7. New Planning Application for Discussion
7.1 SI/17/03364/FUL - Windward Nursery Chalk Lane Sidlesham PO20 7LW
Demolition of an existing glasshouse and erection of a two-storey detached dwelling and machinery store/carport.
The Parish Council strongly objects to this Planning Application. The Council’s view is that glasshouses should not be considered suitable buildings for conversion; they have minimal foundations and should not be treated in the same way as other agricultural buildings such as sheds and barns. The LSA horticultural heritage is being destroyed in an HDA. In addition, the PC considered the design of the building unsympathetic with the surrounding area. The PC will discuss the issue of agricultural conversions with the Director of Planning at CDC and will include Chichester’s Member of Parliament in the discussion. All agreed.
7.2 SI/17/03478/FUL - Windward Nursery Chalk Lane Sidlesham Chichester
Proposed structural, internal, fenestration and roof alterations including installation of pv panel array and 9 no. roof lights.
The PC has no objection to this application but would like the condition imposed that the building be for business use only and will not be converted to residential accommodation. All agreed.
7.3 SI/17/03519/FUL & SI/17/03520/LBC - Highleigh Lodge, Highleigh Road Sidlesham PO20 7NR
Retrospective change of use of outbuilding permitted for studio/gym under SI/14/01505/DOM to self-contained annex for tourist accommodation.
The PC has no objection to this Application on condition that the outbuilding will remain ancillary to the main house and the property will not be subdivided. Unanimous decision.
7.4 SI/17/03589/FUL - 82 Fletchers Lane Sidlesham PO20 7QG
Erection of 1 no. dwelling by the devision of an existing residential plot.
The Parish Council objects to this application. This is an application for a new building, not a replacement or conversion of an agricultural building. Sidlesham has a policy which does not allow new building in the parish: only replacement buildings on the footprint of existing buildings or small scale social housing are permitted. All agreed.
7.5 SI/17/03665/FUL - 84 Fletchers Lane Sidlesham PO20 7QG
Change of use from B8 [storage] to C3 [dwellinghouse] and external changes to building that has change of use permitted under Class P Prior Approval for Change of Use from Class B8 (Storage) to Class C3 (Dwellinghouse) under SI/17/03340/PA3P.
The Parish Council maintains its view that this building is inappropriate for conversion but has no objection to the design of the proposed building. All agreed.
