21/22-51 Planning: Planning Application S21/1387 11 High Street. Proposal Section 73 variation of details reserved by condition 2 Approved Plans and condition 5 boundary hedgerow of planning application s20/1216 (Erection of two 2 bedroomed bungalows and demolition of an existing bungalow and garage).
When the SKDC Enforcement Officer visited the site after complaints received regarding the height of the installed fencing not conforming with the permission received. He gave the developer the option to resubmit the application above.
The original application S20/1216 gave permission for a 0.9m high fence not the 1.8 m fence which has been erected.
Concerns Raised with regards to this fencing:
Aesthetic of the fence in its height and bulk on the street scene is not in keeping with the village.
Serious Highways Issues. Legal visual splay of the entrance on to the highway on to High Street does not comply with the Highways Act 1984 and the possible restriction of views when exiting The Avenue.
Practicality of planting a hedge so close to a narrow footpath which is only 1.2m at its widest and consequent Health and safety issues
Comments made: Planning Officers are inconsistent with the use of the Highways Act 1984 in their decision making processes.
Proposal : to object to this planning application using the concerns above.
Proposed :Cllr. Bavister, Seconded Cllr. King and unanimously agreed. - RESOLVED
Action: Cllr. Bavister to formulate a response for circulation via email before submission.
