Item 14 & 15 were discussed together.

 

In introducing the report the Officer stated that the agent had been in touch to confirm that the applicant would be happy to discuss conditions on the detailed comments as follows:

·         Detailed window frames

·         Floor level – relaying of original floor once level changed

·         Retaining features in cellar and covering of walls.

 

In accordance with the Authority’s Standing Orders, the meeting voted to continue its business beyond three hours.

Members noted that some form of extension to the rear of the building, in keeping with the Georgian lean-to which is already in place, may be possible but this would require a new planning application as this would not be a minor change to the submitted plans.

 

The Officer recommendation for refusal was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be REFUSED for the following reason.

 

1.

The proposed development would harm the significance of Hall Cottage (Grade II listed), the setting of Further House (Grade II listed) and the designated Hathersage Conservation Area. In the absence of any public benefits which could outweigh the harm that has been identified it is therefore considered that approval of the proposals would be contrary to Core Strategy policy GSP3 and L3, Local Plan policies LC4, LC5, LC6 and LH4 and the National Planning Policy Framework.
