Minutes:
The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Development Management.
In introducing the application, the Senior Planning Officer advised the Committee that a further representation had been received during the meeting requesting that the rear yard area be considered for parking. However, it was not clear whether an adequate turning area could be provided in this area and the reason for the maximum standards was to reduce the negative impact of off-street parking and maintain some amenity areas.
Mr Barry, an objector, addressed the meeting.
The Democratic Services Officer read out a statement on behalf of Mrs Townsend who also objected to the application and whose representations were read out in the Residents’ Association speaker slot at the discretion of the Chairman.
Mr Olayinka, the applicant, and Councillors Harper and Coates (Visiting Members) addressed the meeting.
RESOLVED:
1. That permission be granted subject to the conditions and informative set out in the report, with:
The addition of a condition requiring the provision of three car parking spaces on the site, to be retained in perpetuity; and
Irrespective of the details submitted, the strengthening of condition 8 (Landscaping) to secure the provision of a soft landscaped element to the boundaries of the site, planted with a domestic hedge type curtilage.
2. That the Head of Development Management be given delegated powers to be able to add, settle or amend any necessary planning conditions in line with the matters set out in the recommendation and as resolved by the Planning Committee.
Voting: 9 – For 3 – Against 0 – Abstentions
