Erection of three bedroom residential dwelling with parking and associated works

RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

Erection of three bedroom residential dwelling with parking and associated works.

1)               The Planning Manager introduced the application and gave a presentation by reference to plans, photographs and elevational drawings. The application was sought for a two storey dwelling with parking and associated works. An amendment had been received to the application moving the property further back from the highway which would ensure that it would be built in line with the existing properties. It was not felt that the proposal would have a detrimental effect to the street scene or to the amenity of neighbouring occupiers. The application was recommended for approval for the reasons set out in the report.

Questions for the Officers

2)               In response to Councillor C. Theobald the Planning Manager explained that there was a slight difference in ground level and condition 13 required details of levels on the site and on adjoining land and buildings to be approved by the Local Planning Authority before the development commenced.

3)               The Planning Manager explained to Councillor Miller that it was unlikely a larger proposal would be recommended for approval as it would affect the street scene detrimentally.

4)               It was clarified to Councillor C. Theobald that the driveway of the proposed property was 24 metres from the junction. The Development and Transport Assessment Manager added that there were no highway concerns in relation to the proposed development.

5)               A vote was taken by the 11 Members present and the Officer recommendation that the Committee grant planning permission was carried with 10 in support and 1 against.

18.8       RESOLVED – That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in section 11 of the report and the policies and guidance in section 7 and resolves to GRANT planning permission.

Note: Councillor Hyde was not present for the consideration and vote on the application.
