The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for the demolition of an
office building and the erection of a development of nine flats.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a St Stephen’s Place resident.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Referred to speaking notes and
attached diagram that were tabled at committee.
ii.
The scale and massing of the
development constituted an over-development of site.
iii.
Requested the proposal be deferred
until a daylight / sunlight study could be undertaken.
iv.
The application did not answer
objections from the last iteration, which had been refused. There were
unresolved concerns about car parking, access and the party wall.
v.
The application would affect the
character of the area.
The Committee noted points in the written statement from Castle Ward
Councillors Holt and Payne. The statement was tabled at committee. It referred
to:
1.
Significant reduction of light to St Stephen’s
Place and 51 Canterbury Street.
2.
The proposed development would be out of character
with the surrounding area.
The Committee:
Unanimously 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.
