The Committee received an application for full
planning permission.
The application sought approval for the change of use of the existing property from
dwelling (C3 use) to an eight bed (8 person) house in multiple occupation
(Sui-Generis use). The proposal also sought retrospective permission for the
flat roof dormer window in the rear roofscape of the
two storey side extension. The proposal also included bin and cycle storage
provision.
The Committee received a representation in objection
to the application from Mr Terry, speaking on behalf
of Mrs Raymer.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
The area has been over
developed in terms of houses in multiple occupation. There were a lot in the area.
ii.
Existing parking issues
would be exacerbated by the application.
iii.
Family houses were being
replaced in the area by houses in multiple occupation. This was detrimental to
the character of the area.
iv.
Requested obscured glazing
and restrictions on the number of occupants to 8 if the application were
approved.
Mr Ayo (Applicant) addressed the
Committee in support of the application.
Councillor Johnson
(Abbey Ward Councillor) was unable to attend the committee so his comments were
added to the amendment sheet.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 6 votes to 0) to grant the
application for planning permission in accordance with the officer
recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to
the conditions recommended by the officers.
