Minutes:
The Panel considered the report of the Planning and Development Manager recommending refusal in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address. (Copy of the report circulated with the agenda and appended to the signed minutes)
Change Of Use From A C3 Dwelling House To A 7-Bed House In Multiple Occupation (HMO, Sui Generis) (Submitted In Conjunction With 12/00246/Lbc).
Dr Lawrence (Applicant), Mrs Barter (objector) (Local resident) and Councillor Bogle (supporting) (Ward Councillor).
The presenting officer reported that paragraph 6.2.7 should say that the concentration of HMO’s surrounding the application site is 85% (12 out of 14).
RESOLVED to grant planning permission and delegate the imposition of conditions to the Planning and Development Manager, set out below:
RECORDED VOTE:
FOR: Councillors Mrs Blatchford, Cunio, Lloyd and Thomas
AGAINST: Councillors Claisse, B Harris and L Harris
APPROVAL CONDITION - Full Permission Timing Condition - Physical works
The development works hereby permitted shall begin not later than three years from the date on which this planning permission was granted.
Reason:
To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).
APPROVAL CONDITION - Approved Plans
The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the approved plans listed in the schedule attached below, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.
Reason:
For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
APPROVAL CONDITION - Refuse and Cycle Storage - Pre-occupation Condition.
Notwithstanding the approved plans, prior to the occupation of the property as an HMO details of the proposed refuse and cycle storage shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Department.
Reason:
To encourage cycling as an alternative form of transport, in the interests of visual amenity and the amenities of future occupiers of the development.
Reason for Granting Permission
The development is acceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below. Other material considerations including surrounding character and amenity, the economic and personal circumstances of the applicant, the proximity to the night time economy area of Bedford Place and the number of HMO's in the surrounding area have been considered and are not judged to have sufficient weight to justify a refusal of the application. 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.
