Proposed Development

 

*5.1     Variation of Condition 5 of Planning Permission 08/00026/MIN to extend hours of HGV movements at Wakerley Quarry, Wakerley NN17 3BA for Mick George Limited

 

            Application No:

             NN/21/00014/MINVOC

Speaker:

 

David Allan attended the meeting and addressed the committee as a representative of Wakerley Parish Meeting. Concerns were raised in relation to breaches of existing planning permission. Questions of professional oversite and compliance were raised by Mr Allan. In addressing the committee it was clarified that should conditions be added to any planning permissions which would improve the current situation then the parish meeting would withdraw existing objections.

 

John Gough attended the meeting and addressed the committee as the agent on behalf of the applicant stating that the proposed development was assisting local growth agendas and economic recovery and that the site included a sunken access road with screening to minimise disruption. It was clarified to members that the applicant would be accepting of conditions which would included the installation of CCTV for vehicle monitoring purposes and adequate sound monitoring.

 

Decision

 

Members received a report about a proposal for which planning permission was being sought  for the variation of condition 5 of Planning Permission 08/00026/MIN to extend hours of HGV movements.

 

The Planning Officer addressed the committee and provided an update which stated that there had been clerical amendments to the officers report as detailed in the update report.

 

Members initially raised concerns regarding recent breaches of planning permission by the applicant. Concerns were also raised in relation to noise monitoring within the facility and the possible detrimental impact on neighbouring villages.

 

Members also raised questions regarding the use of temporary planning permission for 18 months which would include further conditions in relation to the establishment of site monitoring, CCTV and a site specific noise assessment.

 

Following debate an amendment to the officer recommendation was proposed by Councillor Bell and seconded by Councillor Allebone that the application be approved subject to an 18-month temporary planning permission with additional conditions for CCTV, site monitoring, site specific noise assessment in addition to previously proposed

 

It was agreed that the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

 

Note: this does not include all the other conditions which were on the original permissions 08/00026/MIN and EN/97/522C (64 conditions in total) which will also be added but are not affected by the current application.
