Decision details

The Committee received an S73 application.

The application sought approval to amend approved plans of planning permission 14/0607/FUL (as amended by 16/0146/NMA) to permit minor material amendment with the repositioning boundary adjacent to no. 3, erection of meter cupboard, minor alterations to fenestration of rear apartment block and regularisation of plans of frontage building to reflect changes approved under application 16/0990/FUL.

The Committee received representations in objection to the application from local residents.

The representations covered the following concerns:

       i.          Design out of character with the area.

     ii.          Dominance over neighbour’s garden.

   iii.          Removal of trees and hedges.

   iv.          Suggested the wrong plans had been submitted in the application. The developer would build on land up to the boundary to take advantage of the error.

    v.          Converting a building had less carbon impact than demolishing it.

   vi.          The application would exacerbate existing parking issues.

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

The Committee:

Unanimously resolved to grant the S73 application in accordance with the officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to the conditions recommended by the officers.
