The Principal Planning Officer recommended refusal. The Principal Planning Officer outlined the application and detailed the main issues within the report. Members were advised of 2 letters of objection. Councillor W Jefferson moved refusal. This was seconded by Councillor N Cockburn. Councillor P Kendall moved deferral for a site visit. This was not seconded therefore the motion was lost. A vote was taken, 11 in favour of refusal, 1 against and 0 abstentions. The motion in favour of refusal was carried. The decision: Refused. Reasons: 1. The fence, by virtue of its design, materials, and prominent location, constitutes an unacceptable modern and alien feature within the streetscene to the detriment of the visual amenities of the locality, failing to preserve or enhance the character of the Silloth Conservation Area, contrary to Chapter 12 of the NPPF, saved Policies CO2 and CO13 of the Allerdale Local Plan and emerging Policy S4 of the Allerdale Local Plan (Part 1). Proactive Statement The Local Planning Authority had acted positively and proactively in determining this application by identifying planning policies, constraints, stakeholder representations and matters of concern with the proposal and discussing those with the Applicant. However, the issues were so fundamental to the proposal that it had not been possible to negotiate a satisfactory way forward and due to the harm which had been clearly identified within the reason(s) for the refusal, approval had not been possible. 405 Development Panel - 2.2013.0418 - Erection of 42 Units- Former Huntingtons Garage Site, South End, Wigton The application: Erection of 33 units for residents over 55 and adults with disabilities or sensory impairment and 9 units for adults with learning disabilities (including demolition), South End Garage, South End, Wigton.
