Doncaster Borough Council Tree Preservation Order (No.407) 2018 Mexborough Day Centre, Harlington Road, Mexborough, S64 0QG pdf icon PDF 302 KB

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report which sought approval to confirm a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) (No.407) 2018 for Mexborough Day Centre, Harlington Road, Mexborough, S64 0QG. It was reported that the site had recently been subject to development pressure as part of the 18/01021/PREAPP and 18/02922/OUTM planning applications for 36 dwellings.

 

The report detailed that the Council had made the TPO, covering one common Lime, two false Acacia, eight Norway Maples, one Himalayan Birch and one Hornbeam on the 20th December 2019. The trees were protected as five individual trees and one group. This followed the Council’s comments made at the time of the 18/01021/PREAPP application to the effect that the proposed development scheme appears to have given little or no regard to the existing trees on the site, which would result in an unacceptable loss of trees which would be significantly detrimental to the appearance of the area.

 

Provisional effect of the TPO took place on 20th December 2018 and must be confirmed by 20th June 2019 to remain in force. It was advised that there had been one objection to the TPO from the developer, SPV Mexborough Ltd.

 

In accordance with Planning Guidance ‘Having Your Say at Planning Committee’, Mr Mohammed Farid spoke in opposition to the Tree Preservation Order (N0.407) 2018 for the duration of up to 5 minutes.

 

It was subsequently MOVED by Councillor Iris Beech and SECONDED by Councillor Eva Hughes that the Tree Preservation Order (No.407) be confirmed.

 

A vote was taken on the proposal made by Councillor Iris Beech which was declared as follows:-

 

For                  -           7

Against          -           0

Abstain          -           0

 

On being put to the meeting the proposal made by Councillor Iris Beech and seconded by Councillor Eva Highes be CARRIED.

 

RESOLVED that the TPO (No.407) Mexborough Day Centre, Harlington Road, Mexborough, S64 0QG be confirmed without modification.

Attero HGV Park Planning Permission - Position Statement. pdf icon PDF 357 KB

Minutes:

The Committee received a report which updated Members on the consideration of the temporary Attero (the operator) HGV Park under Planning Reference 16/02386/COUM.

 

As Members will be aware a the temporary planning permission was granted at the 11th December Planning meeting and that permission was time limited for 6 months, meaning the permission would expire on 11th June 2019.

 

It was reported that the default position following the expiry of the temporary permission for the lorry park is that the use ceases and, where necessary, enforcement action is taken against the operator. However, in light of the significant risks, associated with distributing the significant risks, associated with the operator, a number of options for the lorry park have been considered. These options were:-

 

·         Invite an application to extend the use of the current lorry park for a limited time period, to allow the EA to consider the environmental permit application;

 

·         Do not invite a further application and consider enforcement options for the further use of the temporary lorry park; or

 

·         Explore options for relocating a temporary lorry park, preferably away from residential areas.

 

Members were advised that the views of the local community were being sought on the above options which includes consultation with Rossington Parish Council, Community Liaison Officer, Ward Members and local residents in the vicinity of the site. Following the results of the consultation process, Legal will be consulted and a decision will be made on which option is most suitable.

 

It was noted that the Local Planning Authority would continue to work with the Environment Agency to ensure that the conditions of the environmental permit and the planning permission are aligned to ensure they are robust.

 

            RESOLVED that the contents of the report be noted.
