Proposed asphalt surface to existing hardcore access ramp

No
Public Consultation
Yes – 12 letters of objection received
Mr Howson, Principal Planning Officer, presented the application for a proposed asphalt surface to an existing hardcore access ramp.
Since publication four additional representations have been received objecting to the application. No new issues are raised, but they do expand on previous objections which are addressed in the report.
The proposal would not alter the dimensions of the access ramp but would provide a permeable and permanent asphalt surface contained by concrete edging. The current ramp surface is a mix of stones, soil and grass. The approved planting area would not be affected by the proposal.
The existing access ramp is lawful and has been in situ in its current form for over four years. As such only the asphalt surface requires planning permission. Archaeology would be unaffected as there are no ground works required.
In conclusion the proposal is only for minor works and no harm has been identified. Therefore, the application is recommended for approval.
Councillors were shown plans, photographs and elevations of the application site.
Councillor Beaver proposed approval of the recommendations, seconded by Councillor Roark.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that full planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions:
1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.
2. The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plan: 21.408/01A
Reasons:
1. This condition is imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
2. For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.Notes to the applicant:
1. Failure to comply with any condition imposed on this decision may result in enforcement action without further warning.
2. Statement of positive engagement: In dealing with this application Hastings Borough Council has actively sought to work with the applicant in a positive and proactive manner, in accordance with paragraph 38 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
3. The applicant is reminded that should any changes to the originally approved scheme be made in light of any subsequent revisions to drainage or relevant ground works that may occur, then the drainage and soft landscaping details approved under HS/CD/16/00655 may not be deemed to be discharged, and a further application may be required.
4. The applicant is advised to also apply to Historic England for Scheduled Monument Consent to undertake any changes to the ramp including resurfacing.

Public Consultation
Yes - Council application on Council owned land
At the request of the Senior Planning Officer the Chair moved this item up the agenda.
The Planning Services Manager presented the application for the replacement of decayed timber shoring to a gable wall with new steel equivalent
The application has been brought to the Planning Committee as it is a Council application on Council owned land. The area comprises a small parcel of grass land, bin storage and vegetation. There has been a resolution to grant permission for a five-storey hotel to be built on the adjacent car park and there is another application for the site to consider a substation for the hotel.
The application has been submitted as the existing shorings are subject to decay and the replacements will provide extra stability. Steel shorings will be fixed to concrete foundation pads and the appearance of the structure will change minimally.
Councillors were shown plans, photographs and elevations of the application site.
Councillor Beaver proposed approval of the recommendations, seconded by Councillor Roark.

Public Consultation
Yes – 9 letters of objection received
Mrs Meppem, Senior Planning Officer, presented the application for the removal of prefabricated concrete garages and the creation of one dwelling with parking.
Condition 17 has been amended to also remove permitted development for the addition of further storeys to the property as allowed by Class AA of Part 1 of Schedule 2 and Class AD of Part 20 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.?
?This has been done to ensure no harmful impact on the neighbouring properties in future.
Comments have been received from the Conservation Officer who has no overall objection however requests specific information which have been included in an additional Condition 19. This condition requests details of the proposed windows, doors, and external balcony to be approved by the Local Planning Authority.
The site is accessed from Essenden Road and is well hidden from the main road. The existing garages are too small to meet current requirements and therefore cannot be used for modern cars. There have been previous refusals for large developments on the site and the current proposal has been designed to meet climate change requirements, including sustainable drainage.
A preliminary ecology report was submitted and concluded that the site is of low ecological value.
Councillors were shown plans, photographs and elevations of the application site.
Councillor Beaver proposed approval of the recommendations, subject to the amendment of Condition 17 and addition of Condition 19, seconded by Councillor Sinden.
