Land to the rear of 6 and 7 Cranbury Terrace, SO14 0LH PDF 531 KB Report of the Planning and Development Manager, recommending conditional approval in respect of the application for a proposed development at the above address, attached.
Minutes: Erection of a terrace of 3 x four bedroom four storey dwellings with vehicular access from Rockstone Lane, car parking, landscaping and repairs and extension to front boundary wall.
Mr Patrick (Agent) and Mrs Davies (Local Resident) were present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.
UPON BEING PUT TO THE VOTE THE OFFICER RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT CONDITIONAL PLANNING PERMISSION WAS CARRIED
RECORDED VOTE:
FOR: Councillors Fitzhenry, Jones, and Osmond ABSTAINED: Councillor Letts, Samuels and Thomas
RESOLVED that planning approval be granted subject to the conditions in the report
REASONS FOR DECISION
The development is acceptable taking into account the previous approval under reference 08/01366/FUL and the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below. Other material considerations including the recent appeal decision on land to the rear of 7 Cranbury Terrace, the impact on the character of the conservation area, the privacy and amenity of nearby residents, the level of car parking and the impact on protected trees have been considered and are not judged to have sufficient weight to justify a refusal of the application, and where applicable conditions have been applied in order to satisfy these matters. The scheme is therefore judged to be in accordance with Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and thus planning permission should therefore be granted. Policies - SDP1, SDP4, SDP5, SDP7, SDP9, HE1, HE6, H1, H7 of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review (March 2006) and CS13, CS14, CS16, CS19 and CS20 of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy Development Plan Document (January 2010).
NOTE: Councillor Slade declared a prejudicial interest in the above item and withdrew from the meeting.

REASONS FOR DECISION
The application constitutes a departure form the Development Plan ('saved' Policy REI 11 (vii) of the City of Southampton Local Plan March 2006 and CS7 of the Core Strategy January 2010) but is compliant with the other relevant Policies of the Development Plan set out below. However, on the basis of the low demand for B1 use within this centre at this present time, the applicant’s original wish of the applicant to have full consent and the particular nature of this D1 use being appropriate to this location and securing the future of the business it is considered appropriate for full consent to be granted.
In addition, other material considerations, namely the skills training offered which serves economic potential of future labour supply, the previous vacancy of the unit and the importance of retaining employment within the City, outweigh compliance with this policy and are not judged to have sufficient weight to justify a refusal of the application, and where applicable conditions have been applied in order to satisfy these matters.
