19/06545/FUL - 23 and 23A Wiltshire Drive, Trowbridge, BA14 0RR

A report by the Case Officer is attached.

Minutes:

The Committee received a presentation from the Case Officer which set out the main issues in respect of the application.  The purpose of the report was to assess the merits of the proposal against the policies of the Development Plan and other material considerations and to consider the recommendation that the application be approved, subject to conditions.

 

Members then had the opportunity to ask technical questions after which they heard the views of Cllr Andrew Bryant, the local Member. He supported the views of Trowbridge Town Council who objected to the proposal on the grounds that it would result in significant adverse impact on the amenity of residents’ neighbouring properties.  Furthermore, the Town Council did not consider that sufficient parking facilities had been provided.

 

During discussion, Members expressed concern that some unauthorised parking had been taking place on open spaces in front of some properties and requested that the Council’s Enforcement Team be asked to investigate.    

 

Thereupon on the proposal of Cllr Jonathon Seed, which was seconded by Cllr Stewart Palmen,

 

Resolved:

 

To grant planning permission, subject to the following conditions:-

 

1. The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

 

REASON:  To comply with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

 

2. The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans:

 

Revised Site Location Plan, Revised Existing Elevation Plan and Revised Proposed Elevation Plan – all received on 9 October 2019

 

REASON: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.

 

3.The materials to be used in the construction of the external surfaces of the development hereby permitted shall match in material, colour and texture those used in the existing building.

 

4. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting or amending that Order with or without modification), no windows, doors or other form of openings other than those shown on the approved plans, shall be inserted in the north eastern side elevation above ground floor ceiling level of the development hereby permitted.

 

REASON:  In the interests of residential amenity and privacy.

 

INFORMATIVE TO APPLICANT:

 

The applicant is advised that the development hereby approved may represent chargeable development under the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) and Wiltshire Council's CIL Charging Schedule. If the development is determined to be liable for CIL, a Liability Notice will be issued notifying you of the amount of CIL payment due. If an Additional Information Form has not already been submitted, please submit it now so that we can determine the CIL liability. In addition, you may be able to claim exemption or relief, in which case, please submit the relevant form so that we can determine your eligibility. The CIL Commencement Notice and Assumption of Liability must be submitted to Wiltshire Council prior to commencement of development.  Should development commence prior to the CIL Liability Notice being issued by the local planning authority, any CIL exemption or relief will not apply and full payment will be required in full and with immediate effect. Should you require further information or to download the CIL forms please refer to the Council's Website

INFORMATIVE TO APPLICANT:

 

The applicant is advised to take careful note of the fact that this planning permission does not extend to approving the unauthorised driveway and parking provision that has been created off the adopted C’ class public highway at the front of the property. By way of an additional note to this informative, the committee with the full support of the local ward member, instructed planning officers to refer the unauthorised works to the planning enforcement team.
