The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application
sought approval for the demolition of the existing buildings and structures on
the site.
The Officer updated
the Committee that since the publication of the report the Ecology Officer had
requested a condition for a bat survey to be carried out prior to the
demolition of the Coach House.Â
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a Kingston Street resident.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Raised concerns regarding the
demolition of the Coach House. Asked that condition 4 be amended so the Coach
House was demolished by hand, and not mechanical means, as this would result in
damage to Kingston Street properties which would be a civil matter.
Andy Thompson (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of
the application.
The Committee:
Resolved (unanimously) 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 with the following additional informatives:
1.
New development can sometimes cause inconvenience,
disturbance and disruption to local residents, businesses and passers by. As a result the City Council runs a Considerate
Contractor Scheme aimed at promoting high standards of care during
construction. The City Council encourages the developer of the site, through
its building contractor, to join the scheme and agree to comply with the model
Code of Good Practice, in the interests of good neighbourliness. Information
about the scheme can be obtained from The Considerate Contractor Project
Officer in the Planning Department (Tel: 01223 457121).
2.
The applicant shall ensure all building material
following demolition is sustainably disposed either by being reused on or off
site where possible or sent to be an approved waste handling contractor to be
recycled in order to reduce waste being sent to landfill.
3.
Notwithstanding the collection/delivery hours
specified in Condition 3 the submission of a Traffic Management Plan under
Condition 10 shall specify hours during which material shall be removed from the
site to ensure that the impact of heavy vehicle movements on Mill Road is
reduced as far as practicable.
