For this Item, Cllr Downing (Chair) withdrew from debate and voting due to his declared interest. Cllr Parris (Vice-Chair) chaired this Item.

The Committee considered a report in respect of application 22/00186/FPM seeking the demolition of the existing entrance and detached garage, erection of part single storey, part two storey side and rear extensions to facilitate conversion into 5 flats with associated parking and ancillary works.

The Principal Planning Officer informed Members this application shared a driveway with two adjacent properties. This application would provide 3 one-bed and 2 two-bed flats and would have 8 parking spaces, including two visitor spaces and one disabled space.

A Member asked who called in the application and it was advised by the Development Manager that it was Councillor Rossati that called it in due to the impact on neighbours, character street scene and traffic implications.

Another Members asked whether there had been any objections from residents. It was advised that there were 13 objections which mostly focused on parking and the movement of vehicles.

A few Members asked questions relating to parking and access. It was advised that the two adjacent properties would retain their access and there would be new access for the parking. This would remove at least two informal on-street parking spaces. The waste collection vehicles would stop on the street rather than using the access.

It was RESOLVED: That the application 23/00186/FP be GRANTED planning permission subject to the conditions and reasons set out in the report and with delegated authority given to the Assistant Director of Planning and Regulation in consultation with the Chair of Planning Committee, to amend or add to the suggested draft conditions set out in this report, prior to the decision notice being issued, where such amendments or additions would be legally sound and most effectively deliver the development that the Planning Committee has resolved to approve.
