Removal of condition
14 part A(ii) and B of F/2013/0394/OUT
for 140 dwellings
This application
was referred to the Development Control Committee because
it was for a ‘major’ development and one of the Lakenheath Ward
Members (Councillor Stephen Frost) had referred the
proposals.
Furthermore, the recommendation to grant planning permission was
contrary to the views of Lakenheath Parish Council.
The
Principal Planning Officer – Major Projects explained that
the application was recommended for conditional approval (as set
out in Paragraphs 43 and 44 of Report No DEV/WS/22/001) subject
to the adoption by the Local Planning
Authority of an ‘Appropriate Assessment’ under the
provisions of Regulation 63 of The Conservation of Habitats and
Species Regulations 2017, which confirms no likely significant
effects to the Breckland Special
Protection Area, arising from the proposals; and completion of a
S106 Agreement (or equivalent) to secure the planning obligations
captured from the related planning permission
F2013/0394/OUT.
The
Committee’s attention was drawn to Paragraph 32 of the report
and Members were advised that the reference therein to Condition No
20 was inaccurate and should have read No 14.
As part of
his presentation the Officer explained that the other pending major
development applications that had been approved for Lakenheath had
similarly sought removal of the same condition from their
permissions.
Speaker: Beth Deacon-Bates
(Persimmon Homes – applicant) spoke in support of the
application
A number of Members posed questions in respect of the noise monitoring and
enforcement.
In
response, the Principal Planning Officer – Major Projects
referred to the evidence supplied by the MOD in respect of the
difference in character of noise output between the F35 and F15
aircraft and displayed the noise contour mapping to the meeting. He
also explained the role of building control and enforcement in
relation to the application.
Councillor
Peter Stevens proposed that the application be approved, as per the
Officer recommendation, this was duly seconded by Councillor Mike
Chester.
