The action log was noted.
To review and comment on the following West Lindsey District Council Planning consultations:
038/22 Reference 144374: Planning application to remove conservatory and erect single storey extension. 9 Millfield Avenue, Saxilby, Lincoln, LN1 2QN.
The Council recognises the impact of climate change and biodiversity, and requests that this extension should be fit for the future i.e. ultra-energy efficient and climate resilient, maximising low carbon and renewable energy.
The proposed extension should demonstrate the criteria in Policy 2 (Design of new developments) of the Saxilby with Ingleby made Neighbourhood Development Plan, specifically in relation to 2.b – use of materials appropriate to the development’s context.
039/22 Reference 144401: Planning application to replace the garage door with double glazed window. 6 Fossdyke Paddock, Saxilby, Lincoln, LN! 4AU.
The council has no comments
040/22 Reference 144491: Planning application to erect 1no. dwelling. Land rear of 45 Mill Lane, Saxilby, Lincoln, LN1 2HN.
We strongly object to this application.
This is a rear garden development, and the size of the plot is small.
The path is not wide enough for disabled access to the house.
The proposed dwelling is detrimental to the street scene.
It is not in line with Policy 2 (Design of new developments) of the made Saxilby with Ingleby Neighbourhood Plan, specifically 2.a – must respect the existing pattern of development in terms of enclosure and definition of streets and spaces, and 2.c – must be of an appropriate scale and density in relation to its setting.
It is also not in line with Policy 17 (Traffic and movement around the village).
Also, as per conclusion 6.5 in the NDP supporting Character Assessment – the character of the area should be respected, in terms of respect for the scale and form, and the architectural style of surrounding development.
There is no supporting documentation visible on the planning portal.
041/22 Reference 144485: Planning application to erect single storey side and rear extensions. South View, Gainsborough Road, Saxilby, Lincoln, LN1 2LX.
The Council recognises the impact of climate change and biodiversity, and requests that this extension should be fit for the future i.e. ultra-energy efficient and climate resilient, maximising low carbon and renewable energy.
