15 Nicholas Way, Northwood - 16824/APP/2012/3220 Two storey 5 bed detached dwelling, involving demolition of existing dwelling.
Recommendation: Approval subject to a S106 Agreement Minutes: The Chairman introduced the item and explained that the scheme had been previously considered at 30 October 2013 North Planning Committee meeting where most of the matters had been resolved. However, it had been established that a flood report had not been published to the public website in error and so had been subject to an additional consultation period.
The Chairman explained that in this particular case, he had used his discretion to allow the petitioners that spoke at 30 October 2013 meeting to speak again on the flood report without a petition. It was noted that was highly unusual as the Constitution dictated that petitions were required to address Planning Committees.
Officers introduced the report and explained that a geotechnical report had not been available to the public when the application was considered at 30 October 2013 meeting. As a result a further period of consultation was undertaken and the application considered at this meeting would only focus on this consultation. It was noted that on the basis of all the information considered at both 30 October and 7 January 2014 meetings, the Council’s Flood and Water Management Specialist considered that there was no material harm.
Referring to the addendum sheet, Officers highlighted that the increase of the footprint from 380 square metres to 416 square metres did not alter their view. In relation to Condition 10, it was noted that the word ‘surface’ should be deleted from point 1 and that three additional pieces of correspondence had been received since the agenda had been published which were summarised in the addendum sheet.
In accordance with the Constitution the petitioner addressed the Committee and the following points were raised:
