5.      PLANNING APPLICATIONS

 

Report No. 150/2020 was received from the Strategic Director for Places

 

Item 1 - 2020/0142/FUL Demolition of the existing Ram Jam Inn and redevelopment of the site to provide three drive-thru units (Use Class A3/A5) and one drive-to unit (Use Class A1/A3) with associated parking and landscaping

 

Mr Justin Johnson, Development Manager for the Council, addressed the Committee and gave an executive summary of the application, recommending approval. It was noted that a previous Planning Application Ref: 2018/0539/FUL for the demolition of the existing Ram Jam Inn and redevelopment of the site, the application was refused at a previous planning committee the decision of which was appended to the report.

Mr Baker spoke on the application and raised the following points:

Would there be an extension to the provision of cycle ways and footpaths and would it be subject to s106 monies. Litter management scheme.

Mr Hodgson spoke on behalf of Greetham Parish Council and raised concerns that local residents would not want to lose access to the petrol station and shop as it was a valued local amenity. He was concerned that the new road layout appeared to prevent access to the forecourt from the B668.

Members of the Committee discussed the application and raised the following concerns:

Local residents may not have been made aware of the loss of access to the forecourt from the B668.

The lack of information about the loss of access makes the original consultation inaccurate as there may have been more objections had residents been made aware of this.

Parishes would look to reject this if they had been made aware that the approval would not allow for a two-way access plan to the petrol forecourt.

Was there adequate signage at the filling site for HGVs 

Mr Cornes addressed the Committee and spoke in favour of the application. A lot of adaptions had been made and substantial change made to the proposed development of the site from the previous application and was now technically compliant and ready for approval.

Councillor Begy proposed that the application be deferred to reconsider the two-way access to the petrol forecourt from the A1 and the B668.

A recorded vote was taken and the votes cast were as follows:

Item 2 2020/0891/FUL Barrowden Parish Council, Barrowden Village Hall, Wakerley Road, Barrowden

 

Mr Justin Johnson, Development Manager for the Council, addressed the Committee and gave an executive summary of the application, recommending approval. It was noted an additional condition had been added that a management plan be used if used by more than 60 people for any additional functions. This would assist in ensuring that parking would not cause a problem on highways or block emergency vehicles. He further noted that the proposal was a semi- contemporary design  ...  view the full minutes text for item 5.
