1261 (11) APPLICATION DEFERRED FROM PREVIOUS MEETING – In accordance with the decision at the previous meeting, members had undertaken a site visit on the morning of the meeting. The Head of Planning submitted a report and updated it orally

(i) 10/0406 by MJH Engineering Ltd for the erection of a pair of semi-detached dwellings and detached domestic garages (re-submission of PA/2009/0825) on land at corner of Butts Road, Barton-upon-Humber.

Prior to consideration of this application the applicant addressed the committee. She stated that the proposal would improve the amenity of neighbours and remove road safety problems. The only objection put forward was on flood risk grounds. There was a site close by with a similar classification of flood risk for which permission had been granted. In response to questions from members the Head of Planning indicated that five of the ash trees the subject of a Tree Preservation Order were to be felled, the remaining five were to be pruned. The felling of any further trees would require a separate application.

Councillor Mrs Sidell, attending the meeting in accordance with Procedure Rule 1.37 (b), spoke on this application

Members felt that an exception should be made to the application of the sequential test in the interests of amenity.

Resolved – That permission be granted subject to conditions relating to highways access and visibility, a flood risk assessment and materials.

1262 (12) MAJOR PLANNING APPLICATION – The Head of Planning submitted a report incorporating a schedule containing details of major applications for determination by the committee including summaries of policy context, representations arising from consultation and publicity and assessment of the applications.

The objector was concerned that the development would be very close to a school and would constitute a road safety hazard. She was also concerned that the exact use proposed was unspecified..
