Public Participation
The main concern about the s.73 application was that the building footprint had moved closer to the existing dwelling of Barn Close. The resident considered that a conservation corridor should be in place between Barn Close and any development to help mitigate the impact of any development for the resident. Frustrations were voiced about the inability of ELDC Planning Department to enforce conditions put on developers and also that development in a piecemeal fashion meant that s.106 agreements were not put in place. The resident suggested that the Parish Council wrote to the landowner to ask if a conservation corridor could be included adjacent to Barn Close.
Councillor Grover reported that he would email the Planning Officer to support a conservation corridor and would be happy to be a signatory on any letter to the landowner. Cllr Grover was unsure as to whether the ‘call in’ process related to amendments. Cllr Grover reported widespread unhappiness with the s.106 agreements which often do not benefit the community. The process is under review but has been put on hold pending the local government reorganisation.
The member of public left the meeting at 7.32pm

19. Apologies were received from Cllr Oliver and Middleton.
20. No declarations of interest were made.
21. It was resolved to object to the Section 73 application (ref: 00658/26/RVC ) to vary condition no. 2 (approved plans), no. 5 (materials), no. 6. (trees), no. 7 (landscaping), no. 8 (ecology/protected species report) and no. 9 (domestic rights) previously imposed on planning permission ref. no. N/136/00563/23 for the erection of 3no. houses with garages and construction of vehicular accesses at land off Skegness Road Hardings Lane, Partney, due to the proximity of the proposed dwelling to the existing Barn Close property. It was felt that the effect of the development on the neighbour had not been respected and would lead to a devaluation of the neighbour’s property. It was further resolved to write to the landowner and ask that a conservation corridor be included to help mitigate the effect of development.
The meeting closed at 7.43pm
