Application for alterations and extensions to existing Parish Hall and erection of a new Pavilion.

Late items:

Sport England has requested that the following condition is added:

The changing rooms hereby approved are constructed in accordance with the details submitted and available for use prior to any works taking place which results in the loss of the existing changing rooms in the Millennium Hall.

Reason: In order to maintain the continuity and availability of changing provision at the site and in accordance with Policy DM 8 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies DPD.

Officer Response

The applicant’s views about Sport England’s request has been sought, who has stated that although completion of the new pavilion prior to the closure of the existing facility is the intention of the parish council, issues relating to timing and weather could make it difficult to comply with a condition. They therefore request that no such condition is included.

While the suggested condition is relevant to the scheme, insisting upon the changing rooms to be constructed before the existing facilities are decommissioned would be unreasonable. The recommendation to approve without Sport England’s suggested condition therefore remains unaltered.

Application for alterations and extensions to existing parish hall and erection of a new pavilion.

On the motion of Councillor O’Shea, seconded by Councillor Boothby, it was

RESOLVED – permission be granted subject to the conditions contained in the officer’s report.
