Erection of a two storey, 2-bed attached dwelling with associated cycle storage and amenity space
Recommendation: Approval
Decision:
RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report.
Minutes:
Erection of a two storey, 2-bed attached dwelling with associated cycle storage and amenity space.
Officers introduced the report noting that, at the previous Planning Committee meeting on 13 February 2025, it had been agreed that the application be deferred for a site visit. It was confirmed that the site visit, which had subsequently taken place on 25 February 2025, had provided a useful opportunity for Members to assess the parking situation and the potential impact on the street scene. The application was recommended for approval.
The Committee was reminded that a live enforcement investigation was already underway regarding the alleged change of use of the site to an HMO and alleged discrepancies between the building work and the agreed plans. It was noted that this was an entirely separate matter.
Members observed that the site visit had been very helpful. It had been apparent that parking was not an issue as many houses had off street parking and there was sufficient on street parking in the area. Moreover, it had been noted that the view of the new dwelling would be almost entirely restricted and would not impact negatively on neighbours or harm the local character of the area.
The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded and, when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report.
