RECOMMENDATION – MINDED TO GRANT

Erection of 4no two storey dwellings (C3) with off-street parking, associated landscaping works and re-surfacing of access road.

(1)             The Area Planning Manager Nicola Hurley introduced the application and gave a presentation by reference to photographs, plans and elevational drawings. The area was located south of the terrace at Kimberley Road, and had previously housed 34 garages. Permission had been granted in 2010 for 4 dwellings, and since the approval the permission had lapsed. The application was the same as the previous permission. There would be no undue loss of light; the design was considered appropriate as well as the materials and the standard of the accommodation. The application was recommended for approval for the reasons set out in the report.

Questions for Officers, Debate and Decision Making Process

(2)             In response to Councillor Duncan the Senior Solicitor, Hilary Woodward, explained that comments made by the East Sussex Fire & Rescue about the access related to matters of Building Control which formed a separate regime to planning. The requirements of the Building Control regime would have to be satisfied as part of the build process.

(3)             A vote was taken on the Officer recommendation that the Committee be minded to grant planning permission and this was carried on a vote of 11 in support with 1 against.

201.3    RESOLVED - That the Committee has taken into consideration the recommendation and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in section 11 and, as amended, accurate plans had been received, resolved to GRANT planning permission subject to conditions and informatives.
