Minutes:
Officers had
indicated pre-committee this item may need to be deferred because two of the
third parties had not been notified of the committee date and their public
speaking rights in accordance with adopted procedures. however
parties were contacted so the application could be determined.
The Committee
received an application for full planning permission.
The application
sought approval for the erection of a detached house and detached two storey
annex consisting of four one bed self-contained flats following demolition of existing
dwelling and annex.
The Planning Officer updated his report recommendation by referring to
pre-committee amendments on the amendment sheet.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a resident of Leys Road.
The representation covered the following concerns:
i.
Impact on neighbour through the
permanent location of a barbeque.
ii.
The building of a covered walkway
would impact on neighbours’ access to gutters for maintenance work, and lead to
a sense of enclosure.
iii.
Boundary treatment.
iv.
The impact of piling on
neighbours’ properties.
v.
Plant room and impact on trees.
vi.
Exacerbation of existing street
parking issues by the new development.
Councillor Hipkin proposed an amendment to the Officer’s recommendation
to include a replacement planting condition.
This amendment was carried
unanimously.
