The Panel considered the report of the Service Lead, Planning, Infrastructure and Development recommending delegated authority be granted in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address.

 

Erection of a three storey building to provide a ground floor retail unit and two x two bed flats on upper floors with associated parking and cycle/refuse storage, following demolition of existing building.

 

Peter Messer (local residents/ objecting), Gareth Jenkins (architect), and Councillor Keogh (ward councillors/objecting) were present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

 

The presenting officer reported that 2 additional conditions would be required to be added to the application in relation to:  external noise and vibration; and Residential - Permitted Development Restrictions as follows:

 

Noise & Vibration (external noise sources) (Pre-Commencement)

Prior to the commencement of the development hereby approved, a scheme of measures to protect the occupiers of the development from external noise and vibration sources, shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  The measures shall be implemented as approved before the development first comes into occupation and thereafter retained as approved.

Reason: To protect the occupiers of the development from excessive external noise.

 

Residential - Permitted Development Restriction

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended), or any Order amending, revoking or re-enacting that Order the A1 retail unit hereby approved shall not be used for any residential purpose without the benefit of further planning permission.

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to enable the Local Planning Authority to retain control over the development in the interests of the amenities of the area and the quality of the residential environment formed.

 

The officer also outlined the requirement for an amendment to Condition 23 as follows:

iii.  planting plans; written specifications (including cultivation and other operations

associated with plant and grass establishment); schedules of plants, noting species, plant sizes and proposed numbers/planting densities where appropriate;

v.  a landscape management scheme.

Any trees, shrubs, seeded or turfed areas which die, fail to establish, are removed or become damaged or diseased, within a period of 5 years from the date of planting shall be replaced by the Developer in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species unless the Local Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation.

Planning Application - 18/00765/FUL - 18 Grosvenor Road pdf icon PDF 485 KB

Report of the Service Lead, Planning, Infrastructure and Development recommending that conditional approval be granted in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address.

Minutes:

The Panel considered the report of the Service Lead, Planning, Infrastructure and Development recommending that conditional planning permission be granted in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address.

 

Erection of detached garage building with workshop at first floor level for use in association with the dwelling house known as 18 Grosvenor Road (part retrospective).

 

Nick Jones (local resident objecting) and Councillors Mitchell and Savage (ward councillors objecting) were present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

 

The presenting officer reported that since the publication of the report additional correspondence had been received.  It was noted that this correspondence was from the applicant and did not raise any fresh issues to those set out in the report. The Panel noted a correction to the report in paragraph 4.7.1 that outlined the differences between the application that had been granted permission and the proposals set out in this application.  The presenting officer set out an additional condition for the application, wording set out below, that would secure the mature trees on site.

 

6. Retention of trees (Performance Condition)

The two mature trees on the front boundary, 1x Purple Leaved Plum to the left of the driveway and 1x Robinia to the right of the driveway, shall be retained for the lifetime of the development hereby approved. For the duration of works on the site no trees on the site shall be pruned/cut, felled or uprooted otherwise than shall be agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.  Any tree removed or significantly damaged, other than agreed, either during construction or thereafter shall be replaced by the site owners within 2 months with two trees of a size, species, type, and at a location to be determined by the Local Planning Authority in writing prior to its planting.  The replacement planting shall be maintained and retained thereafter.

 

Reason:

To secure a satisfactory setting for the proposed development and to ensure the retention, or if necessary replacement, of trees which make an important contribution to the character of the area and further mitigate the development’s impact.

 

The Panel then considered the recommendation to grant conditional planning permission. Upon being put to the vote the recommendation was lost.

 

A further motion was then proposed by Councillor Coombs and seconded by Councillor Murphy that delegated authority be given to the Service Lead – Infrastructure Planning and Development to negotiate amended plans that would reduce the roof height to match that of the original planning permission and grant planning permission, or to refuse planning permission should the amended plans not be submitted within 1 month for being out of character due to the excessive height and instruct the Enforcement team to issue an Enforcement Notice.

 

RECORDED VOTE to delegate planning permission

FOR:  Councillors Coombs and Murphy

AGAINST:  Councillors L Harris and Wilkinson

 

The recommendation was carried on the use of the Chair’s second and casting vote.

 

RESOLVED that the Panel:

 

(i)  Delegated authority to the Service Lead – Infrastructure  ...  view the full minutes text for item 14.
