Erection of a five-storey, 128-bedroom hotel including the excavation of a basement to provide 50 car parking and associated landscaping.
Recommendation: Approval
Decision:
RESOLVED: That the application was approved.
Minutes:
Erection of a five-storey, 128-bedroom hotel, including the excavation of a basement to provide 50 car parking spaces and associated landscaping.
Officers introduced the application, which sought a five-storey, 128-bedroom hotel, plus basement on the car park for Axis House, and noted the addendum.
Members questioned the coach access on Egerton Way, and it was confirmed by officers that buses can access the road, while there was also a coach parking bay, after plans for a fountain were withdrawn from the application.
Officers commented that a s106 agreement with significant contributions towards a car parking survey was in place, as the applicant would need to seek a traffic management order as a package of works proposing improvements to the road surface and treatment of Egerton Way, which would go through the appropriate highways processes. The Head of Planning and Enforcement noted that currently, due to a lack of parking controls in the area, parking was often used by taxis and this had an impact on local residents.
The officer's recommendation was proposed and seconded, and upon being put to a vote, was unanimously agreed.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved.
