Issue - meetings

Councillor Thornburrow did not participate in the discussion or debate for this item as she was unable to be present for the consideration of the whole item.

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for the demolition of the existing garage and ancillary structures (Class B1) and the erection of two new dwellinghouses (Class C3).

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

      i.          He had lived adjacent to the property for 40 years and had a strong personal investment in the development being done correctly.

     ii.          The proposal would restore the pre-existing structure to the street.

   iii.          Expressed concerns regarding height and shadowing.

   iv.          Commented that shadowing from the proposal would mean that Stockwell Street would have no sunlight at all.

    v.          The panelling design of the front windows was un-necessary.

   vi.          Proper sound insulation should be installed.

 vii.          Expressed concern about dust during construction.

viii.          Expressed concern about loss of income as they lived and worked in the house.

   ix.          Stated that parking should not occur on double yellow lines.

    x.          Welcomed the proposal long-term.

Ze'ev Feigis (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 7 votes to 0) to grant the application for planning permission in accordance with the Officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the Officer’s report, subject to:
