Agenda item

The Planning Team Leader:

a)    advised that the application sought listed building consent for the installation of CCTV cameras to the interior and exterior of Lincoln Central Market, Sincil Street, Lincoln, a grade II listed building

b)    reported the location of the site within the Cathedral City Centre and Conservation Area No 1

c)    advised that the application was brought before Planning Committee as the Central Market was owned by the City of Lincoln Council as the applicant

d)    highlighted that the CCTV cameras were part of the wider redevelopment and refurbishment of the Central Market building which was nearing completion

e)    provided details of the policies pertaining to the application, as follows:

·       National Planning Policy Framework      

·       Policy S57: The Historic Environment

f)      provided details of the issues to be assessed in relation to the planning application, as follows:

·       Local and National Planning Policy

·       Effect on the Special Architectural Character and Historic Interest of the Listed Building

g)    outlined the responses made to the consultation exercise

h)    advised that it was initially proposed that the third camera would be slightly larger than the others providing views of Sincil Street and City Square, manufactured with a white finish, however the white finish was considered to be an inappropriate response to the listed building setting resulting in an overly prominent feature

i)      reported that a revised camera design had now been secured, to be fixed via a swan neck bracket which would be attached to the rear of the parapet of the market building, both the camera and bracket finished in black to tie in with the style and colour of the other two cameras on the west elevation of the building

j)      concluded that:

·       The revised proposal was considered to be in accordance with the duty contained within section 16 (2) of the Planning (Listed building and Conservation Areas Act) 1990, in considering whether to grant listed building consent for any works the LPA or SoS shall have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses.
