Minutes:

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

 

The application sought approval for Section 73 application to vary condition 2(Approved Drawings) and 11 (Materials) of permission 18/0560/FUL (Erection of 1 x 3bed detached dwelling, with associated access and landscaping, following the demolition of the existing garage of No.1 Redfern Close) to increase to a1 x 4-bed dwelling incorporating a rear dormer.

 

Councillor Todd-Jones (Ward Councillor for Arbury) addressed the Committee regarding the application and made the following comments:

      i.         Questioned the impact on the amenity of neighbours.

    ii.         Additional parking would have an impact on highway safety.

   iii.         The application contravenes Local Plan 57B.

  iv.         Area is a quiet residential street and a large property would be out of keeping.

    v.         House would lend itself to shared living.

  vi.         Would have a detrimental impact on neighbours.

 vii.         Consultation process out of date and was looking at a previous iteration of the proposal.

viii.         Floor plans and internal dimensions were not available on the website.

 

The Planning Officer provided additional information regarding the consultation process. Neighbours had been consulted on a five bedroom proposal and it had not been necessary to re-consult as the current design was smaller.

 

Councillor Smart was concerned that there was a step to access a bedroom very close to the top of the stairs. He asked that his concerns be noted although this was a building control matter rather than a planning concern.

 

The Committee:

 

Resolved (by 5 votes to 1) to grant the application for planning permission in accordance with the Officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the Officer’s report, and subject to the conditions recommended by the Officer.
