An Environment Permit existed for the site. 2. A Fire Management Plan existed for the site. 3. The storage of water in the event of a fire on the site was in place. 4. Fire hydrants existed in suitable locations on the site. 5. The Fire and Rescue Service were satisfied with the arrangements for the storage of tyres and tyre bales on the site. PLANNING AND REGULATION COMMITTEE 7 SEPTEMBER 2015 6. The fire at a similar plant at Kirton in 2003 was on an unregistered site. 7. The plant at Sutterton was much smaller than the Kirton site. In response to a question from the Committee, Lewis Smith explained the dimensions of the outside storage site for tyres and tyre bales and the procedures in place for removing them in to internal storage at the end of the day adding that by the use of a fork lift truck the bales could be moved quickly and tyres would be rolled into the internal storage. He stated that it was not proposed to use the entire outside storage space to store tyres and tyre bales but to only use this area if there was no internal room. Officers stated that following further examination the dimensions of the outside storage area was 23 metres by 17 metres, not 40 metres by 30 metres, as stated by Lewis Smith. Comments made by the Committee included:- 1. This was a relatively new business and this was a tidy site. 2. The dimensions of the outside storage area had been supplied by the applicant. 3. The applicant had done everything the Committee had requested at its last meeting. On a motion by Councillor W S Webb, seconded by Councillor D Brailsford, it was – RESOLVED (unanimous) That planning permission be granted for the variation of Condition Nos. 2, 6, 7 and 11 of planning permission B18/0370/11, dated 16 May 2012, and subject to all other conditions so far as the same are still subsisting and capable of taking effect and that new conditions be imposed to replace Conditions Nos. 2, 6, 7 and 11, as detailed in the report. 28 SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT - TO VARY CONDITION 6 OF PLANNING PERMISSION S12/0601/14 (TO ALLOW THE STOCKPILES TO BE UP TO A MAXIMUM OF 6 METRES IN HEIGHT) - BLUE SKY PLASTICS LTD, SOUTH FEN ROAD, BOURNE - S12/1153/15 Mr Chris Riddle, the applicant commented as follows:- 1. Planning permission had been granted for the site in November 2014. 2. Described the layout of the site, its surroundings and the planting which had taken place around the site. 3. The company was unique in the country in the type of work it carried out and the challenges faced in moving materials from the site to other destinations. 4. Good progress had recently been made in moving materials off site and therefore it had been possible to reduce the height of the materials stored on the site to four metres. This had led to the company being able to enforce the new layout of the site to meet the conditions of the Environment Permit. PLANNING AND REGULATION COMMITTEE 7 SEPTEMBER 2015 5. With regard to the visual impact of the site on neighbours there had not been any objections to their proposal to increase the height of materials. On a motion by Councillor T M Trollope-Bellew, seconded by Councillor I G Fleetwood, it was – RESOLVED (unanimous) That the application be refused as detailed in the report. 29 SECTION 73 APPLICATION TO VARY CONDITIONS 2 (DEVELOPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBMITTED PLANS), 4 (ACTIVITIES INSIDE THE BUILDING), 6 (OUTSIDE STORAGE) AND 9 (NO MECHANICAL SORTING) OF PERMISSION B/0423/09 AT SILVER SKIPS, NURSERY ROAD, RIVERSIDE INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, BOSTON - B/0195/15 Lewis Smith, representing the applicant, commented as follows:- 1.

The company had an increased workload and was trying to make the site layout more efficient. 5. The sorter to deal with concrete and soil arriving at the site was explained. 6. There was not any crushing of materials involved. 7. A dust management plan would be in place. 8. The screening of soil formed only a small part of the process. 9. Improved fencing would be provided around the site. In response to a question, Lewis Smith stated that no businesses were likely to be harmed in proximity to the applicant's site. Comments made by the Committee included:- 1. This type of company was needed as recycling increased. 2. Similar companies existed in proximity to the applicant's site. 3. During strong winds it was hoped that the applicant would take the necessary measures to prevent windblown dust. 4. Was it possible to plant shrubs to separate the adjacent company's site from the applicant's site? 5. If there was a problem caused by windblown dust what action could the Committee take to prevent this happening? Officers' responses to the comments made by the Committee included:- 1. The report gave details of the dust management measures proposed to be put in place by the applicant to address windblown dust. 2. The adjacent company had a single door opening on the frontage of the building facing the application site. PLANNING AND REGULATION COMMITTEE 7 SEPTEMBER 2015 3. The area adjacent to the proposed fence along the southern boundary was not suitable for the planting of vegetation and would not provide any additional mitigation to reduce dust nuisance from the proposed development.
