Minutes:

There was one pre-submitted Public Question -

I would like to ask the committee to, either directly or via the wider council, to request that the Government uses the proposed Planning and Infrastructure Bill (as announced in the King's Speech - https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/the-kings-speech-2024 ) to amend the law to ensure that there is no ambiguity regarding the planning status of houseboats, where they are either 'like for like replacement' or 'on-site construction'.

 

The Interim Head of Planning and Development replied -

I agree with the speaker, the planning law for houseboats is ambiguous. There are no national rules for them so we could all benefit from greater clarity. Regarding when we are able to lobby the government on this point, we do have the planning bill out now which has a specific set of questions for us to answer which, unsurprisingly, doesn’t include houseboats but I suspect, following on from that, there may be changes to the General Permitted Development Order and at that point we could ask for greater clarity for houseboats to be included specifically.

 

There was one non-pre-submitted Public Question (on behalf of AREA) -

The Panattoni building on the airfield now has a large ‘To Let’ sign displayed on it. AREA understands that this would need planning permission, particularly as it is facing a conservation area. Has planning permission already been granted for the sign?

 

The Interim Head of Planning and Development replied -

I think it would be advertisement consent, rather than planning permission, if it was needed. We were made aware of this complaint late last week and I have a meeting at the airport next week. I will raise this issue at that meeting and report back if any permissions are required.
