The Committee considered the planning application report and noted additional    information on the applications included in the late letters’ list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)           Planning application NW/21/00497/FUL – Parochial Rooms adjacent 13 College Street, Wollaston

 

The Committee considered an application for a changeof use from function hall to residential class C3.  Including the subdivision of one building into two x two bed dwellings.  Single storey section of the function hall to be demolished and the land subdivided to provide bike/bin storage area for the two new units and the remainder to be incorporated into 13 College Street as residential garden at the Parochial Rooms adjacent 13 College Street, Wollaston for Mr J French.

 

The report detailed the proposal, description of the site, the planning history, relevant planning policies, outcome of consultations and an assessment of the proposal.

 

The Senior Development Management Officer presented the report giving full and comprehensive details.

 

It was recommended that planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out in the report and also the updated wording in relation to Conditions 1 and 4 referred to in the late letters’ list.

 

A request to address the meeting had been received from the applicant. The committee was given the opportunity to ask questions of clarification.

 

The applicant addressed the committee and explained how he had tried to preserve the heritage and character of the building and maintain it in keeping with the surrounding area. He considered he had appeased the comments made by local residents, the planning officer and the conservation officer. In relation to parking he considered the proposal was the least amount of disruption of the options available.
