Minutes:
The Committee
received an application for full planning permission.
The application sought approval for conversion and extension to create
four new flats and one studio apartment.
The Planner corrected a typographical error in paragraph 8.23 of the
Officer’s report:
The passage along the side of the house is narrow at 1m 1.2m in width but is considered
adequate.
The Planner updated planning conditions:
i.
An additional boundary treatment condition was
proposed in response to documents submitted 1 November 2017.
ii.
Referred to pre-committee amendments to the
recommendation on the amendment sheet:
An additional condition and informative
regarding surface water drainage are recommended following comments from the
Sustainable Drainage Engineer.
17. No building hereby permitted shall be
occupied until details of surface water drainage works have been submitted to
and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Surface water drainage
will be implemented in accordance with these agreed details.
Reason: To ensure the development will not
increase flood risk in the area in accordance with the National Planning Policy
Framework (2012)
18. Informative: Before the details of the surface
water drainage are submitted, an assessment shall be carried out of the
potential for disposing of surface water by means of a sustainable drainage
system in accordance with the principles set out in The National Planning
Policy Framework and associated Guidance, and the results of the assessment
provided to the local planning authority. The system should be designed such
that there is no surcharging for a 1 in 30 year event and no internal property
flooding for a 1 in 100 year event + 40% an allowance for climate change. The
submitted details shall:
i. provide
information about the design storm period and intensity, the method employed to
delay and control the surface water discharged from the site and the measures
taken to prevent pollution of the receiving groundwater and/or surface waters;
and
ii. provide a
management and maintenance plan for the lifetime of the development.
iii. The surface water drainage scheme shall
be managed and maintained thereafter in accordance with the agreed details and management
and maintenance plan.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a resident of Milton Road.
The representation covered the following concerns:
i.
Conversion of attractive family
home into flats that would only be suitable for single people.
ii.
Lack of amenity space.
iii.
Passageway access.
iv.
Glass screens on building not
in-keeping with character of area.
v.
Noise from building terraces would
disturb neighbours.
vi.
Plans did not make appropriate use
of space.
The Committee:
Unanimously resolved 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 amended conditions recommended by the officers, with an additional
condition relating to hard and soft landscaping to front boundary. See boundary
condition wording below:
18. No development shall take place until full details of both hard and
soft landscape works for the area to the front, including front boundary, have
been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority and
these works shall be carried out as approved. These details include proposed
finished levels or contours; means of enclosure; car parking layouts, other
vehicle and pedestrian access and circulation area; hard surface materials;
minor artefacts and structures (eg furniture, play
equi8pment, refuse or other storage units, signs, lighting); proposed and
existing functional services above ground level (eg
drainage, power, communications cables, pipelines indicating lines, manholes,
supports); retained historic landscape features and proposals for restoration,
where relevant. Soft Landscape works shall include planting plans; written
specifications (including cultivation and other operations associated with
plant and grass establishment); schedules of plants, noting species, plant size
and proposed numbers/densities where appropriate and an implementation
programme. The works shall thereafter be implemented in accordance with the
approved details.
Reason: In the interest of visual amenity and to ensure that suitable
hard and soft landscape is provided as part of the development. (Cambridge Local Plan 2006 policies 3/4, 3/11 and 3/12).
