Land around Sherbrook House and Millway Foods, Colston Lane, Harby Minutes: Applicant: Croft
Developments Limited Location: Land around
Sherbrook House and Millway Foods, Colston Lane, Harby Proposal: Outline
application for the erection of 50 dwellings with associated access,
landscaping and infrastructure. a) The Head of Regulatory Services stated that: Deferred to
allow the education position to be clarified. In response, the Local Education
Authority has re-assessed the information which it provided on 5th June 2017
and which was reported to committee on 15th June 2017. It advises that there is
a requirement for a developer contribution to increase capacity at Harby
Primary School. This advises now takes account of the permission granted on
appeal for housing on the adjacent Millway Foods
site, which was not included in their previous assessment. A contribution for the
Primary School sector of £145,188.12, to which the applicant agrees. Cllr Rhodes has written asking that his position is conveyed
as follows: “I accept that Harby will have to accommodate a growth of housing totalling 98 new houses over the course of the emerging Local Plan period to 2036. This application according to my calculations brings the number up to 136 – 38 more than needed. If the Committee is minded to approve the application, the number of houses permitted should be restricted to 12.” The Head of Regulatory Services commented that the decision
taken on the LP on Tuesday revise the figure in Harby to 78, of which the Millway Foods site satisfies 53 and the neighbouring Boyers Orchard site a further 15. However he reminded the Committee
that, even after Tuesdays progress, the Plan is far from settled and we cannot
rely on its content for decisions. This site for a greater number of houses (61
vs 50) than is allocated in the Plan. We are in the hands of the NPPF as
described on page 15 and the conclusion of this report. Unfortunately Cllr
Rhodes limitation could not be achieved by condition as it would be taking away
the greater part of what we would be granting. If Members consider the number
too large, refusal would be the way forwards. A further comment from the NP group seeking clarification of
the requirements of Condition 11 – i.e. does it require improvement all the way
to the junction with Main Street (as did the Millway
Foods permission), and suggests an alternative offering greater clarity: “…the existing footway which extends to Main Street shall be
improved in accordance with the in principle scheme shown on drawing
number: HBY-BWBGEN- XX-DR-TR-102_p2. The scheme shall include the widening of the footway to 2
metres or the maximum available within the limits of the highway, and a
suitable crossing point for all users where the footway changes from one side
of the carriageway to the other. All details of the footway construction shall
be in accordance with CHA standards.” The Head of Regulatory Services displayed a plan of the area showing the extent of the footpath improvement proposed, which would be secured by the condition in the report, enabling it ... view the full minutes text for item PL19.1 |

17/00327/FULHH & 17/00328/LBC 20A Water Lane, Frisby on the Wreake Minutes: Applicant: Mr E
Hutchison Location: The Tithe
Barn, 20A Water Lane, Frisby on the Wreake Proposal: Erection of
a timber garage a) The Head of Regulatory Services stated that: There are no updates to the report. Cllr Chandler proposed to permit the application. Cllr Wyatt seconded
the proposal and commented that it it’s the tidiest building site he had ever
seen. A vote was taken and the Members voted unanimously to permit. DETERMINATION: PERMIT
both applications in accordance with the recommendations in
the report, for the following reasons: The proposed garage
building is of traditional construction and design based on a traditional oak
frame with a pantiled roof. As such it respects
the host listed dwelling and its conservation area location. The garage is a
building which adds to the residential enjoyment of the host dwelling and is
solely related to it. It will be set back from Water Lane and that will reduce
its visual impact in relation to both the grade II listed buildings in the
vicinity and the street scene in general. The revisions to
increase the ridge height and the provision of dormer windows do not
significantly impact on the outcome of the original application that was
approved in 2014. Cllr Hutchinson returned to the meeting at 6.19pm |

The Head Of Regulatory Services To Submit A Report Considering Representations Received Regarding The Proposed Direction.

Cllr Wyatt seconded the proposal. A vote was taken and the Members voted unanimously to permit. DETERMNATION: to
apply the use of an Article 4 Direction removing the ‘permitted
development rights’ of specified buildings at the Melton Mowbray Hospital site for any
building operation consisting of the demolition of a building (details
depicted in APPENDIX 1) |
