The Committee received an application for full planning permission.
The application sought approval for demolition of 8 and 8A Oak Tree
Avenue and erection of two dwellings.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a local resident.
The representation covered the following concerns:
i.
Overlooking and overshadowing.
ii.
The impact of construction traffic
in the area.
iii.
The amount of (construction) time
to demolish the old buildings and put in new ones.
iv.
The impact of the development on
neighbours’ access, amenities and sewerage arrangements.
v.
The area needs redevelopment, but
residents had concerns about the design of this application.
vi.
The plans were unclear so
residents had queries about the proposed room uses and quality of materials.
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 report, and subject to
the conditions recommended by the officers. It was agreed that through the
discharge of the landscape conditions officers would seek some planting to the
front of the site subject to further consideration of the character of the area.
