development and Growth, in relation to a revised application for the development of 18 affordable dwellings at Highfield Mews, Great Gonerby. The original application had been approved in August 2011, and the current application sought to make a number of changes to the types of dwellings, which were listed in the report. The road layout and open space provision remained the same.

The report detailed the application site and surroundings and detailed the planning history of the site, as well as the Section 106 Heads of Terms and details of other consultations which had been undertaken and comments received. It was recommended that permission be granted, as the proposals complied with national and local planning policy.

It was accordingly proposed, seconded and agreed that the revised application be approved, subject to the completion of a Section 106 Agreement, and that authority be delegated to the Development Management Service Manager, in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman.

S12/0806 – SECTION 73 OF THE TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT TO VARY CONDITION 20 OF PLANNING PERMISSION S11/1501 TO ALLOW A MATERIAL AMENDMENT TO CARE HOME, SPRINGFIELD ROAD, GRANTHAM

Decision:-

That the determination of S12/0806 be delegated to the Development Management Service Manager, after consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Committee, subject to completion of an appropriate Section 106 Agreement.

The Head of Development and Growth presented report PLA939 from the Development Management Service Manager. He reminded Members that in March 2012, permission had been granted for a nursing and care home on land at Springfield Road, Grantham. The applicants had since requested certain minor alterations, which would have minimal effect on the site and its surroundings.

Details of the site and its history were set out in the report, as were details of the Section 106 Heads of Terms. It was considered that the proposals complied with national and local planning policies and that permission could be granted subject to the completion of an appropriate Section 106 Agreement to secure developer contributions.

It was accordingly proposed, seconded and agreed that the revised application be approved, subject to the completion of a Section 106 Agreement, and that authority be delegated to the Development Management Service Manager, in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman.
