1. Planning Application – Reference 2019/1178/FUL
Proposal: Proposed change of use of commercial building from B2 to 50% mix B2and B8 (retrospective). Proposed 19 no. storage containers (B8 retrospective) plus 9 no. additional containers B8. Land at Stretton Road, Greetham.
Members discussed the planning application and agreed on a response of “Neutral”, with the following comments made:
If planning permission granted, consideration be given to the following conditions:
- Containers should be painted in a neutral colour to minimise impact on Landscape
- Screening with trees / hedges, particularly on the South side
- Suitable controls to prevent hazardous chemicals etc being stored in the containers as they are close to a waterway.
- Prohibition on illumination of storage area
- Prohibition of advertising boards on the site
The Parish Council would be opposed to the extra containers applied for, which are over and above the containers that are already in place. The PC would also like to see no further storage container development on this site allowed in the future.
Action: Parish Clerk to update RCC Planning Portal with decision “neutral” and add comments.
