Decision details

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for erection of a terrace of three, two and a half storey dwellings following the demolition of the existing property and associated works.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of George Street.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          The development would exacerbate existing parking issues.

     ii.          The light study was misleading and a lot would be lost in summer.

   iii.          Expected overlooking from the development into rear neighbours’ homes and gardens.

   iv.          Loss of amenity and privacy.

    v.          The building would be 3 storeys in effect and so taller than neighbours.

   vi.          Expected security concerns.

Mr Robinson (Applicant’s Architect) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 6 votes to 0) 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.
