Prior to consideration of this application, an objector addressed the committee in accordance with the provisions of Procedure Rule 35 (e).

Resolved – That consideration of this application be deferred at the request of the applicant.

(iii) 04/0298 by Mr A Riggall for outline permission for five dwellings on land south of Wayside Ferry Road, Barrow Haven, Barrow–upon–Humber.

Prior to consideration of this application, the applicant and an objector addressed the committee in accordance with the provisions of Procedure Rule 35 (e).

The objector was concerned that the application was inappropriate in a rural hamlet and would cause road safety problems as it would add three accesses to Wayside Ferry Road. It stated that the development would make it impossible to clean out the beck.

The applicant referred to a permission granted on the site in 1993. He stated that he had carried out works required by the NRA. There was a local demand for housing which this proposal would help to meet.

The Head of Planning and Regeneration advised that the earlier permission on the site predated the adoption of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan in which the site was defined as open countryside. There were no reasons why the application should be considered as a departure from the plan.

Resolved – That permission be refused in accordance with the recommendation.

(iv) 04/0357 by OCA Ltd for consent to fell a Lime tree in group A1 of Tree Preservation (Messingham) Order 1955

Resolved – That consideration of this application be deferred until the next meeting and that members visit the site prior to that meeting.

Prior to consideration of this application, an objector addressed the committee in accordance with the provisions of Procedure Rule 35 (e). He was opposed to the application on the grounds of access, safety, drainage and the effect on wildlife. The proposal was opposed by the parish council and was not in accordance with the village plan.

The Head of Planning and Regeneration stated that the objections were dealt with fully in the report. The site was “brownfield”. The key issues were access and the relation of the site to the village. He had had further discussions with the Highways Team who had now requested an additional condition requiring access to be taken via Mount Royale Close.

Resolved – That consideration of this application be deferred until the next meeting and that members visit the site prior to that meeting.
