Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for erection of new dwelling following demolition of
existing dwelling on the site.
The Committee
received representations in objection to the application from the following:
· Mr Campbell.
· Ms Wright.
The representations
covered the following issues:
i.
Barrow
Road included properties that were prime examples of arts and craft style
buildings in a city setting. The two buildings at the entrance to Barrow Road
were deliberately designed to mirror each other as gateway buildings. They have
been recognised as heritage assets by Historic England due to their design.
ii.
To
demolish Number 2 Barrow Road would be detrimental to the character of the
area.
iii.
Referred
to 29 representations in objection.
iv.
Took
issue with the plans included in the Officer’s report and said the building
would be bigger in reality.
v.
Expressed
specific concerns regarding:
·
The
proposal went against Local Plan Policy 3/12.
·
Overbearing
and intrusive design. Out of character with the area.
·
Overdevelopment
of site (height and mass).
Mr Thompson (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 5 votes to 3) 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.
