Public Speaking

Pursuant to Part 4, Section 7 of the Council’s Constitution in relation to public rights of participation in planning applications, the Chairman allowed the following to give a 5 minute presentation:

·         Cllr. Alex DeWinter – Ward Member

·         Steve O’Hare – Objector

DECISION

THAT APPLICATION 23/0514/FUL BE REFUSED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

1.    The District Planning Authority considers that the use of the premises for a Class C2 Childrens Home would result in undue noise and general disturbance affecting nearby residents, which would be contrary to Policy DM1 of the Blaby District Local Plan (Delivery) Development Plan Document (Feb 2019).

2.    Furthermore, the District Planning Authority does not consider that the off-street car parking available to serve this use is sufficient to cater for all the staff and visitors to the site which would give rise to indiscriminate on-street car parking in the vicinity of the junction between Little Masons Close and Burchnall Road which would be contrary to the best interests of highway safety and this would be contrary to Policy DM8 of the Blaby District Local Plan (Delivery) Development Plan Document (Feb 2019).
