Listed Building Consent for Conversion of existing buildings (Sui Generis) to 5no residential apartments (C3 dwelling houses)

The Peacock, 10 High Street, Kirton, Boston PE20 1EG

The Deputy Development Manager presented the report confirming it was for the site of the previous application and sought listest buring consennt for the conversion.

The application has been called-in to Committee by a Councillor utilising the Scheme of Delegation mechanism due to concerns regarding number of units and overdevelopment of the site leading to pressures in terms of quality of accommodation and amenity for future residents ad concerns regarding parking provision (Policy 36)

The site is a Grade II Listed former public house, known as The Peacock, located on High Street in the village of Kirton. The building is a two-story mid-terraced property, with a coaching arch providing access to the rear and yard. The building is currently vacant and is understood to have ceased trading as a public house since 2012. The site is also within Kirton Conservation Area and forms the setting of Grade I Listed St Peter and Pauls Church. The proposal is for the conversion of the building and outbuilding from a public house to 5no self-contained flats. It is proposed to demolish the more modern (circa 1980s) rear extension as part of the proposals. The proposals are for internal alterations including removal of unsympathetic modern partition walls to return the building to its original plan form, removal of the bar (a modern addition), installation of a new staircase and other refurbishment works to create 5no flats. There are a small amount of new walls proposed, to create bathrooms. The main external alterations are to the rear of the building, with the removal of recent additions that form toilets, creation of a new access door, and new doors to the rear where the modern extensions are removed. The front elevation is to remain unchanged.

No public representation was received in respect of this application.

Committee deliberation followed which included:

Full support of the application which members agreed was entirely appropriate in order to retain the façade and to keep it sympathetic.

A member questioned the possibility of shot blasting the front of the building to remove the existing paint, stating that historically the Council had to take enforcement action when at one point the building had been painted either pink or cream.

The Assistant Director advised that it would be possible to expand condition 8 to include wording to address the brickwork.

It was moved by Councillor Jonathon Noble and seconded by Councillor Peter Bedford that the application be granted in line with officer recommendation subject to the reason and conditions therein and subject to an expansion of condition 8 to include wording to address the brickwork

Vote: In Favour 9. Against 0 Abstention 0
