Agenda item

Proposal for erection of crematorium building and formation of associated memorial gardens, roadways, car parking, footpaths and landscaping.

‘Late items:’

Appraisal:-

Paragraph 8.46 of the committee report states that the consideration of a replacement layby is being negotiated and an update will be reported as a late item. Discussions with Leicestershire County Council Highways are still ongoing as to if a replacement layby is necessary or if there is capacity available with the remaining layby which would remove the need for a replacement layby. LCC Highways are undertaking further survey work which will inform that request. The applicant is willing to sign a Section 106 to secure a replacement layby, if necessary. Therefore the recommendation has been amended to include an obligation for the provision of a replacement layby, if necessary.

A condition has been added requiring details of the lighting details of the scheme. This has been added to ensure light spillage from the site is minimised in the interests of visual amenity and to protect the rural character and appearance of the countryside and the amenities of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties in accordance with Policies DM4 and DM10 of the adopted Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document (2016).

Recommendation:-

Grant planning permission subject to:

•           The prior completion of a legal agreement to secure the following obligations:

•             the provision of a replacement layby, if required

•           Planning conditions outlined at the end of this report.

That the Interim Head of Planning be given powers to determine the final detail of planning conditions.

That the Interim Head of Planning be given delegated powers to determine the terms of the S106 agreement including trigger points and claw back periods.

The conditions outlined in section 11.4 of the original report remain unchanged, with the exception of condition 2, which is amended to include additional updated plans and the addition of a condition requesting details of lighting.

Condition 2 is amended as follows:

2.         The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out otherwise than in complete accordance with the submitted application details, as follows:-
