Application 21/00834/FUL PDF 318 KB Meadow Cottage, 37 New Road, Burton Lazars Additional documents: Minutes:
(Councillor Holmes
entered the meeting at 6.06 pm.) The Planning Officer (HW) addressed the Committee and provided a summary of the application and advised the application was recommended for approval subject to conditions. Pursuant to Chapter 2, Part 9, Paragraphs 2.8-2.28 of the Council’s Constitution in relation to public speaking at Planning Committee, the Chair allowed the following to give a 3 minute presentation: ·
Cllr Tim Blewett, Burton and Dalby Parish
Council Cllr Blewett responded to Member questions as follows: Additional screening would offer privacy to the garden area and the Old School House
·
Wayne Hickling ·
Chris Jesson, Agent, Planning and Design Group Mr Jesson responded to Member questions as follows: The hedge at the front of the property would be retained ·
Councillor Robert
Child, Ward Councillor Councillor Child was not in attendance and the Chair read out his representation The Planning Officer (HW)
confirmed there was already a landscaping condition which allowed for screen

condition on screening as this would not meet the tests associated with the

Council and Ward Councillor and although the Parish Council preferred a single
storey property, the 2020 survey results did not have the same majority outcome
and neighbouring properties were two storey therefore
it was not felt that there should be a deviation from the Planning Officer’s
recommendation ·
It was felt that
an additional condition for non-overbearing screening would be helpful to offer
privacy to the Old School House and the screening was requested to be of native
species Councillor Browne proposed that the application be approved with an additional condition for non-overbearing screening to offer privacy to the Old School House. Councillor Illingworth seconded the motion. RESOLVED That the application be APPROVED subject to conditions
set out in Appendix A with an additional condition for non-overbearing
screening to offer privacy to the Old School House. (Unanimous) REASONS Appendix B contains the Committee report considered at the 3 February 2022 meeting of the Planning Committee and is included to provide information on the other material planning considerations, issues and representations raised in respect of this application separate from how the scheme has been re-designed to address the Parish Council’s concerns and concerns of the neighbouring residents.
