19-21.5 To consider the following Planning Applications:
Planning Applications:
21/1903 – 21 Capito Drive, NH – Erection of a conservatory to the rear of the property
It was RESOLVED that the Committee object to this application because the conservatory is too large, it covers over main drainage, it impacts on the neighbours as it restricts their natural light and the CLLP states that you cannot make living conditions worse for neighbours, the side wall is 2m high, which is higher than the fence.
21/1992 – 11 Russell Avenue, NH – single storey front and rear extensions
It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections
21/1971 – 37 Belton Park Drive, NH – Erection of first floor side extension
It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections
22/007 – Land at 104 Mill Lane, NH – Outline application for erection of a 2 storey dwelling with access for consideration (resubmission of 21/1435/OUT)
It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections in principle, but support the Tree Officers comments.
22/0016 Hall Farm, 22 Meadow Lane, SH – Erection of 2 storey rear extension
Cllr Philips declared an interest and took no part in the discussions or resolution.
It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections
PL/0179/21 – South Hykeham County Primary School, Wath Lane, SH – For a proposed new carpark to provide 28 parking spaces plus 2 DDA spaces for staff and visitor use.
Cllr Philips declared an interest and took no part in the discussions or resolution.
It was RESOLVED that the Committee object to this because the area is designated in the CLLP and the Hykeham Neighbourhood plan as an “Important Open Space” and the NPPF states that local policy for managing development within a Local Green Space should be consistent with policy for Green belts so approval can only be given in very special circumstances.
21/1993 – 121 Mill Lane, NH – Erection of 2no. 1.5 storey “eco-homes”
It was RESOLVED that the Committee have no objection in principle but support the Tree Officer’s comments and the need for an arboricultural statement.
Prior Notification Householder Development
22/0121 – 17 Bracken Court, SH – single storey rear extension 4.81m in length from the original wall, eaves height of 2.85m and maximum of 3.0m
It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections
Amended Plans
21/1786 – 10 Medway Crescent, NH – Increase in roof height to allow for loft conversion – Amended plans received
It was RESOLVED that the Committee object to this application because it is out of sync with the street scene. The estate was originally designed as a low level estate.
19-21.6 Decisions received and correspondence
There were no decisions received
19-21.7 Review of Hykeham Planning Committee Terms of Reference
At the North Hykeham Town Council meeting on 27th January 2022 is was resolved to change the frequency of the Planning Meetings from 2 weekly to 3 weekly. This was considered by the committee and concerns were raised about whether this would allow for plans to be considered in a timely manner. The Clerk advised that generally there is sufficient time allowed on the applications received and if there is an issue, then a request can be made for an extension.
It was RESOLVED that the frequency of meetings be changed from 2 weeks to 3 weeks from the start of the new council year, and that this would be reviewed after a period of 3 months.
The meeting closed at 7.40pm.
