Description

Conversion of hotel and various alterations and extensions to the listed buildings to accommodate 21 dwelling units, car and cycle parking and private and communal gardens. (Listed Building Consent).

Decision

The Committee received a presentation from the Planning Officer.

The following matters were raised by the Committee:

a)            Listed building status: Following a question from a Member, the Officer confirmed that only part of the building is registered as Listed. It was noted that, should the Application be approved, works would start as soon as possible to prevent any further deterioration in fabric.

b)            Confidential comments from residents: Following a question from a Member, the Officer confirmed the process in following GDPR rules when compiling a Committee report. It was noted that public comments are redacted to omit sensitive information from concerns regarding an application. The Officers work hard in dealing with concerns from local residents when creating their reports.

c)            Monitoring: Members noted the possibility that, should the Application be approved, a condition being included for the Developer/owner to make a contribution for the future monitoring of this site. The Officer noted that a condition would not be suitable, but this may be arranged by way of a S106 Agreement. This may also state that should the fabric of the building begin to deteriorate, the Council may step in and intervene at their own cost.

The Head of Planning proposed the following additional:

Informative:

(2)          ’Under section 9 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 it is a criminal offence, without consent, to demolish a Listed Building, or to alter or extend such a building in a way that would affect its character. The penalties for this can be heavy, both for the person who carries out the work and for whoever commissions it. The applicant is strongly advised to ensure that the contractor carrying out the work is made aware of the above conditions. Should the works carried out exceed that which is permitted then it may be open to the Local Planning Authority to take prosecution action against the owner of the property and/or the contractor. If the applicant is unclear about any aspect of the specification for works, they are strongly advised to contact the Council’s Historic Buildings and Conservation Area Officer prior to the commencement of the works.

Following consideration, the Committee resolved with 10 Members voting for, 2 abstentions and the Chair not voting that:
