Issue - decisions

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought permission for a two storey rear extension and associated works (including changes to shop front)  to combine retail units 56 and 56A Mill Road and to create 6 self-contained studio flats, 4 of which are new, following demolition of existing extensions and outbuildings.

Mr Crossley addressed the Committee and made the following points in objection to the application.

       i.          Would set a precedent if approved.

     ii.          Not against the idea of development but current proposal was too big and would result in ‘cramming’.

   iii.          Overlooking into the Gardens of Mill Street.

   iv.          Site visit offered to developers but not taken up.

    v.          Impact on future residents of noise and disturbance.

   vi.          More detail needed on the refuse and cycle storage.

 vii.          Noise monitoring needed.

viii.          Detrimental effect to a conservation area.

Resolved (unanimously) to defer the application pending submission of definitive details of cycle and waste storage provision.
