Decision details

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for construction of part two and part three storey block to create ten new apartments, , including alterations to parking layout and soft landscaping works, within the existing Crossway Gardens complex.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of a nearby property.

The representation covered the following issues:

     i.        Proximity and scale of the property was out of keeping with the area.

    ii.        Building would be within 6 meters of a building of local interest.

   iii.        Building would be large and ugly.

  iv.        Would result in loss of light and amenity value of garden.

   v.        Loss of privacy in garden.

  vi.        Density and scale would be overbearing.

 vii.        Would increase on street parking which would be dangerous.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 6 votes to 1) 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.
