Agenda item

The Director of Neighbourhood Services recommended that, in respect of application 3/10/1401/LB, listed building consent be granted subject to the conditions now detailed.  The Director of Neighbourhood Services also recommended that, in respect of application 3/10/1543/LB, listed building consent be granted subject to the conditions now detailed.

In response to a query from Councillor R N Copping, the Director confirmed that this was an application where both planning permission and listed building consent were required before the development could go ahead.

The Director confirmed that as the application for planning permission had been withdrawn, this report was now solely to invite Members to consider whether the impact of the proposed development was acceptable in relation to its impact on the historic character and appearance of the listed building.

In response to a concern from Councillor R Gilbert in relation to the impact of the application on the listed building, the Director stated that Officers were satisfied that there would not be a detrimental impact on the historic character and appearance of the listed building.

The Committee was advised however, that Officers had been concerned in relation to the impact of the planning application on the principle of such development in the green belt.  Members were reminded that it was quite acceptable to refuse planning permission on an application whilst approving listed building consent.

After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the Committee supported the recommendations of the Director of Neighbourhood Services that applications 3/10/1401/LB and 3/10/1543/LB be granted listed building consent subject to the conditions now detailed.
