Members received an application to Remove or Vary a condition –Section 73 application to vary condition no. 2 (approved plans) as previously imposed on planning permission reference N/084/00126/23 for the erection of 4no. dwellings at Manor Farm, Skegness Road, Hogsthorpe, Skegness, PE24 5NR.

The application was subject to a call-in request by Councillor Roger Dawson due to the impact of the raising of the land on the amenity of the neighbours in relation to possible overlooking and loss of privacy. Also, the need for landscaping and impact on flood risk.

The main planning issues were considered to be:

• The scope of the application
• Impact on neighbouring amenity and quality of development

Members were referred to the additional information contained on pages 1 to 2 of the Supplementary Agenda.  

Lindsey Stuart, Senior Planning Officer, detailed site and surroundings information to Members at Paragraph 2, together with the description of the proposal at Paragraph 3, pages 49 to 50 of the report refer.

Mr Phil Joyce (Agent) spoke in support of the application.

Mr Jonathan Daws spoke in objection to the application.

Members were referred to a letter sent in by Councillor Roger Dawson, pages 3 to 5 of the Supplementary Agenda refer.

Members were invited to put their questions to the speakers.

No questions were received.

Following which, the application was opened for debate. 

The Development Management Lead Officer advised Members that the application was similar to the previous application considered, to regularise the raising of the land levels.

Following which, the application was proposed for approval in line with officer recommendation.

-      In response to a Member’s query relating to the drainage details, the Development Management Lead Officer informed Members that the drainage for the whole site was considered and no objection was raised by the Lead Local Flood Authority (LLFA).

-      A Member queried why updates from LCC Highways, LLFA and Environmental Services (Drainage) had not been received, points 4.4 and 4.6 on page 51 of the report refers.

The Development Management Lead Officer advised that with regards to a response from the LLFA, it was a minor application with only 4 plots, so was unlikely to receive a response.  Members were referred to the earlier permission that related to the totality of the site, ie. 10 plots, and it was highlighted that the LLFA had raised no issue with that.  Therefore, it would achieve the same outcome as the previous Section 73 application for 10 plots which the Committee had already approved.

Following which, the application was seconded for approval in line with officer recommendation.

Upon being put to the vote for approval, the vote was carried.

Vote:         8 In favour            2 Against              1 Abstention
