Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for the change of use to an 8 bed (10 person) HMO (sui generis), together with erection of two-storey side and rear extension, single-storey front and rear extensions, rear roof extension, and detached cycle store in rear garden.

The Planning Officer referred to an amendment contained in the amendment sheet.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a local resident.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Did not object to people extending their properties but this development was solely for profit.

     ii.          There could potentially be 10 vehicles at the property, so parking could be an issue. Questioned where the vehicles would be park.

   iii.          Commented that plans did not show the children’s play area and noted that existing resident’s parked on a public footpath.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 5 votes to 0) 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.
