Thank you, Tegan.
I'll have any questions for the officer.
Councillor Mabry.
Thank you, Chair.
Regarding the battle off, I'm just trying to imagine it.
Will there be access to the battle off from the human residents of the house?
I mean, is it part of the loft of the house, or is it completely separate and completely inaccessible to people?
My understanding is that it won't be accessible, but I can throw to Sue who to my colleague from ecology.
So everyone, can you hear me? Good.
Yes, it's really important that the battle off is only accessible at appropriate times under a license, and therefore the batch will be safe.
So there will be measures in place that physically there's access, but it will be permanently locked and only accessible when appropriate.
Thank you.
Councillor Matering.
Yes, thank you. My question is, well, I have two questions, but the first one is, where are the bats now?
Or are they now? Are they in that roof, or have they been moved or whatever?
I could pass to Sue again. Thank you.
Very sensible question. Bats will roost in different places at different times of the year, so a property like this would usually support mummy and baby bats.
But because of the building works, I suspect they will be elsewhere at this point in time, but because they are very faithful to their sites, they will be looking to come back as soon as it's available to them.
So they're not there at the moment, but they do use other properties at other times of the year and possibly even trees.
Thank you, not to be flippant, but there are holidays somewhere else, type of thing.
Thank you.
My other question to the planning officer who may need to revert it is, looking at those tiles, do we have any where lichen on those tiles?
Sorry, I don't know the answer. Are you able to help Sue?
Not as far as I'm aware, no.
Any more questions?
Councillor Hoe?
I need educating bats.
What's it like living with a bat loft?
Most for humans, that is, not the bats, obviously.
Sorry, I appreciate your question, yes.
Most roost owners, i.e. people, don't even know they've got bats in there.
They're usually only awake at night when hopefully we're all fast asleep, but there's not very many of them.
This particular roost is a brown long head roost.
There's probably only about a dozen bats, so not very many of them.
Not making very much noise at all.
Most householders who have bat roosts in their roost don't even know they're there, so.
Thank you.
I hope that makes your mind up, and whether the support, can I have a proposal from you now, perhaps, too?
Or, nobody else seems to want to ask questions.
You want a proposal?
Yep.
Before I do that, I'm just a bit surprised at taking this comment that come forward with this.
This application has been dragged on for so long, I'm just a bit surprised to sort of pick up on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth time we've had applications for it.
But, that put aside, I see no reason to object to this.
It's something that needs to be done.
We need to move the project forward and look forward to hopefully people moving in at some point.
So, yeah, I'm happy to propose the application as in the office's report.
Thank you.
Can I have a second?
Councillor Wyman.
Thank you.
Any more discussion than anyone wants to get on with?
If not, I'll ask the player to organise a vote.
Thank you, Chair, members, that vote is now in full regret.
Thank you, members, Chair.
That's nine votes for that's carried.
Thank you very much.
Now, moving on, DC 23, 05, 6, 6, old, maybe of district council offices.
Thank you.
Thank you, Chair.
So, this is the second application of the two.
This is for number 21, Bridge Street, which is just to the east of the cottage we've just seen.
This is for re-rooping works.
And this is the site area just identifying the building in relation to the other buildings on site.
So, you can see it's on the corner of Bridge Street and Corks Lane.
And again, the site area identifying the building.
And here you can see this property is grade two star listed and the remainder of the properties are grade two on the site.
And it's also within the conservation area.
Here we're looking at building number three to the right-hand side of this site plan.
This is historic England's list description, grade two star listed building, probably 17th century in date,
but with 18th century brickwork on the exterior, which is quite an interesting detail to the property.
Again, this is grade two star and it's most prominent on the site because it's on that one position.
So, perhaps slightly more sensitive in heritage terms.
This is a street scene taken from 2013 before any works began.
So you can see the building. This is from Bridge Street.
This is the corner aspect.
So you can see to the left-hand side Corks Lane runs down to the left.
And the reroofing is for the front elevation, the rear elevation and the wings to the rear of the building.
This aerial photo again shows the roofs in question and starts to identify the condition.
We've got some close-up photos in a moment just showing the condition of the tiles.
These are in quite poor condition. You can see again lots of spalling there.
And in the back you've got some tiles in the valleys that have slipped.
And here you can see a couple of internal photos as well where you can see the water ingress from the roof,
presumably from the roof coverings failing.
And this is the roof plan identifying the roofs to be reroofed.
Originally the scheme was to just reuse tiles on the red area, which is the front elevation.
But since that first was proposed, the cottage proposal came along and we negotiated to propose reuse of tiles from the cottage.
And from number 21 to reroof number 21 fully with reclaimed, we thought this was the most sensitive approach,
given its grey two-star listing and prominent position.
So now it's all reclaimed tiles, so hopefully it will look fairly coherent.
Here are some elevations identifying the roofs in question, so you've got the front and the right-hand side.
And the left-hand side and the rear of the property.
So this photo is also taken from the cottage. These are the tiles that were salvaged from the cottage to be reused here.
And these photos show the reroofing works completed, so this is the front elevation and the front roof slope.
And the works in progress in the rear valleys.
And again the rear and the side. So you can see that it looks quite consistent throughout now.
And this is just a summary again from the heritage team that the evidence of the condition was clear,
so the scope of the work was justified and we felt that the reuse of the tiles was appropriate here
to preserve a special interest of the grey two-star listed building and no harm was identified.
And from ecology there was no ecological objection, there was no batteries at this building,
so there was sufficient information in the application to come to a decision.
And then Hadley Town Council agreed to support the application, the Hadley Society raised no objection
and historic England raised no comments.
And again a summary of the joint local plan policies and the considerations of the site.
Again the main point from a heritage point of view is the grey two-star listing of the building
and its contribution to the character of the conservation area.
And again these are additional repairs in association with the redevelopment of the site.
And the recommendation is for approval of listed building consent. Thank you.
Thank you Tegan. Any questions for the officer?
No, in that case can I have a proposal to accept the officer's recommendation?
President Mayberry, please seconder please.
Councillor DARREN, thank you.
Any more comments before we go to a vote?
No, in that case I'll ask Claire to take us to the vote.
Thank you, Chair, members, that vote is in progress.
[ Pause ]
Thank you, members, that's nine, sorry, yes, sorry, nine votes for Councillors' vote here, thank you.
Thank you, that's passed.
The next meeting will be on the 20th of July.
I now formally close the meeting.
Sorry.
