166 16/1299/FUL - 1-4 Water Lane PDF 150 KB
Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The
application sought approval for the erection of 13 flats (following the
demolition of existing buildings 1-4 Water Lane), together with the provision
of one disabled space, cycle parking, landscaping and associated
infrastructure. The
Planning Officer updated the Committee on cycle parking access. |
The Committee received representations in objection to the application
which covered the following issues:
i.
Building the flats would create significant parking
issues.
ii.
Access for cycle parking was outside the scope of
the planning application.
iii.
The cycle parking did not meet disability
requirements.
iv.
There was an issue with people parking and blocking
access to properties on Water Street. If the application was approved the
problem would be exacerbated.
v.
Expressed concern about contractors, there was a
lot of rubbish and items which had been discarded.
vi.
The developer had no right of access from the rear
of the property.
vii.
Expressed concern regarding overlooking from the
first floor balconies onto Water Street and Water House properties.
viii.
The quality of life of the existing residents would
suffer as a result of the proposed development.
Justin Bainton (Applicant’s Agent) addressed
the Committee in support of the application.
Resolved (unanimously) 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.
