Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

 

The application sought approval for proposed single storey dwelling on land behind 89- 91 De Freville Avenue, including the removal of existing hard standing, and removal of a tree.

 

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of Kimberley Road.

 

The representation covered the following issues:

     i.        Locals do not object to the proposal to build on this site.

    ii.        Current proposals would impact on the amenity value of the area.

   iii.        Non-compliant with Policy 3.10, as it would be overbearing.

  iv.        Build line is within 1 metre of neighbours.

   v.        Would create a feeling of enclosure.

  vi.        Neighbours fear future extension to this proposal.

 vii.        Loss of light.

viii.        Dominance.

  ix.        Detrimental impact on terrace.

   x.        Parking proposals unacceptable.

 

Richard Owers (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

 

Councillr Austin (Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee about the application and made the following comments:

 

     i.        Speaking on behalf of local residents.

    ii.        Tree not in a conservation area but is valued by the community and can be seen from some distance away.

   iii.        Tree aids local drainage.

  iv.        Tree would dominate the site in future and would need future protection from over pruning.

   v.        New fence has already disturbed the root system.

  vi.        Access route was an unmade road but is already well used as a second access route had been lost.

 vii.        Pinch point would be created.

viii.        Pressures on parking would result in unsafe access route.
