Decision

 

Members received a report which sought full planning permission for a change of use from C3 dwelling house to 11 bedroom HMO with single storey side extension to create triple garage. Conversion of first floor roof space to habitable accommodation with dormers to front and rear - Part retrospective.

 

The planning officer addressed the committee and provided an update which stated that an additional condition was to be attached to the application which stated that

The garage hereby permitted shall be permanently kept available for the parking of vehicles and cycles.

 

Members raised concerns regarding the lack of parking provision and the subsequent detrimental impact the development could have on neighbouring parking amenity.

 

It was then proposed by Cllr Hakewill that the application be refused to the overdevelopment of the site and the lack of viability associated with the development. As there was no seconder to the motion, the motion fell.

 

Following debate, it was proposed by Councillor Smyth and seconded by Councillor Brown that the application be approved in line with the officer’s recommendation.

 

It was agreed that the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

 

 

 

1.      The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of 3 years from the date of this planning permission.

 

2.      The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out other than in accordance with the approved plans and details listed below.

 

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

D received by the Local Planning Authority on 18 March 2021, have been reduced in height in accordance with the details as shown on the approved plan unless otherwise approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 

 

5.      The development hereby permitted, shall not be occupied until such a time as the access driveway and parking area  have been surfaced and laid out  in accordance with the approved details on drawing no: 9541.PP.001 Rev D received by the Local Planning Authority on  18 March 2021 and once provided shall be maintained in perpetuity

 

6.      Prior to the first occupation of the development hereby approved, refuse storage and collection facilities for the proposed dwellings shall have been provided on site and retained in accordance with details as set out on drawing no 9541.PP.001.
