Planning
1. Applications received by the Local Planning Authority
  The Council considered all current applications including those listed in the schedule (Plans_07_21_21) / ratified comments already made by the Planning Working Group and resolved as follows:
  1. N/113/01285/21 – The Charterhouse, Manby Park, LN11 8UT - Grimoldby and Manby Parish Council objected to the original application and resolved on 21st July 2021 to object to this on the grounds of:
    1) The Council has always supported ELDCs stance that due to all the buildings on the old camp being listed, and of special architectural interest, they should not be used for conversion into Domestic Use. However, when ELDC make their move to Horncastle their buildings will not be used leaving the only likely use as domestic.
    2) Anglian Water made a number of comments in their letter to ELDC dated 25th January 2011, regarding suitability of both the Foul and Storm water systems.
    The former lapsed approval was for 42 dwelling units where as now 48 are shown, two of which (26 and 27) appear to be for disabled persons. Is this sufficient?
    3) Who will be responsible for maintenance of the existing roads which are unlikely to meet the current standards of Lincolnshire County Council?
    4) If approved ELDC will need to approve the new bricks and bonds to match those of the existing building as far as possible.
    5) If approved ELDC will need to approve the new roof tiles to match those of the existing building as far as possible.
    6) If approved ELDC should ensure that new windows and doors are constructed from timber vertical sliding sections (not doors).
    7) All visible downpipes and gutters etc should be of cast iron to match those used on the existing building.
  2. N/113/01139/21 – 1 Vampire Road, Manby, LN11 8TX – Support.
  3. N/067/01453/21 – Rose Cottage, Priory Lane, Grimoldby, LN11 8SP – Support.
2. Planning Decisions to Note
  There were no planning decisions to note.
