PROPOSED ADOPTION FOR THE LOCAL LISTED BUILDING CONSENT ORDER FOR RESIDENTIAL HOUSE THAT ARE GRADE II LISTED IN PORT SUNLIGHT VILLAGE CONSERVTION AREA PDF 79 KB
Additional documents:
Minutes:
A Report by the Assistant Chief Executive
provided an update to the Report of the Strategic Director of
Regeneration and Environment presented to the Planning Committee on
17 September which sought permission to consult on a proposed
Listed Building Consent Order (LLBCO), for the Port Sunlight
Conservation Area. Members were informed that, following their
consent, a consultation process had now been completed and
responses were included in an appendix to the report.
Members were advised that Local Listed
Building Consent Orders (LLBCOs) were introduced through the
Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (ERRA 2014) which gave
Local Planning Authorities powers to make Legal Orders granting
general Listed Building Consent for certain alterations (but not
demolitions) to specified listed buildings. Members were informed
that the measures were intended to simplify the development and
management of listed buildings and came into force in April
2014.
Members heard how the Council had been working
with Port Sunlight Village Trust (PSVT), with the support of
Historic England to develop the LLBCO for specific buildings in the
Port Sunlight Conservation Areas.
It was explained that the purpose of this
LLBCO is to:
i.
Streamline and clarify the consent process for the most common
listed building consent applications for owners in Port Sunlight
Village;
ii.
provide clear and reliable information to empower property owners
to address enforcement issues;
iii.
reduce capacity issues on the Council by
reducing time spent on reviewing repetitive listed building consent
applications.
Members heard how the consultation process
work began on 18 September 2015 whereby consultation letters were
sent out. At the same time, ten Site Notices were posted on
lampposts within the area and additional site notices were posted
in village bulletin boards and the Port Sunlight Village Trustees.
Members were then advised that there were also two consultation
events held in Port Sunlight village; the first on 7th October from
1:30 – 3:30pm and the second on 22nd October from
5:30 – 7:30pm, during which, a total of 25 residents
attended. It was explained that the consultation exercise was
largely positive and comments were summarised within the
report.
It was explained how it is a requirement that
the proposed order would be subject to continuous monitoring to
assess its effectiveness and the Council would consider annual
reports on the progress of the LLBC.
Councillor Mitchell addressed the Committee to
thank officers for all their hard work through the consultation
process and subsequent preparation of the report. This was endorsed
by the Committee.
Councillor Leech further praised Officers for
their work and identified to the Committee that if approved, Wirral
be the lead Authority in the implementation of a LLBCO.
Resolved (12:0):
That the Local
Listed Building Consent Order for Port Sunlight be adopted for a
period of ten years.
