7.5 To consider the following:
Planning Applications:
21/1008 12 Thorpe Lane, SH – Outline application (all matters reserved) for the erection of up to 5no. dwellings, upgrading of the existing access and creation of a new access and garage for 12 Thorpe Lane
It was RESOLVED that the Committee objected to this application as they consider it to be over development of the site, there is insufficient parking, there is nowhere for the 20 bins to be stored, it will set a precedent of overdevelopment for the road, the access road is not very wide in places and two cars would not be able to pass and they are concerned that some of the trees have already been removed.
21/0784 1 Green Lane – Single storey front side and rear extension and porch
It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections to this application
21/1020 110 Dore Avenue – Erection of a 2 storey side extension
It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections to this application, but want to ensure that there is a root protection zone in place for the neighbouring tree, as raised by the Tree Officer.
21/0997 The Grain Store, Boundary Lane, SH – Proposed extension to existing agricultural storage units, to the side elevation fronting the highway (retrospective)
It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections to this application, although they were disappointed to see a retrospective application
21/1045 Land off Thorpe Lane, SH – Reserved matters application for the erection of 144no. dwellings and associated works with details of internal access road layout, appearance landscaping, layout & scale pursuant to outline permission 18/0760/OUT
It was RESOLVED that the Committee strongly object to this application as they do not think this should be considered before the new Hykeham Relief Road is completed, they are concerned that the infrastructure, doctors and schools are not in place, and as Lincolnshire Highways agrees, Newark Road is saturated with traffic already. They are concerned about the quality of life for Hykeham residents with another development of just houses, without adding any further facilities to the area. The Committee also wished to support the Tree Officer’s comments.
TPOs
21/1060/TPO 5 Buttercup Way – T1/T2 Oak – Crown lift to 3m above ground level, remove deadwood including removal of lower limbs shown in images; T3 Oak – Crown lift to 3m above ground level remove deadwood including removal lower limbs shown in images (but retaining lowest major branch), partial crown reduction of protruding branches in line with red line in images; T4 Oak – fell; T5 Oak – Crown lift to 5m above ground level, remove deadwood.

It was RESOLVED that the Committee object to the felling of T9 and T11 as hawthorns are very beneficial to wildlife and no reason has been stated on the form as to why they are being felled.
The tree officers recommendations are strongly required in this situation.
21/1049/TPO 50 Grandfield Way – T1 – T3 reduce lateral branches by 2m (approx. 6m to 4m)
