Portacabins to rear of building to provide storage facilities and or W.C's

Refusal Reasons

• ✗The introduction of what are temporary building for what would appear to be a permanent and long-term need would be unsatisfactory in terms of: 1) the location of the temporary buildings in a generally unsupervised and dark location which could invite anti-social behaviour and undermine the enjoyment of the residential properties alongside the site and 2) the provision of additional storage and/or toilet facilities in a building separate from the main structure and the inconvenience involved therewith. 3) the installation of the two portacabins will result in the removal of an established tree which contributes, with the others on this and adjacent sites, to the backdrop to the Memorial Hall and the amenities of the village as a whole. Whilst the Planning Committee appreciates the need for the provision of additional storage facilities on the site, the Committee would prefer the provision of permanent facilities as a properly designed extension to the Hall which would probably not result in the loss of any trees. As such the loss of the tree would result from a short-term and temporary solution to this problem. It is not clear from the information provided why additional toilet facilities should be provided in the temporary buildings and how this would work in practice in conjunction with the main use of the hall. Note: the Planning Committee would recommend the provision of permanent storage facilities joined to the main building and of an appropriate design.
