Sprinkler equipment extension at 31B Humberston Avenue, Humberston

“Principle of Development The application site is within the development area of Humberston (Policy 5) and therefore Part 1 of Policy 5 of the North East Lincolnshire Local Plan 2013-2032 (Adopted 2018) applies. Policy 5 does not preclude the extension or alteration of a dwelling, in principle, within the defined development boundaries. It is therefore considered in principle that the proposed development is acceptable subject to the site- specific impacts discussed below. 2.”

“The location of the works has been specifically chosen due to the technical and operational requirements to allow for effective usage of the required system. The extension would be positioned to the front of the host property which is to the south of the plot. The extension would be of a single storey height only with similar design characteristics, which ensures an acceptable scale and design against the existing dwelling.”

“Humberston Village Council - Objects due to works commencing, noise impacts, proximity to the boundary, location of works, contradicts with previous approval and that the development is out of keeping. Highways Team - Approval no conditions. Environmental Health - No comment. Heritage Officer - No input required. Ecology Officer - Exempt from BNG, no known ecological issues.”

“There would be no openings installed to face this neighbour. The neighbour has objected to the works on the grounds of the work already starting, the proximity to the boundary, potential noise and disturbance, impact to their residential amenity and that there are better alternative locations available within the site. It is noted that the works have commenced on site, in the form of the plinth, and this has been documented in this report.”

“Councillor Bright stated that one of the objections outlined that no acoustic information had been provided about the pump system. He asked whether that information could be secured via a condition.”

“[name withheld] responded that an additional condition could be added requiring that acoustic detail be provided.”

“Councillor Hudson proposed that the application be approved with conditions and the additional condition.”

“(Note - the committee voted unanimously for the application to be approved with conditions.)”
