The Committee
received an application for full planning permission.
The application
sought approval for revisions to an existing application 16/1299/FUL to permit
the subdivision of unit F1 to create an additional one bed flat, thereby increasing
the total number of units to 14, together with amendment to 1.8m high obscure
glazed screen to be replaced with louvered screen.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a resident of a nearby street.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Suggested that dividing one flat into two brought
no benefits apart from financial gain to the developer.
ii.
Surrounding residents were led to believe that the
plans for an exterior gate were going to be abandoned because it would cause
disruption to the local area. However, the current plans still include a
gate. Suggested that the committee added
a condition to remove the gate from the application.
Mr Bainton (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the
Committee in support of the application.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 6 votes to 2) to grant the
application for planning permission in accordance with the officer
recommendation and for the reasons set out in the officer report.
