Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought the demolition of No.7 Church Street, garage and outbuildings and the erection of 4No. four bedroom dwellings with associated landscaping, access and parking arrangements.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from Ms Kazemi.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Development was inappropriate in a conservation area.

     ii.          Loss of one of the first houses to be built after the Second World War.

   iii.          Concerned over the felling of trees.

   iv.          The development was too bulky and would result in overshadowing and a loss of light for neighbouring properties.

    v.          Increased noise and disruption to the area.

   vi.          Additional pressure on parking in the area.

 vii.          Loss of habitat for wildlife.

Mr Chris Senior addressed the Committee on behalf of the applicant and in support of the application.

Resolved (by 6 votes to 3) to grant the application for planning permission in accordance with officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, subject to the conditions recommended by the officers.
