Decision:-

 

To determine applications, or make observations, as listed below:-

 

PJM1

 

Application ref:        S12/2727

 

Description:             Demolition of Dutch Barn and Nissen Hut, conversion of former barn to 2 dwellings, erection of 3 bay detached garage and erection of detached dwelling.

 

Location:                 Oak Farm Barns, church Street, Harlaxton, Grantham,NG32 1HB

 

Decision:                 Refused

 

Noting comments made during the public speaking session from:-

 

                    Councillor Carol Harris – Chairman of Harlaxton Parish Council

                    Nigel Lee – supporting

 

(1.25pm – Councillor Morgan entered the meeting).

 

                    Mike Sibthorp – agent on behalf of the applicant

 

together with no objection from Planning Policy, Highway Authority, Environmental Health, Natural England, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust or Upper Witham Internal Drainage Board, comments from Lincolnshire Heritage, objections from the Parish Council, objections from the Conservation Officer and representations from nearby residents; late information report emailed to all Members before the meeting,  including additional correspondence from the Parish Council,  further letter from the agent in support, report of site inspection and comments made by Members at the meeting.

 

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

 

The application site is located within the historic core of the Harlaxton Conservation Area and comprises a group of redundant farm buildings, some traditional and of late C18/early C19 construction and others dating from the mid C20.

 

Two unsightly twentieth century structures on the front/eastern part of the site, a Dutch barn and a Nissen hut, are to be removed and replaced with a detached dwelling. The Dutch barn and Nissen hut are modern, unsympathetic structures and their removal would represent an enhancement of the scene on this important approach to the parish church and restore the openness of the site frontage.

 

It is considered that the principle of development in this location where there is no evidence of any previous building/s prior to the mid-twentieth century Nissen hut and Dutch barn being erected and where the openness of this part of the site is importantto the character of street scene in this part of the conservation area, being the principal approach to the parish church would neither conserve or enhance the character of the conservation area. Furthermore it is considered that the erection of a new dwelling on this site would have an adverse impact on the setting of the nearby listed buildings.

 

Accordingly the proposal is considered to be contrary to sections 7 (Requiring good design), 11 (Conserving and enhancing the natural environment) and 12 (Conserving and enhancing the historic environment) of the National Planning Policy Framework and policy EN1 of the South Kesteven Core Strategy

 

 

LDPP1

It was proposed that the application be approved, subject to a number of amended conditions, which were read to the Committee by the proposer.  This proposition was seconded, subject to proposed condition 4 (in relation to reversing alarms) being amended by the deletion of the words “not cause a nuisance” and the substitution of the words “be disabled”.  This amendment was accepted by the proposer.

 

Members commented on the poor arrangement of the loading bay at the store, and it was agreed that the Development Management Service Manager would write to the owners asking them to seriously consider improvements.

 

It was further suggested that in order to reduce the likelihood of complaints about noise in the yard that proposed condition 3 be amended to restrict the movement of pallets or pallet trucks as well as product cages between certain hours.  This was accepted by the proposer and seconder.

 

On being put to the vote the proposition as amended was agreed, and the application was approved, subject to the following conditions:-
