Applications for the Committee’s consideration:-
The following applications were submitted for the Committee’s consideration:
Application No 91783 – 56 High Street
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted. Steps have been taken to ensure that the satellite dish and exterior air condensers would be as unobtrusive as possible.
Application No 91908 – Swan Green Cricket Club
Extension to cricket club pavilion
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted. The proposals are not obtrusive, are in keeping with the surrounding area and provide a valuable local amenity.
Application No 91919 – Rear of Forest Glen, Pikes Hill
New dwelling and detached double garage
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be refused. The proposals would have an unacceptable impact on the amenity of Homelands. The distance between the proposed new property and Osbourne is less than 22 metres. The proposals would change Westwood Road from a cul de sac to a through road. Westwood Road is already a congested road. Question whether this is a new building in the countryside and if so it is against policy. Question whether permission has been given or is needed for the new access. There are strong neighbour objections to this application.
Application No 91928 – The Oak Inn, Pinkney Lane, Bank
Extend the existing single storey section of the building to form an increased kitchen and upgraded toilet facilities. New extension to have pitched roof. Existing cellar to be converted to staff accommodation
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted. Concerns raised previously regarding changes to the character and appearance of the building have been addressed. No intensification of use would take place.
Application No 91936 – 26 Thatched Cottage Park
Retention of single-storey side extension to mobile home
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted but to recommend that the proposed decking be lowered and suitable screening provided to minimise the impact on neighbouring properties.
Application No 91970 – 60 High Street
Install external fire escape between 1st and 2nd floor. Remove small section of 1st floor roof to create walkway
RESOLVED: To accept the decision reached by the NF NPA’s officers under delegated powers but to recommend that materials in a sympathetic finish be used for the fire escape rather than galvanised steel.
Application No 91975 – 1 Foxlease Terrace
Erection of conservatory
RESOLVED: To recommend refusal but to accept the decision reached by the NF NPA’s officers under delegated powers. The proposals would set a precedent to a unique row of cottages and would change their character.
Application No 92003 – 6 Forest Gardens
Erection of two new chimneys
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted. The Parish Council is pleased to see the reinstatement of chimneys and regards the proposals as environmentally friendly.
Advertisement Consent application – The Oak, Bank
Replacement House name sign
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted but to accept the decision reached by the NF NPA’s officers under delegated powers. There is only a small difference between the proposals and the existing signage and the Parish Council is pleased to see that the word Fullers has been removed.
