Full Application - Conversion to a single dwelling at Safari Quip, The Stones, Castleton (NP/HPK/0324/0297, WE)

Minutes:

The Planning Officer presented the report and outlined the reasons for approval as set out in the report.

 

This building is a former shop which has been closed 6 years and the owner wishes to convert it to a two-bedroom market dwelling.  There is a small area land to either side.  The building is a mid-19th century non-designated heritage asset that makes an important contribution to the conservation area. There were no concerns about the lack of on-site parking due to the availability of on-street parking in the Market Square. The Planning Officer requested changes to conditions 3 and 4 to secure a screen wall to the external terrace and obscure glazing to the whole of the rear windows.

 

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

 

·         Julian McIntosh, Applicant – statement read out by Democratic Support

 

There was a discussion regarding the screen wall and the proposal from the applicant about the replacement of this wall with a high slatted fence. The positioning of dustbins was discussed and the inclusion of a condition to  maintain the siting of the bins was requested by the Members. 

 

It was noted that paragraph 76 in the report should have read that Derbyshire County Council, as the Highway Authority, have been consulted on this application and raised no objections.

 

There was a question about a condition for external lighting and if one should be included.  The scope for climate change mitigation was discussed and paragraph 77 of the report addresses this.  There is limited other opportunity to include climate change mitigation measures without potential harm to the setting.

 

A motion to approve the application with additional conditions covering the following areas was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

1.    A condition to agree the boundary wall treatment.

2.    A condition to secure full obscure glazing to the rear windows.

3.    A condition regarding the storage area for the bins

4.    A condition regarding the outside lighting

5.    A condition to secure the delivery of the agreed CC1 scheme
