This topic is to be brought to the June Planning and Transport Committee.
117.26 To receive and consider the following Planning Applications and put forward recommendations to the next Council Meeting, or make decisions in accordance with the Committee’s delegated powers:
S26/0247 | Erection of dwelling (Re-submission following S25/2022) | 21 Eastgate Deeping St James Lincolnshire PE6 8HH
DSJPC: Deeping St James Parish Council continue to object to this planning application as there appears to be no apparent change. The building proposed is still considered harmful to the character of the area.
We refer to the SK Case Officers previous comments, please see below:
Existing development along this side of Eastgate (between Nos 13 and 27), is generally arranged in a linear form, regularly spaced following a similar building line with dwellings fronting Eastgate with large rear gardens that back onto Back Lane. There are instances of back land development further along Eastgate but not immediately adjacent to application site.
Modestly sized dwellings would be only partially visible from Eastgate as they would sit to the rear of existing houses which from the highway, but they will still be very prominent. The development would be inconsistent with the general character and form of development in the locality, further eroding the overall character of this part of the village.
The new house will also be very visible from Back Lane, and will thereby be harmful to the rural character of Back Lane (Policy DNP12.3 identifies Back Lane's rural character).
The proposal is therefore considered to be out if keeping with the pattern of development in the area. It would be harmful to the character of the are due to it being out of keeping with the surrounding pattern of development and the design not making a positive contribution to local distinctiveness given the local context. It therefore conflict with Policy DE1 of the South Kesteven Local Plan, Policy 12.3 of the Deepings Neighbourhood Plan and NPPF Section 12.
S26/0625 | Reserved matters submission (appearance, landscaping, layout and scale) and associated infrastructure for the erection of 80 dwellings with access pursuant to outline permission S24/0617 | Land South of A15 West of Peterborough Road Market Deeping Lincolnshire PE6 8CQ
DSJPC: Deeping St James Parish Council support and welcome this planning application. The design layout is good, and we would welcome further information on highway works to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.
118.26 To receive an update from The Deepings Neighbourhood Plan.
