5. Erection of an enclosure over existing swimming pool with connecting corridor to existing dwelling, Lumby Court, Butts Lane, Lumby –This building will look out of place purely because of its nature. Trees must be planted to hide the view. If the wall side of windows can be seen from the road maybe the amount of windows could be reduced. The side walls east/west must be in stone. The east side will look out of place with the top windows. Can this be completely stoned to the rooftop? Would the walk way look more in keeping if it was stone and not coloured render? Stainless steel balustrade would be more in keeping if black.
6.Repair existing wall and erect new steel railing above, Lumby Court, Butts Lane, Lumby - The PC have objections to this planning application. They feel that the stone columns will look out of place unless reclaimed or similar stone to the existing wall is used. The new design may look out of place. Will the existing wall support columns and steel railings? This area does flood! Steel railings must always be painted black and kept to high standard as this is in the centre of Lumby. The changes to the wall will change the look of the Hamlet. Does Lumby as a community need to be informed?
