Change of use for parking of coaches. Construction of workshop for maintenance of coaches. Installation of 2 no. modular units to house toilets and office relating to workshop.

(Ward: Ryhall & Casterton; Parish: Essendine)

Mr Johnson, Development Manager for the council, addressed the Committee and gave an executive summary of the application, recommending approval.

During discussion the following points were noted:

      i.        It was questioned why the west access of the site could not be used by the coaches. The west access was too narrow to allow for two commercial vehicles to pass clear of the highway and the road couldn’t be widened.

    ii.        The Committee did not have a legal power to impose a one way system on the access roads.

   iii.        Mr Howat, Senior Environmental Health Officer for the Council stated that the dioxide and noise levels from the coaches would not make a significant impact.

   iv.        The developer had control over the access road where there were houses. It would be for the developer to place private enforcement to ensure cars did not park on the access road.

RESOLVED

2019/0628/FUL in accordance with the recommendation set out within Report No. 32/2020, that the application be APPROVED.
