NKDC Decision/Status |
After consideration of the planning issues, it was resolved to approve the application for the following reasons:- Planning permission (ref: 16/1444) was granted in February 2017 for the erection of four detached houses on land off of Station Road, Helpringham. This permission was implemented before it lapsed in early 2020 and plot 4 is substantively constructed. A revised house type is now proposed for plot 3, with further revisions to the others including siting of plot 1, handing of plot 2, materials, windows and proposed tree protection/ landscaping, the latter to reflect the existing site arrangements following tree removal. The proposed works, following submission of revised details are considered acceptable in respect of matters of design, tree protection and proposed landscaping in particular and accordingly the recommendation is one of approval. Approved 2 Nov 20 |

NKDC Decision/Status |
After consideration of the planning issues, it was resolved to approve the application for the following reasons:- This application relates to the demolition of an existing house and erection of up to five new dwellings on land to the south of Shepherds Lane, which is in part a single track private road serving four existing properties and an annex under construction. The scale of development proposed is in accordance with that for individual applications in medium villages as set out in Policy LP2 of the CLLP and the remaining indicative growth for Helpringham under Policy LP4. The existing house though of some age is not of significant amenity value and is not identified by the District Council as a non-designated heritage asset and its loss should be balanced against the benefits of delivering up to five (net four) new dwellings. The application site which has strongly defined boundaries and relates well to the existing settlement, is capable of being developed without harming the character of the area, the countryside beyond or the amenities of adjacent residents. Whilst elements of the site represent greenfield edge of village in an appropriate location, it is considered that given the nature of Helpringham and remaining growth, this is sequentially acceptable in accordance with Policy LP4 and consistent with the conclusions drawn on recent applications within the settlement. The proposal is within close walking distance of existing village services and whilst the nature of Shepherds Lane is noted, the Highways Authority and NKDC refuse team do not raise objection to the proposal taking into consideration the proposed provision of passing places on the Lane and a turning head within the development, which with associated indemnity agreement will enable NKDC refuse vehicles to collect from frontages. Drawing the above together it is considered that the proposal is acceptable in principle, representing a sustainable form of development in accordance with the objectives of the CLLP and NPPF. |

Proposed demolition of existing bungalow, replacement dwelling & erection of 4 new dwellings with detached double garages & associated works (outline with all matters reserved).

PC Comments to NKDC |
The Parish Council conducted a site visit to view planning application 20/1385/OUT and offers the following comments. 1. The site appears to be of sufficient size to accommodate the proposed development and we have no objections in principle. However the access road (Shepherds Lane) is very narrow and likely to pose difficulties for refuse collection, oil delivery and any other medium/large vehicle. 2. An adjacent, similar application (20/1162/OUT) addresses some of these issues but this application (20/1385/OUT) doubles the number of properties being accessed from this narrow lane and we would wish to see a requirement to provide a turning area for large vehicles within each development. 3. Shepherds Lane is unadopted, and we consider it essential that council refuse vehicles are able (and willing) to access this development. It is unacceptable that residents of this proposed development would have to take bins the long distance to the end of the lane, where there is no space for them anyway, exacerbating access problems.
