RE: Replacement Garden Shed and relocated Oil Tank

The application is for a replacement shed and relocation of oil tank.
The applicant has provided a site plan illustrating the proposed location of the shed and tank.
We have reviewed our files and the site is on land seen developed for the duration of our records. The surrounding landscape is largely residential and agricultural.

As an oil tank is noted to be moved during redevelopment, we recommend the following informative.

The proposed development may include removal or relocation of a domestic heating oil tank. If the tank and associated pipework are not managed appropriately spillages could occur, which depending on severity may lead to the land becoming contaminated and requiring remediation. Professional advice should be sought when undertaking works related to heating oil tanks, advice can be found at www.gov.uk/oil-storage-regulations-and-safety/home

Kind Regards,

Thank you for consulting the conservation team on this application.

This property is located within the South Creake conservation area and currently, the house and garden make a positive contribution to the character of the area and the street scene.

The conservation team have no objection to the relocation of the oil tank and the replacement garden shed. However, the plans show a parking area for two vehicles at the front of the site, which is currently garden land.

I would therefore request more details about this proposal including any trees which will have to be removed to facilitate this plan, and what effect the removal of the garden at the front of the site will have on the character of the area and the street scene.
