5.4 SI/09/03687/DOM. Boxham Lane Cottage 1 Boxham Lane. Replacement garage (Barn style).
PC decision ‘No Objection’.
5.5 SI/09/03705/PLD Church House, Church Farm Lane. Outdoor swimming pool.
PC decision ‘Object’ to PLD, request full planning application be requested by CDC.
Reasons for objection:-
• The property is in the Sidlesham Church Conservation Area.
• The area is particularly sensitive immediately adjacent to Sidlesham Parish Church.
• The proposed pool site is too close to the boundary and approximately only 15 metres away from the south door of the church. Noise and activities, normal for a swimming pool, could be intrusive and inappropriate to the environment and setting of the Grade 1 listed church building and burial ground.
• The curtilage boundary is indistinct.
• Screening and sound barriers should be stipulated by CDC Planning Department and be part of any permission.
• In conservation areas, pools are stated to be considered together with outbuildings. The area of such in this curtilage (garage, bothy and pool) at distance from the house appears from the sketch drawings submitted, to exceed the 10 square metres maximum by a considerable amount.
5.6 SI/09/02380/PLD Littleacre, Keynor Lane. Proposed use for conservatory to utility block.
PC decision ‘Object’. Reason:- The utility block was permitted (on appeal) for washing purposes only. The addition of a conservatory to it would convert the block into living accommodation, contrary to the permitted use.
6 Planning appeal
6.1 SI/09/02498/COU Greenacres Nursery, Keynor Lane. Appeal against CDC decision to not grant permanent permission for a mobile home. The Parish Council decided the Clerk should write to the Planning Inspectorate objecting to the appeal, expressing support for the District Council decision and stating that the PC view is still as stated in the response of 20 August; that temporary planning permission for a mobile home is more suitable for the situation.
