Decision details

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for erection of a new dwelling.

The Committee received representations in objection to the application from two residents of Cavendish Avenue.

The representations covered the following issues:

       i.          The proposed dwelling was squeezed into the site and located close to the boundary. This was overdevelopment of the site.

     ii.          Lack of amenity space.

   iii.          The design was out of character with the area.

   iv.          The development would set a precedent for unattractive designs in the city/area.

    v.          The development was possible (under Local Plan policy 5/1) but not necessary.

Mr Kratz (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 4 votes to 3) 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.
