The Committee considered the report of the Head of Development Management.

In introducing the application, the Joint Team Leader (Development Management) (Householder Team) advised the Committee that the re-consultation period had expired on 17 November 2022 after publication of the agenda.  No further neighbour representations had been received.  However, the applicant had sought to rebut neighbour comments highlighting that the proposal would improve the quality of the accommodation and was in accordance with policy; it was not proposed to use the dwelling as a house in multiple occupation; and some of the works could be undertaken as permitted development.

Mr Wilson, the applicant, addressed the meeting.

RESOLVED:  That permission be granted subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report with delegated powers given to the Head of Development Management to be able to settle or amend any necessary planning conditions in line with the matters set out in the recommendation and as resolved by the Planning Committee.
