Agenda item - BH2013/01505 - 162 Woodland Drive, Hove - Full Planning Permission

Demolition of existing bungalow and erection of 2no five bedroom dwellings (Part retrospective)

RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

Demolition of existing bungalow and erection of 2no five bedroom dwellings (Part retrospective)

(1)                   The Area Planning Manager introduced the application and gave a presentation by reference to photographs plans and elevational drawings. The site related to a partially developed piece of land on Woodland Drive, and the history of the site was outlined in the report. The application was for two 2 storey buildings and a series of revisions and alterations to the previously approved scheme; these including: the roof space; roof lights; additional windows and doors; removal of a front entrance canopy and patio doors; the removal of a garage to create additional living space and the addition of a Juliet balcony. The current scheme was similar to the previous approval and the amended height and changes were considered acceptable. They were sufficiently far from the existing flats to mitigate concerns in relation to neighbouring amenity. For the reasons set out in the report the application was recommended for approval.

(2)                   A vote was taken and planning permission was unanimously granted.

56.11    RESOLVED – That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in paragraph 11 and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the conditions and informatives set in the report.

              Note: Councillor Wakefield was not present at the meeting, and Councillor Robins had left the meeting during the consideration and vote on this application.
