The Planning Services Manager presented the application for retention of chicken coop, shepherds hut and storage shed.
The site comprises a single storey detached property on the south side of Fairlight Road within Hastings Country Park. The boundary is lined by trees which are subject to a group and individual Tree Preservation Order.
This application follows an earlier application which was withdrawn following concerns raised by the Local Planning Authority regarding the design of the main storage shed.
Councillors were shown plans, photographs and elevations of the application site. The Planning Services Manager advised that the chicken coop was not fixed to the ground and was not considered harmful to the character of the area. The shepherds hut was well landscaped and also not harmful to the character of the area.
Councillor Beaver proposed a motion, seconded by Councillor Davies, to approve the planning application as set out in the resolution below.
RESOLVED - (unanimously) that planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions:
1. The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: LWC-07C, LWC-03A, LWC-05A, LWC-06 & LWC-04A
2. The shepherd hut and main storage shed/summerhouse, shall be ancillary to the main dwelling house and used solely for the purpose incidental to the host dwelling and not to be let as or rented as holiday or for additional income.
3. No additional pruning to the 2 x Alder, 1 x Oak and 1 x Field Maple shall take place adjacent to the workshop/summerhouse, until the precise details have been submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
4. No further development shall take place to the workshop/summerhouse until temporary protective fences as illustrated in Appendix B, to safeguard the trees and/or hedges to be retained on the site have been erected in accordance with the current BS5837:2012: Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction, standards and to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. All such fences shall be kept in a sound, upright and complete condition until the development has been completed and/or the Local Planning Authority confirm in writing that the works have been sufficiently completed for the fencing to be removed.
Reasons:
1. For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
2. To safeguard the amenity of the adjoining country park.
3. In the interests of the health of the trees and the visual amenity of the area.
4. In the interests of the health of the trees and to protect the visual amenity.
Notes to the applicant:
1. Failure to comply with any condition imposed on this permission 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. There is a Tree Preservation Order affecting the land and (subject to the terms of the order) the applicant must contact the Borough Arboriculturist and submit any necessary applications before any future works to trees are carried out, including pruning, or removal of overhanging branches on this site.
4. No further development shall be carried out on this site without written confirmation that either permission is not required, or planning permission is required and granted.
