S19/0443
Miss McCrae
Land Off Linchfield Road, Deeping St James
Erection of 76 dwellings (reserved matters pursuant to S17/2466 – landscaping, layout, appearance and scale –phase 1)
SKDC – Approves Reserved Matters
DSJPC - The proposal to place 76 dwellings on the eastern half of this development is an overdevelopment leading to the following constraints – In the original discussions with the parish council the developers promised to provide a parking space for each bedroom i.e. 2 parking spaces for 2-bedroom houses and so on.
This quantum of development does not allow for this and moreover constrains mostly tandem parking arrangements which are known to be problematic from other recent developments in the parish. This has resulted in chaotic on street parking, creating obstruction on important through routes and restricting access for emergency vehicles.
This number of dwellings also constrains the width of the proposed cycle paths running NE and SW to a mere 1.5m. The NS cycle path crosses the primary access to the development which has clear dangers. More-over the cycle path comes to a halt in the SE corner and no thought has been given to linking it up to existing cycle paths.
The proposed EW cycle / pedestrian footpath at a mere 2m wide, would appear inadequate for such joint usage.
Greater thought should be given to pedestrian access throughout the whole development.
A telegraph pole with ‘guide’ cables has now been located on the POS which reduces the size of what is already quite a small area.
There is nothing in the proposal whatsoever about the energy efficiency measures for example the use of solar panels, triple glazing and so on.
The ‘feature square’ in the centre of the development is a good idea but this particular proposal appears to be far too small to be of any relevance.
Finally the construction of the eastern part of this development must surely have negative impact on the future construction of the western sector at a later date.
For all of these reasons the parish council would wish to object to the proposed development.’
S19/0343
Carousel Nursery Ltd Land to the rear of 10 Bridge Street, Deeping St James
Proposed demolition of redundant abattoir buildings and erection of day nursery, formation of vehicle cross over on Park Road
SKDC – Grants Planning Permission
DSJPC - DSJPC have no objections in principle to a nursery in this location and accept that the 19th century abattoir is in a poor condition and could not economically be rebuilt. The paddock is designated in the conservation area as an important open space and this proposal would necessitate approx. 25% of this being lost. However, on the other hand this proposal would preserve the remaining 75% from future development.
It is noted that there now is pedestrian access from Bridge Street along the side of No 10 and that the other access further down Bridge Street, between No 16 and
No 18 is now vehicular only. The one way system from Bridge Street to Park Road along the driveway which would be gated and only unlocked during nursery opening times, does not allow for pedestrian access.
S19/1443
Mrs Copland 99 Horsegate, DSJ
Construction of a drop kerb
SKDC – Grants Planning Permission
DSJPC - It was Resolved to approve this application with no comments
S19/1023
Mr & Mrs Clarke Land off Back Lane, DSJ
Erection of Stables
SKDC – Grants Planning Permission
DSJPC - Resolved to approve
S19/1471
Mr Myson 82A Eastgate, DSJ
Erection of railings to flat balcony with Juliet balcony
SKDC – Grants Planning Permission
DSJPC - Approved under delegated powers
S19/1488
Mr Pragliola Land to the rear of 81 Church Street, DSJ
Demolition of garage and erection of single dwelling
DSJPC – Recommend to full council that the following comments be submitted – The parish council objected to the previous application S17/0752 on the grounds of inappropriate back land development in the conservation area along with the shared access on a sharp, blind bend posing a considerable traffic hazard.
Our objection to this application would remain that of inappropriate back land development in the conservation area, but the potential traffic hazard situation has, in the meantime, increased. The former unused commercial site diametrically opposite (Broadgate House), is now being redeveloped with six residential dwellings. The access point will be close to the Waterton Arms, exiting left. The additional traffic flow will exacerbate the known problems on a sharp blind bend where there have been numerous minor accidents.
