The Committee received a Section 73 application.
The application sought approval to vary condition 2 (approved drawings
of ref no: 17/0172/FUL (erection of a residential apartment development to be
arranged within two blocks comprising of 10 x 2 bed units and 6 x 1 bed units
along with car and cycle parking, hard and soft landscaping following the
demolition of the existing buildings on the site) to include changes to the
basement layout, introduction of roof lights, increase in height of block
(370mm), alterations to windows on second floor units, and changes to the
appearance of the east and west elevations.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a local resident.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Additional height would add to the
impact of the building.
ii.
Proposed density would impact
amenity of neighbours.
iii.
Additional windows would result in
overlooking.
iv.
Plant in basement would produce a
noise nuisance.
v.
Other developments in the area had
already had a visual impact on the skyline.
vi.
Requested mitigation such as
frosted glazing and additional green measures, such as a hanging garden.
Mr McKeown (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the
application.
The Committee noted the amendment sheet.
Members expressed concerned about disabled access and reduced designated
disabled parking.
The Legal Adviser reminded
Members that this was a Section 73 application and that they could only
determine what was before them today.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 7 votes to 0 and 3 abstentions) to grant the
application for Section 73 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.
