Planning Applications:

22/0040 – 510 Newark Road, NH – Erection of a single storey rear extension with balustrade

It was RESOLVED that the Committee have no objections in principle, but would support the tree officers comments regarding the building process and would ask that some screening material is erected to prevent overlooking the neighbouring property

It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections

22/0050 – 5 Ferrous Way, NH – Erection of single storey rear extension

It was RESOLVED that the Committee had no objections

22/0043 – Land South of Whisby Road, Teal Park, NH - Reserved matters application (with details of access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale) for the erection of a builders’ merchant (sui generis) trade counter, class B8, E(g)iii and ancillary office use for the display, sale (trade/retail), distribution and storage of building materials, along with plant/tool hire and click and collect facility together with access formation and parking (pursuant to application 09/0633/OUT as varied by 18/0309/VARCON)

It was RESOLVED that the Committee object to this proposal in its current form and support the comments made by Economic Development regarding the aesthetic of the current proposal and suggest the site is redesigned to give a better street scene and landscaping to encourage further development and investment in the area.

22/0065 – 23 Belton Park Drive, NH – erection of single storey front and rear extension and first floor side extension

Proposed Communications installation for Cellnex at Birchwood TE, Whisby Road, Birchwood, Lincoln LN6 3QT

This was noted by the Committee

Amended Plans

21/1824 – 90 Mill Lane, NH – Proposed two storey dwelling and new access – Submission of tree survey

It was RESOLVED that the Committee still object to this application for the same reasons as before – the proposed building is very small, the access to the property is over council land, it is a two storey building being proposed next to a bungalow and this will become a very busy road when the new development on Cleveland Avenue comes on stream.
