Minutes:
Public Participation
Barry Heath spoke in support of the application.
The officer introduced the report which recommended that permission be delegated to the Area Development manager to grant permission subject to the signing of a Section 106 agreement with conditions. Attention was drawn to the mixed character of the locality meaning the proposal was not harmful enough to refuse
No objections had been received from highways with the existing private access and there were no concerns over the extra generation of movements.
Initial concerns resulted in revised proposals to give the character more accord with the locality and windows had been removed to avoid overlooking.
There were no technical questions asked.
Members of the public then had the opportunity to address the committee as detailed above.
The local member, Cllr Howard Greenman noted the revised proposals but felt the proposal’s height and imposition made the nearby cottages subservient. He was concerned over highways with there being a recent accident in the area and complaints received over parking outside the cottages. He asked for clarification over how conditions can be imposed on land that may not belong to the applicant.
In the debate that followed it was confirmed that conditions can be imposed on land not under the applicant’s control, called grampian conditions, and work could not proceed unless these are met. Confirmation was given that the hedge would not be removed, as seen on the submitted plans. The Committee noted that the applicant had taken consideration of overlooking in their revised proposals. Noting the design of the building with the eaves meeting the small windows, the size of the plot and given the mix of houses in the locality the Committee found no reason to say it was out of character.
