Recommendation:  Approval subject to a Legal Agreement

Minutes:

Redevelopment of site to provide 10 detached 5 and 6 bedroom houses with roofspace accommodation and double garages with roofspace accommodation, with associated access, parking and landscaping (involving demolition of 3 detached houses)

 

Officers introduced the report and highlighted the changes as set out in the addendum.

 

Discussing the application, the Committee raised concerns about the timing of the removal of the centre traffic island and the possible road safety implications of this, if a replacement island was delayed. A series of additional points were also raised which concerned the use of the garden room and distance of the closet dwelling to the proposed development.

 

In response, Officers confirmed that an informative could be added to ensure the traffic island would be added as part of phased proposals to ensure no road safety issues arose. In relation to the garden room, Officers confirmed that Condition 21 could be amended to ensure the building could only be used for off street parking and uses which were ancillary to the main dwelling. With respect to the distance of the closest dwelling, Officers confirmed that this had been measured as 16.5 metres and although this was less than the usual 21 metres, there was sufficient screening from existing vegetation to ensure there would be loss of privacy. The changes are set out below:

 

Add an informative:

 

'You are advised that in relocating the traffic island (pedestrian refuge), the Council will expect this to be done in a phased manner which ensures that at all times there is an island, and pedestrian safety is not compromised while the refuge is moved.'

 

Amend condition 21 as follows:

 

'The proposed garage/garden room buildings shall only be used for off street parking and purposes ancillary to the use of the main dwellinghouse. An area adequate for parking of a motor vehicle shall be retained within the building for the life of the development and used for no other purpose.'

 

It was moved, seconded and on being put to the vote unanimously agreed that the application be approved.

 

Resolved –

 

That the application be Approved as per the officer recommendation, addendum and the changes set out above.

Recommendation:  Approval subject to a Legal Agreement

Minutes:

Redevelopment of site to provide industrial units for B1(c), B2 and/or B8 uses with associated access, parking, landscaping and ancillary works

 

Officers introduced the report and highlighted the changes set out in the addendum.

 

Referring to the extensive addendum, the Committee noted that the Environment Agency had removed its objection, subject to the approval of the additional documentation received. On this basis, Officers proposed that the resolution of the report should be amended to reflect this new information.

 

In relation to the conditions mentioned in the report, the Committee proposed that Condition 6 (floodlighting) should be amended for consistency. The Committee noted that refuse storage had been integrated into the scheme but queried whether or not any provision had been made for cycle storage. In response, Officers confirmed that the scheme had not made any provision for this but, given the size of the scheme, spaces for 3 motor cycles was appropriate. The following changes were proposed:

 

Amend resolution and Environment agency have responded and no further information is awaited.

 

Add a condition requiring parking space for 3 motor bikes.

 

Amend condition 6 by deleting the last sentence.

 

It was moved, seconded and on being put to the vote agreed that the application be approved.

That the application be approved as per officer recommendation, addendum and the changes set out above.
