Officer report
The site
The site is about 0.97 hectares of former grassland with trees and hedges, where construction of the approved housing development has started.
“The application site is located on land adjacent to South View in Humberston. It is approximately 0.97 hectares in area and originally comprised of open grass land, a number of trees and hedges. Following the grant of planning permission for 10 houses in 2024 (ref. no. DM/1052/23/FUL) development has commenced on site. A number of the plots have already had their designs varied formally.”
“The site is allocated within the NELLP for residential development HOU082 under Policy 13. The site is also located within Flood Zone 1 area which is the least vulnerable flood…”
Officer report
Planning history
The site was approved for 10 detached houses in 2024, followed by several permissions varying individual house designs, most recently for plots 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
“DM/0205/25/FUL Variation of Condition 11 (Approved Plans) following DM/0771/24/FUL to amend house designs for plots: 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 (This application consolidates into one, various individual planning applications which were submitted and previously consulted on to change various plot and house designs separately.”
“DM/0585/24/NMA Minor amendments to the house designs of Plots 3 and 4 including: Plot 3 - Alteration of window designs, reduction in height and depth and change in materials and Plot 4 removal of detached garage and replacement with integral garage within house, removal of single storey wing to side and reduction in width and swimming pool reorientation, pursuant to DM/1052/23/FUL. Approved 05.08.2024.”
Officer report
Why officers recommended approval
Officers considered the changes would not substantially alter the development’s appearance, harm neighbouring amenity, create unacceptable drainage impacts or represent overdevelopment.
“4) Drainage The site has been approved previously and an acceptable surface water drainage scheme agreed. As with the most recent previous approval, ref. no. DM/0205/25/FUL, the applicant seeks to maintain the previously agreed drainage design approach. This is based on a porous estate road which links to the northern ditch to the front of the site.”
“The proposed amendments to the house designs and layouts at plots: 1 and 5 remain part of a wider development that has previously been found to be acceptable. Whilst the specific changes noted are considered material and would alter the impact on the surrounding area, these impacts are not considered unacceptable. Equally, in overall…”
Officer report
Consultation responses
Humberston Village Council objected over character, scale and overdevelopment, while highways, trees, ecology and other consultees raised no objection or made no comment.
“Humberston Village Council: Objects to the development as it is against the development of the site as a whole, but also considers the dwellings proposed to be out of character and scale with the surrounding area. The Village Council also considers the scheme to represent an over development of the site.”
“Anglian Water: Having reviewed the submitted documents - no comment.”
Officer report
