    P/561 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST

    Cllrs. Peter Whiteman and Terry Goldstone declared a general personal interest on the
    basis that they are employed in the building industry.

    P/562 MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING AND MATTERS ARISING

    The minutes of the last meeting held on 14th April 2011 were agreed and signed as a
    correct record. The Assistant Clerk updated Members on the latest position on certain
    related matters including a response for the local IWC Ward Member to our comments
    on the application to demolish the fire damaged pavilion at Seaclose Park and replace it
    with a portakabin. Following a discussion the Assistant Clerk was asked to make
    specific enquiries with IWC about the condition of the damaged building; the existence
    of a structural engineers report; estimates for repair/renovation work and evidence of
    any investigations into alternative funding.

    P/563 LICENSING APPLICATIONS

    Ref:70348. License Application at North Fairlee Farm, off Fairlee Road.

    Members considered this application at the last meeting (14/4) having been advised
    that this was not in connection with the Isle of Wight Festival but a separate event
    planned for two days over a weekend in mid-July. Members were advised by the
    Assistant Clerk that the application had been amended to a three day event but for only
    one year and, therefore, that they had the opportunity to reconsider the matter.
    PAPER D

    Members expressed some scepticism at the precise nature of the event particularly as
    local residents have to suffer up to three weeks serious inconvenience during the Pop
    Festival already. This observation, together with the initial comments, were conveyed to
    the Licensing Officer

    P/564 RECENTLY LODGED APPEALS AND LATEST DECISIONS

    None to report.

    P/565 PLANNING APPLICATIONS

    P/00475/11…5 Nightingale Road

    Members were familiar with the area and the location of this property. Members took the
    view that there was objection in principle to a two storey rear extension and therefore
    the key considerations related to scale, appearance and the likely impact on
    neighbouring properties. They were satisfied that overall size and design of the addition
    was acceptable and as the only (main) first floor window looked directly out onto the
    rear garden that none of the neighbouring properties in Swallow Close or Fieldfare
    Road would suffer any loss of amenity sufficient to amount to a sustainable objection. In
    this context the view was that the proposal complies with the relevant ‘saved’ local
    policies and the approved Supplementary Planning Guidance. Consequently Members
    were happy to raise NO OBJECTION SUBJECT TO the imposition of appropriate
    conditions requiring the use of quality matching materials and the withdrawal of specific
    ‘permitted development’ rights to ensure that additional openings at first floor level
    cannot be installed at a later date without the prior consent of the LPA.

    P/00461/11, P/00462/11 & P/00463/11…24A Holyrood Street

    Members were familiar with the premises having dealt with previous applications for
    commercial related uses. Some Members expressed a degree of genuine concern
    about the proliferation of drinking establishments (A4) in the immediate vicinity and
    whether this was contributing to occasional anti-social behaviour in the area, although
    they recognised that this not likely to be a sustainable objection to the application
    unless the Police Authority have similar reservations. That said, this appears to be a
    modest traditional based venture aimed at a mature clientele with the obvious benefit
    that the change of use, if approved, will lead to partial restoration and maintenance of
    an important listed building in a prime location just off the High Street. In the
    circumstances, on balance, Members are prepared to raise NO OBJECTION SUBJECT
    TO adequate controls and the imposition of appropriate conditions in terms of time
    restrictions, public access and use of outside space to ensure that the proposed use
    does not adversely effect the privacy and amenities of nearby residential properties,
    particularly those to the rear accessed from Holyrood Street.
    In terms of the proposed sign due consideration must be given to the listed status of the
    building and the location in a designated Conservation Area. Members view is that a
    projecting hanging sign is appropriate from an aesthetic perspective and that a degree
    of external illumination is acceptable because of the location off the High Street and the
    nature of the proposed use. However, they expect the sign to be in traditional materials
    (wood, not an inappropriate alternative is specified in the application) and professionally
    finished, preferably hand painted.

    P/00509/11…Firwood, Forest Road


    Notwithstanding the isolated location and the distance from the road Members had
    specific concerns about this application on the basis that the submitted scheme does
    not offer the best solution from an aesthetic perspective in terms of design and likely
    appearance. While there is no objection to a sizeable single storey side extension to
    PAPER D

    improve the living accommodation, the view was that the shape, design and difficulty in
    using appropriate matching materials (due to the shallow roof pitch) amounts to a
    sustainable OBJECTION to the application and rather than refusing permission officers
    should explore with the agent how this maybe overcome to effect a better design
    solution.

    P/566 PLANNING NOTICES

    The Committee noted recent decisions that had been received.

    P/567 ANY OTHER PLANNING RELATED MATTERS

    Members were given advance notice that they would have the opportunity to consider
    the Final Draft Core Strategy, or Island Plan, at the next meeting on 12th May 2011..

    QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE

    TC asked if there had been any progress on the installation of uPVC windows on a
    premises in Carisbrooke High Street. He was advised that the Assistant Clerk would
    make further enquiries and report back.
    MC asked the Chairman if she was aware of her pleasure at the quality of the work
    done by CH and the Committee and the eventual outcome in commenting on the
    licensing application for the Isle of Wight Festival.
    LP asked if there had been any progress in respect of inquiries about the unauthorised
    use of a (vehicular) access outside Temptations in St.James Street. The Assistant Clerk
    said he would make further inquiries.
    SF raised an issue in relation about an architectural moulding that had become
    detached from the ‘Santander’ premises on the corner of St.James Street and Pyle
    Street. The Assistant Clerk said he would contact the Conservation Officer.

    CLOSE OF MEETING

    The next meeting was confirmed as Thursday 12th May 2011 at 6.30pm.
    The meeting closed at 7.33pm.
