Minutes:

*The Committee considered the under-mentioned applications in light of reports by the Development Management and Conservation Manager and resolved as follows:-

 

CHE/19/00073/FUL - HARD SURFACING WITH DRAINAGE AND STREET LIGHTING TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL 2165 SQ.M OF CAR PARKING AREA. REVISED PLANS RECEIVED 26.03.2019 WITH AMENDED LAYOUT AND SURFACING PLAN, AMENDED DRAINAGE AND TREE PROTECTION LAYOUT AND STATEMENT REGARDING USAGE AND TRAFFIC PATTERNS. ALTERATIONS PROPOSED TO THE MAIN BUILDING, INCLUDING AN ENTRANCE CANOPY, TWO NEW ENTRANCE DOORS AND CLADDING TO THE SOUTH WEST ELEVATION. REVISED LIGHTING PLAN RECEIVED 24.04.2019 AND 23.05.2019, REVISED LAYOUT AND SURFACING PLAN 29.05.2019 AND PROPOSED DRAINAGE LAYOUT 24.05.2019 AND ARBORICULTURAL REPORT REVISION A 28.05.2019 AT ST HUGH’S RC CHURCH, LITTLEMOOR, NEWBOLD, DERBYSHIRE S41 8QP

 

In accordance with Minute No. 299 (2001/2002) Mr Saxon (objector), Councillor Caulfield (ward member) and Fraser Andrews (applicant’s agent) addressed the meeting.

 

Councillor Caulfield left the meeting at this point and did not return.

 

That the officer recommendation not be upheld and the application be refused for the following reason:-

 

In the opinion of the local planning authority the proposed car parking area to the rear of the building is not sympathetic to the surrounding local residents. The parking spaces are too close to the boundary and will result in lights shining through the hedges, air pollution issues and general noise and disturbance issues to the neighbours amenity. The pole mounted lights would also be a nuisance to the neighbouring properties. The proposal is considered to be in conflict with the requirements of policy CS2 and CS18 of the Core Strategy 2011-2031 and the guidance as set out in the 2019 National Planning Policy Framework Chapter 12.
