20/01207/COU – Conversion of former retail unit into hot food takeaway and associated works

R and J Angling Supplies, 32 Swallow Croft, Lichfield, Staffordshire

For: Mr Jahed Ahmed

 

RESOLVED: That the planning application be REFUSED for the following reasons:-

 

The proposals are contrary to policies CP3, BE1, ST1 and ST2 of the Lichfield District Local Plan Strategy 2008-2029. This is due to impact on residential amenity from traffic generation, noise, light, fumes, odour and other general disturbance and that the proposals are unacceptable on highway grounds due to parking and access problems.  The proposals are also not sustainable for such reasons.

 

(Prior to consideration of the application, representations were made by Ms Sandra Bradburn (Objector) and Councillor Joanne Grange (Ward Councillor))

Staffordshire County Council Consultation (L.20/03/867 M)
Our ref: 20/00722/SCC - Proposed sand and gravel extraction, the erection of associated plant and infrastructure andcreation of new access, in order to supply the HS2 project with ready mix concrete withexportation of surplus sand and gravel
Land South of the A513, Orgreave, Alrewas, Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire

 

The Committee considered the amended/additional information submitted to Staffordshire County Council and noted the extension of the consultation period until 18 December 2020 to receive comments.   The committee heard and noted the concerns of the Ward Councillor and agreed with them. 

 

The committee wished to reiterate their previous concerns raised to the proposals, as they felt these concerns had not been addressed by the additional information.  There was also concern raised about the need for the proposal and its relationship to the construction of HS2; as it was noted that HS2 had advised there has been no communication with the applicant.  There was additional concern raised about the long term impact of the proposals on the rural area and impact on residential amenity/noise disturbance by virtue of 24/7 working and it was considered that the proposals are not needed and do not meet social, economic or environmental requirements. It was agreed that a robust objection to the changes be sent from LDC for the reasons stated. 

 

RESOLVED: That an appropriate consultation response be sent to Staffordshire County Council raising the concerns expressed.

 

(Prior to consideration of the application, representations were made by Councillor M Wilcox (Ward Councillor)).
