Application: 2010/0112/COU Location: Haulage Yard, Hazel Old Lane, Hensall Proposal: Change of use from agricultural land to caravan storage area B8 The Senior Planning Officer presented the report and highlighted salient points for the consideration of the Committee. The Senior Planning Officer explained that the conditions would include amendments and the addition of an informative. • Condition 2 should read ‘Drawing 040a’ rather than ‘040’. • The removal of Condition 3 as it is no longer necessary. • Condition 5 should read ‘Drawing 040a’ rather than ‘040’. • Condition 6 amended to include a submission period of 3 months from date of determination. And amend criterion iii to include a timescale of 12 months for implementation of the approved scheme. • The addition of a condition to remove permitted development rights for the erection of further fences to the applications site as outlined in the report. • A suitable informative should be attached to inform the applicant that the decision does not include the erection of CCTV and Lighting pillars, that the retention of those on site would require a separate planning approval. Public Speaker – Dr Mary Laurenson (Objector) • The application was retrospective. • The initial application was for 143 caravans and the proposed increase was excessive. • Noise and traffic were issues for the residents. • The area developed is larger than originally requested in the initial application. • Lack of compliance in terms of operating hours. • Landscaping requirements have not been fully complied with at the site. • No environmental checks had been undertaken regarding contaminated land and health risks to residents. • The issue of the legality of razor wire being used on the site. • Maintenance and servicing is being carried out on the site. • 60% increase in capacity will cause additional nuisance. Planning Committee 22 September 2010 7 Public Speaker – Councillor Gillian Ivey • Speaking on behalf of the residents of Hensall objecting to the proposals. • The immediate area of Hensall now has 2 caravan storage facilities. • Evidence of failure to comply fully with original planning conditions. • Increased traffic along Hazel Old Lane will cause nuisance for the residents. • A travel plan could be put in place to direct traffic from the site around the back of Eggborough Power Station rather than passed the houses on Hazel Old Lane. Public Speaker – Mr Peter Wilson (Agent) • Refuted claims of abuse and intimidation on the part of his client. • The business is currently operational and conditions have been satisfied with the exception of 2 small areas of bunding. • The land considered in this application had not been used in any way prior to approval being sought. • There would be a slight increase in traffic in the area, but not to the extent suggested by objectors. • The applicant supported the management of traffic approaching and leaving the site to avoid going passed the residential properties. • The visual amenity of the site will improve when the trees/shrubs have matured to obscure the security fencing.
