Agenda item

The Application was for the erection of four buildings to comprise 3 detached four bedroom dwelling houses and 2 semi-detached three bedroom dwelling houses with associated carports/garages, parking and access and alterations to existing car park/service areas.

The application would have normally been determined under the Council’s Scheme of Delegation. However it was reported to the Planning Applications Committee at the request of Cllr Ian Sams. This was because of the need to consider access and egress, overlooking and loss of car parking.

Members received the following updates on the application:

“Correction: At Paragraph 1.2, “Annex 3” should read “Annex 1.””

Members raised concerns in regard to the potential of the houses on plots 3 and 4 to overlook the adjacent properties on Leonard Close/ Sheridan Road and Burleigh Road. As a result it was agreed to add an additional condition to ensure, first floor windows on the side elevation of properties on plots 3 and 4, facing Leonard Close/ Sheridan Road and Burleigh Road, be completed as to reduce any overlooking effect.

The officer recommendation to grant the application subject to conditions was proposed by Councillor Robin Perry and seconded by Councillor Colin Dougan.

RESOLVED that application 18/0292 be granted subject to the conditions as set out in officer report as amended.
