Application for erection of a detached log cabin for a footcare and beauty salon business (retrospective) (resubmission of 17/01004/FUL)).

‘Late items.’

Site:- 7 Utah Close, Hinckley

Proposal:- Erection of a detached log cabin for a footcare and beauty salon business (retrospective) (resubmission of 17/01004/FUL)

Appraisal:-

Following consultation with local members, comments were raised as to whether the cabin could be re-painted and sited further back into the site. The applicant has advised that the cabin could be painted to match the house but is unwilling to move the cabin back into the site. It is therefore considered that due to the siting adjacent the front elevation of the existing property, the proposed cabin would be highly prominent within the streetscene.

Notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation that permission be refused, some members felt that, in general, the benefit of the application outweighed the harm. It was moved by Councillor Bessant, seconded by Councillor Roberts and

RESOLVED – permission be granted with the imposition of appropriate conditions delegated to officers – such conditions to include painting of the cabin, appropriate hours for a business in a residential area and an appropriate timeframe.
