Minutes:

The Area Team Leader (North), Lee Burman introduced a report which recommended granting planning permission, subject to conditions, for a garage conversion. Permitted development rights were removed prior to the building of the dwellings.

 

Key issues highlighted included, principle of the development, the scale, design and layout of the proposals and impact on visual amenity, impact on the residential amenity and impact on highways.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the officer which focused on: the need to consider fire safety issues following the relocation of the kitchen within the ground floor space of the dwelling.

 

There were no members of the public attending the meeting and therefore, the Committee did not receive any comments from the public about the application.

 

Councillor Mollie Groom, Division Member, spoke in objection to the application with the main points focusing on the impact on the surrounding highway due to the removal of a garage parking space, and the availability of appropriate space at the front of the property to park two cars.

 

At the start of the debate a proposal was moved by Councillor Gavin Grant, seconded by Councillor Peter Hutton to grant planning permission as detailed in the report.
