Decision details

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for revisions to an existing application 16/1299/FUL to permit the subdivision of unit F1 to create an additional one bed flat, thereby increasing the total number of units to 14, together with amendment to 1.8m high obscure glazed screen to be replaced with louvered screen.

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

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Suggested that dividing one flat into two brought no benefits apart from financial gain to the developer.

     ii.          Surrounding residents were led to believe that the plans for an exterior gate were going to be abandoned because it would cause disruption to the local area. However, the current plans still include a gate.  Suggested that the committee added a condition to remove the gate from the application.

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

The Committee:

Resolved (by 6 votes to 2) to grant the application for planning permission in accordance with the officer recommendation and for the reasons set out in the officer report.
