Decision details

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for demolition of existing garages and erection of three 2 bed dwellings with associated landscaping and access arrangements.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a local resident.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Referred to Local Plan Policy 3/10 (subdivision of plot).

     ii.          Suggested that Number 79 was being used as a prototype and expressed concerns due to:

a.    Noise.

b.    Landscaping.

c.    Materials out of character with the area.

d.    3 buildings on site should be reduced to 2.

   iii.          Asked that Number 23 Fen Road be used as design benchmark instead as it had more appropriate design and materials.

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

The Committee:

Unanimously resolved 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.
