7.22 TO CONSIDER PLANNING MATTERS AND RESOLVE ACCORDINGLY

Applications:

H21-1250-21 Ms A Trett Land West of East Rd, Tydd Gote

Proposed demolition of existing office and erection of 2 x 1 bed dwellings

Council has the following observations:

Council agrees with the Conservation Officers comment re materials and would like to reiterate the following: The applicant has indicated that UPVC windows and doors and concrete roof tiles will be used - this is unacceptable within

a Conservation Area setting, particularly in relation to development which would be so readily visible from

the public realm and is at odds with the character of surrounding development. The applicant should be

required to make use of vernacular materials, particularly via the use of timber windows and doors and

traditional roofing materials, in order to allow the proposal to respect the local character and setting

through the use of appropriate materials, as is a requirement of Policy 29 of the South East Lincolnshire

Local Plan (2019)

Council believe flooding may well become a problem if any further infill of the Shire Drain is allowed

especially as the drain runs under the main A1101.

At present the water seems to be held up by the infill which has been done to accommodate the carparking

for the previous development. Any further infill required for this development would just accelerate the

problem.

Under Clause 11 Flood Risk, on the application, the question Is your proposal within 20m of a watercourse?

the answer should be yes.

Plans need to show access to shower room.

H21-0051-22 Mr I Ashdown, Lords Barn, Common Way, TSM

Proposed photovoltaic panels on southern elevation of garage

Council supports this application provided it is within the remit for the conservation area

H21-0057-22 Mr & Mrs Hokise, Worlds End Rd, TSM
