Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for a
residential development comprising 6 x 2-bed and 4 x 1-bed units with access,
car and cycle parking and associated landscaping following demolition of the
existing dwelling.
The Senior Planner referred to paragraph 8.24 of her
report and said a new travel plan condition was required.
The Committee
received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of
Queens Edith Way.
The representation
covered the following issues:
i.
Accepted more housing was needed
in the city.
ii.
The site could be developed.
iii.
The current application design was
unacceptable.
iv.
Expressed concern regarding
height, mass, amenity and lack of parking provision for the expected number of
residents (this could exacerbate existing issues, impact on street parking and
lead to safety concerns about site access).
