Foxgloves, Main Street, Edingley - 24/00695/LBC Minutes: The Committee considered the report of the Business Manager – Planning Development, which sought the retention of a small open porch.
Members considered the presentation from the Assistant Business Manager Planning Development, which included photographs and plans of the proposed development.
Ms L Young (Freeths LLP) agent for the Applicant, spoke in support of the application. Members considered the application and the Local Ward Member commented that this was a well-cared for barn. The composite doors had only been replaced as the oak doors had rotted due to the rainwater runoff from the barn roof. The porch had been built to aid the runoff from the roof and protected the side wall. A lot of properties had recently flooded in that area, this property would have suffered from that problem however the porch was sand bagged and provided protection from the flood water. The porch was not visible due to the hedge from the village.
Other Members felt that there was nothing wrong with the proposal other than the application was retrospective and the bricks could have been more in keeping with the barn. It was considered that the porch would preserve the listed building.
Other Members commented that listed buildings were listed for a reason and should not be changed, and the Committee should follow the National Planning Guidance. The bricks were also not in keeping with the barn.
A vote was taken and lost for Refusal with 4 votes For, 6 votes Against and 1 Abstention.
AGREED Proposer Councillor P Rainbow and Seconder Councillor E Oldham (with 6 votes For, 4 votes Against and 1 Abstention) that contrary to Officer recommendation Listed Building Consent be approved.
Reason for approval: Adverse impact on the listed building was considered to be negligible. The applicant was considered to have a clear and convincing justification, and some weight was given to the public benefit of the proposal through the ongoing preservation of the building.
In accordance with paragraph 13.5 of the Planning Protocol, as the motion was against Officer recommendation, a recorded vote was taken.
