S23/1014
Mrs R Fereday
Erection of two-storey side extension and single storey rear extension
31 Pawlett Close, Deeping St James, Lincolnshire, PE6 8HW,
App Type: Householder
DSJPC – Comment that there are no objections to the extension, however, would like to bring attention to the curtilage of the property in the red line, which appears to contradict the requirement to return the land which is not owned by the applicant.
Cllr Rose declared an interest in this Planning Application and did not participate.
S23/1041
Mr Neil Fretwell
Erection of 2-storey extension and internal remodelling
64 Eastgate, Deeping St James, Lincolnshire, PE6 8HJ,
App Type: Householder
DSJPC – Comment that there are no objections to the Planning Application, but would request that the proposal should include finishing off the property with a front parking area.
S23/1064
Mr J Shilling
External and internal alterations including insertion of new bi-fold doors at
ground floor
42 Church Street, Deeping St James, Lincolnshire, PE6 8HD,
Listed Building Consent
DSJPC – RECOMMENDED to Full Council to object to the external alterations of solar panels and bi-fold doors, on one of the oldest buildings in Deeping St James. The new doors, whilst located to the rear of the property, affect the structure and character of the building unacceptably. Smaller doors set below the frame of the present window headers would be more appropriate.
The solar panels will be mounted to obscure and possibly damage Collyweston roof tiles that have a very high heritage value – this value is not outweighed by the importance of generating renewable energy in this instance.
S23/1084
