Minutes:

The Committee considered the written report, in addition to supplementary information, and recommendation from the Head of Planning Services to grant permission.

 

The Committee was addressed by the following deputee(s):

 

(1)  Mr N Kirby and Mr L Thomas who supported the application for the following reasons:

a.    The applicant had engaged with HBC Planning Officers to  obtain pre application advice and had considered this appropriately, creating a sympathetic proposal

b.    The loss of a Class C2 residential use would not have a detrimental impact on the provision of Child Care Services across the Borough as the site was deemed surplus to requirement

c.    Local Planning Policy designated the area as in need for regeneration which the proposal would provide.

d.    A public consultation had been held and the proposal took into account the feedback from public comments

e.    The soft landscaping scheme including in the proposal sought to keep the site and proposal sympathetic in the local area, including the retention of tree and flora where possible

f.     The proposal sought to mitigate concerns of overlooking by way of its design

g.    The proposal was of a high quality, varied design which would add to the interest of the streetscene.

 

In response to questions raised by the committee, the deputees provided the following detail:

 

·         The floor space included in each dwelling in the proposal was generous enough to allow storage of mobility scooters if required, in addition to the provision of the bike shed.

·         Information relating to the cladding and materials proposed for the design of the proposal.

 

In response to questions raised by the committee, officers advised that:

 

·         The proposed replacement trees were covered by conditions attached to the recommendation set out in the officer’s report.

·         A semi-mature tree has a trunk with a girth of 18cm. On average this would mean the tree would stand at around 4m tall.

 

The Committee discussed the application in detail together with views raised by the deputees. Committee members discussed the need for regeneration in the area and the positive impact the proposal would have. The Committee also discussed the impact the proposal would have on the neighbouring properties however it was agreed that the design of the proposal appropriately mitigated concerns of overlooking and dominance. It was found that the proposal was sympathetic to the local area and street scene and was acceptable in planning terms. It was therefore
