Report No. 158/2020 was received from the Strategic Director for Places.

 

Item 1 – 2019/0736/FUL – St George’s Barracks, North Luffenham Road, Edith Weston

 

(Parish: Edith Weston; Ward: Normanton)

 

Mr Darren Burbeary, Senior Planning Officer for the Council, addressed the Committee and gave an executive summary of the application, recommending approval.

 

Mr Collins, speaking as a member of the public against the application, addressed the Committee.

 

During questions to Mr Collins from the Committee, the following points were noted:

 

  1. Mr Collins stated that the proposal would have a significant impact on the local ecology and wildlife if approved without further planning conditions.
  2. It was not known whether a Leicestershire Ecologist had done a site visit regarding the application.

 

Mr Coe, speaking as a representative of Edith Weston Parish Council, addressed the Committee.

 

During questions to Mr Coe from the Committee, the following point was noted:

 

  • Mr Coe felt that there should be a condition placed to limit the number of vehicles moving to and from the site otherwise there would be no traffic movement limit.

 

Mr Burrows, speaking as a representative of North Luffenham Parish Council, addressed the Committee.

 

During questions to Mr Burrows from the Committee, the following point was noted:

 

  • The Committee noted that policy CS6 Re-use of redundant military bases and prisons stated that a development should not lead to undue disturbance to nearby local communities through traffic, noise, aircraft activity or other uses. With the number of complaints from the communities of Edith Weston and Manton regarding the disturbance to their communities it was felt that the development was causing a disturbance to the nearby local communities.

 

Mr Mullin, speaking as the agent representing the applicant, addressed the Committee.

 

During questions to Mr Mullin from the Committee, the following points were noted:

 

  1. Security footage would be available if there was a security breach on site.
  2. There was no pre-planning engagement. The application was retrospective, the lease was agreed and activities commenced without planning permission. The applicant accepted responsibility for not engaging with the local community.
  3. When stock is left on the site, the condition of it would be monitored by the applicant company during the time it is on the site. Before a vehicle leaves the site, the condition of it would be assessed.
  4. Mr Mullin stated that efforts had been made within the operational plan to ensure there was a complaints and disciplinary procedure in relation to the site.

 

Miss Waller and Mr Bool, Ward Members for Normanton, addressed the Committee.
