MINUTES OF PLANNING MEETING HELD BY SOUTHWELL CIVIC SOCIETY ON THE 7TH JANUARY 2010 There were no declarations of Interest by Members in connection with the applications 1. 10 Handford Court, Southwell. Householder application for erection of single storey extension. Full Planning Application No.10/01719/FUL. Applicant: Mrs. Ursula Oxley Agent: Prem Design - Mr. Kamlesh Mistry We object to this planning application. To build a rear extension in this garden would be too intensive a use. These small terraced houses were built as affordable housing part of the original planning concept. 2. 24 The Ropewalk, Southwell. Change of use from workshop/store (B1/B8) to retail (A1). Full Planning Application No. 10/01686/FUL. Applicants: Gill Taylor & Sons Ltd. - Mr. Steve Gill Agent: Mr. Robert Cordell We have no objections to this application. 3. 9 Hillside Drive, Southwell. Householder application for a loft conversion and erection of a single storey extension. Full planning Application No.10/01674/FUL. Applicant: Mr. S. Perry Agent: Building & Design Service - Mr. Colin Birch 4. 4 Byron Gardens, Southwell. Householder application for the erection of a conservatory. Full Planning Application No.10/01650/FUL. Applicant: Ms Louise Stocks Agent: Michael Evans Development Planning - Mr. Michael Evans We object to this application. We need a full set of drawings to properly evaluate this application. A block plan is not sufficient. 5. Land adjacent to and rear of 49-57 Fiskerton Road, Southwell. Erection of a detached dwelling to be used as supported housing for six people. Full Planning Application No.10/01622/FUL. Applicant: Mr. Steve Shatwell Agent: Allan Joyce Architects - Mrs. Pat Akers We object to this planning application. The character of this part of Southwell is defined as much by the spaces between the buildings as by the buildings themselves. The proposal would result in the loss of a significant open space which contributes to the form, character and setting of both the town and Conservation Area. The cottages (one of which is a Listed Building) to the front of the application site, are in the Conservation Area and are defined in the Newark & Sherwood District Council’s Conservation Area Assessment as “Unlisted Buildings of Local Interest”. The proposed new building would be detrimental to the setting of these cottages and would be undesirable backland development. The access to the site is substandard and further use would be to the detriment to highway safety. There is medium to high potential for archaeological remains on the site relating to nearby crop marks. 6. Easthorpe Lodge, Easthorpe, Southwell. Conversion and refurbishment of existing outbuildings and new single storey extension to form a dwelling. Full Planning Application No.10/01530/FUL and Listed Building Consent 10/01531/LBC. Applicant: Mr. Matthew Robinson Agent: Wm Saunders Partnership We have no objections to these applications. 7. Southwell Auto Centre Limited, 23 Newark Road,Southwell. Demolition of existing car repair workshop and erection of four dwellings. Full Planning Application No.10/01602/FUL. Applicant: Mr. G. Asquith Agents: Clive Booth Chartered Architect Ltd. We object to this application. It would be too intense a use of the site. Also, the proposed development would be placed too far forward. The neighbouring properties, No. 21 Newark Road and the Hall, are sited further back from the road. 8. 17-19 King Street, Southwell. Part new and part retained shop front - all redecorated with new signage. Full Planning Application No.10/01577/FUL. Applicant: Boots Plc Agent: Mrs. Linda Pearson We object to this application. This building, Nos. 17 and 19, is shown as an “Unlisted building of Local Interest in the District Council’s Southwell Conservation Area Appraisal. The applicants propose that the fascia sign should be painted “Boots blue”. This would be far too garish and too dominant for the Conservation Area. A restrained colour would be more suitable. Policy C15 (Advertisements in Conservation Areas or on Listed Buildings): Where advertisement consent is necessary, this will not be granted in Conservation Areas or Listed Building Consent for: 1. Internal or external illumination of fascia signs or internal illumination of projecting box signs; 2. Signs which use excessively bright or intrusive colour schemes or highly reflective synthetic materials; 3. Excessively large or obtrusive signs; and. 4. High level signs, other than hanging signs, above normal fascia level, including blinds and canopies. It is proposed that a “green cross” hanging sign be illuminated. We should like to see this hanging sign removed from the proposals as being unnecessary clutter - a “green cross” is shown in the design of the fascia sign. We notice that acrylic is used for the logo and for the lettering and green cross on the fascia sign cross. Traditional materials only should be used in the Conservation Area Policy C18 (Use of Traditional Materials in Shop fronts) states: In Listed buildings and other buildings of character in Conservation Areas, planning permission will only be granted for new shop fronts which use traditional materials … 9. Gascoines, 1 Church Street, Southwell. Proposed opening times plaque to be positioned to outside wall. Listed Building Consent No.10/01536/LBC. Applicant: Ms Emma Gascoigne Agent: Mrs. Caroline Joyce We have no objections to this application providing the proposal complies with the Southwell Conservation Area Appraisal Policy C18 - Use of Traditional Materials in Shop fronts. 10. 8 Halloughton Road, Southwell. Householder application for a loft conversion and erection of a single storey extension. Full Planning Application No.10/0674/FUL. Applicant: Mr. S. Perry Agent: Building and Design Service - Mr. Colin Bitch We have no objections to this application. Betty M. Arundel Hon. Planning Secretary Southwell Civic Society
