Proposed Development
*4.2 Full Planning Permission: 2 no. dwellings at 247 Havelock Street (garages adj), Kettering for Mr P Drage.
Application No: KET/2020/0755
Colin Balch attended the meeting and addressed the committee as a third-party objector. He stated that parking provision was extremely limited in the local area and questioned the validity of the parking survey undertaken during lockdown. Further concerns were raised in relation to the impact of loss of privacy to existing residents and that approval of the proposal would set a precedent for the area.
The applicant attended the meeting and advised that the proposal sought to match the street scene in terms of design. The parking survey was sufficiently robust to answer questions posed, resulting in no objection from the Highways Authority. Street furniture relocation would take place, if necessary, at the applicant’s own expense.

Decision
Members received a report which sought planning permission for pair of semi-detached houses following the removal of the vacant garages on the site. The houses would be of a comparable height and depth to the adjacent houses along Havelock Street with gardens to the rear. No off-street parking would be provided as part of the proposal.
Members discussed the potential parking issues at length and also queried timescales for the potential removal of double yellow lines and the relocation of a lamppost in front of one of the proposed dwellings.
Following debate, it was proposed by Councillor Smyth and seconded by Councillor Marks 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.
