Issue - meetings

Restoration of Committee Room and associated works following the removal of a number of partition walls and the removal of false ceilings and associated works under previous approved application number 18/01498/LBC.

It was reported that this listed building consent planning application had been referred to the Planning Committee as the applicant was Tendring District Council.

The Committee had before it the published Officer report containing the key planning issues, relevant planning policies, planning history, any response from consultees, written representations received and a recommendation of approval.

At the meeting, an oral presentation was made by the Council’s Planning Team Leader (TF) in respect of the application.

An update sheet had been circulated to the Committee prior to the meeting with details of an amendment to paragraph 6.10.

Following discussion by the Committee, it was moved by Councillor Cawthron, seconded by Councillor Bray and unanimously RESOLVED that consideration of this application be deferred for the following reasons:

·        Scheme refinement and better drawings to be provided.

·        Further thought to be given to the form and detailing of the roof light as the Committee do not consider the black perspex panels proposed within the roof light to be sensitive to the heritage asset.

·        Further consideration to be given to lighting and ability to introduce natural light.
