            Y/121/19/PL – Demolition of existing dwelling & outbuildings & erection of 11 No. dwellings (net increase 10 units), access, landscaping & associated works, The Steddles, North End Road, Yapton

 

            The Planning Tea Leader presented this report, together with the officer’s written report update detailing:-

 

·         Results of the bat survey and resultant additional pre-commencement condition and informative

 

The Committee was advised that the existing dwelling was a non designated heritage asset.  However, its historical significance had been lost due to the addition of extensions granted over the years and external changes to its setting and, as such, there was no conflict with policy or the guidance in the NPPF (National Planning Policy Framework).  In addition, the application site was now surrounded by development.

 

In considering the matter, a view was expressed that the location was not sustainable and the loss of a non designated heritage asset was unacceptable.   The Group Head of Planning reminded Members that they had granted planning permission for a site immediately adjacent to this site so it would be extremely difficult to make an argument that that site was sustainable but this site was not.

 

Following further comments from Members relating to pathways; highways issues; and CIL contributions, the Committee

 

RESOLVED

 

That the application be approved as detailed in the report and the officer report update.
