Minutes:
Two two-storey, four-bed, semi-detached dwellings with associated parking and amenity space and installation of two vehicular crossovers to front, involving demolition of existing bungalow.
Members introduced the application, which sought two two-storey, four-bedroom, semi-detached dwellings, involving the demolition of the existing dwelling.
A petitioner spoke in objection to the application, stating that residents considered the application was an overdevelopment, intrusive and overbearing in the local area, and was out of keeping with the street scene.
The Committee also heard that the application was very similar to a previous application on the site that was withdrawn after officer's recommended it for refusal.
Officers confirmed that the previous application had an unacceptable parking layout, which has been revised in the new application as is to the satisfaction of the Council's Highways Engineer. The Committee also heard that the 45 degree line was no longer breached and complies with guidelines.
Members confirmed that they were sympathetic to residents who opposed the application, but noted that on merit, it was difficult to refuse the application. As such, the officer's recommendation was moved, seconded and unanimously agreed.
RESOLVED: That the application was approved.
