Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for the erection of a 1x Bed Bungalow along with car parking and associated landscaping.

Peter McKeown (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

Councillor Johnson (Abbey Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee about the application and made the following comments:

       i.          Speaking on behalf of local residents who were unable to attend.

     ii.          The current proposal was an improvement on the previous application but did not address all concerns.

   iii.          Access for vehicles and pedestrians was still poor.

   iv.          Would result in overlooking and a loss of privacy for neighbours.

    v.          Would have an adverse impact on the amenity of neighbours.

   vi.          Appeared to contravene the Local Plan (3.4, 3.10 and 3.7).

The Committee:

Resolved (by 6 votes to 2 and 2 abstentions) 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.
