RECOMMENDATION - GRANT

Minutes:

Outline application with all matters reserved for the erection of 1no two storey dwelling (C3) to adjoin existing dwelling at 7 Belle Vue Cottages.

 

Officer introduction

 

(1)          The Principal Planning Officer, Gareth Giles, introduced the application and gave a presentation by reference to location plans, indicative elevational drawings, indicative floorplans and photographs. He stated that all matters were reserved and therefore the main consideration in the determination of the application related to the principle of the development of a 1 no. two storey dwelling (C3) at the site. Nine representations had been received objecting to the scheme.

 

Questions to the Planning Officer

 

(2)          Councillor Miller noted that other buildings appeared to be being extended on the road which suggested the principle of building between plots in the area had been established and asked what schemes had been given permission on the road.

 

(3)          The Planning Officer stated that they had no record of any applications being made on the road apart from BH2018/01545 and that if work was being done it either did not need permission or was being done without permission. Officers suggested the Planning Enforcement would need to investigate.

 

(4)          Councillor Miller noted that a window was being lost and asked what this served.

 

(5)          The Planning Officer stated that the window was from the donor house and so the applicant had accepted the loss.

 

Debate and decision making process

 

(6)          Councillor Wares stated that he was concerned about the precedent which was being set by the application and understood the fears neighbours had raised in their objections. For this reason he would not be supporting the Officer’s recommendation.

 

(7)          Councillor Page stated that it was an unusual site and the application represented a logical use of space to provide more housing in the city. He did not feel that the application would significantly change the character of an area.

 

(8)          On of vote of 8 For and 2 Against the Committee agreed to grant planning permission.

 

31.9    RESOLVED: That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in the report and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives detailed in the report.
