Emergency Powers Provisions for Planning Committee pdf icon PDF 107 KB

On 22nd April 2020 Cabinet, in consultation with opposition leaders, agreed to adopt temporary emergency measures for executive and certain non-executive decisions to be delegated to officers using emergency powers that were invoked due to the Chief Executive declaring a major incident in Wyre.

 

The attached report shows the steps that will be followed for decisions that would have normally been taken by the Planning Committee.

Minutes:

Members of the meeting noted the emergency provisions relating to issues normally reserved for the Planning Committee and wished to pass on their desire to keep the democratic process of decision making open during these unprecedented times.

 

All agreed that keeping the process as similar as possible to the normal procedure for the Planning Committee was the correct way to deal with decisions taken under the emergency provisions, invoked by an emergency being declared in Wyre, as agreed by Cabinet. This included keeping the ability for members of the public to send in their views on an application.

Application C- 14 Garratt Close, Poulton-Le-Fylde, Lancashire, FY6 7XG (19/01232/FUL) pdf icon PDF 93 KB

Single storey rear extension, two-storey side extension and conversion of garage into a garden room.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The application was brought to this meeting for determination at the request of Councillor Le Marinel.

 

Councillors Moon and Ballard visited the site to enable them to better understand the proposal beyond the plans submitted and the photos taken by the Case Officer.

 

An update sheet with additional information was published on the council’s website and made available at the meeting, this information had only become available after the original agenda was published. Attendees considered the update sheet which included a revision to conditions 2.

 

One member of the public sent in an objection to the application. Their views were considered by the councillors and officers.

 

It was noted that the Council's Supplementary Planning Document 'Extending your Home', mentioned at 9.3, should have also been listed under 5.3.3 of the main report.

 

Councillors Ballard and Moon considered the application and discussed their views with the officers. They also took into account the views of the member of the public. Both spoke of concerns regarding the fact that the application was non-compliant with adopted WLP31 policy CDMP3 and the loss of a parking.

 

The Chief Executive took on board all points raised. He decided that the application be refused (contrary to the recommendation) under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. His reasoning was that the height, size and massing of the two-storey side extension would, by reason of its close proximity to no. 11 Moorland Gardens, have an overbearing and obtrusive impact upon this neighbouring property to the detriment of the amenity of the occupiers of this property. As such the proposed development will conflict with the provisions of policy CDMP3 of the Adopted Wyre Local Plan 2011-31, which seeks high standards of design for all development and an acceptable impact on the amenity of occupants of neighbouring properties, and with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
