The Committee considered a report in respect of application 24/00193/FP seeking permission for replacement cladding, communal entrance doors and windows to flats and communal areas, together with replacement flat roof covering, fascias, gutters and downpipes and replacement balustrading to balconies and ground floor patios.

The Development Manager described the building as a traditional 1960s style residential block. The proposed updates included new flat roof coverings, external doors, painted metal railings for the ground floor patios, and new balustrading for the balconies. The proposed works were intended to improve the building's thermal efficiency and address dated features to enhance the building's overall fabric and align with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

The Committee were shown photos and diagrams including the site, existing and proposed elevations, and examples of the proposed materials.

The Chair invited the Committee to ask questions of the Development Manager. There were none.

INFORMATIVE

 1         Public Information on Planning Applications

            Warning: all information provided on your planning application is now publicly available. Individuals and organisations offering their services may contact you. The Council does not endorse or approve any builders, surveyors, trades persons or other supplier, and advises householders to obtain quotes/references, and check the legitimacy of any contractor who contacts them before making payment.

 2         Community Infrastructure Levy

            Stevenage Borough Council adopted a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) Charging Schedule at Full Council on 27 January 2020 and started implementing CIL on 01 April 2020.

            This application may be liable for CIL payments and you are advised to contact the CIL Team for clarification with regard to this. If your development is CIL liable, even if you are granted an exemption from the levy, please be advised that it is a requirement under Regulation 67 of The Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended) that CIL Form 6 (Commencement Notice) must be completed, returned and acknowledged by Stevenage Borough Council before building works start. Failure to do so will mean you risk losing the right to payment by instalments and a surcharge will be imposed. NB, please note that a Commencement Notice is not required for residential extensions if relief has been granted.

            Stevenage's adopted CIL Charging Schedule and further details of CIL can be found on the Council's webpages at www.stevenage.gov.uk/CIL or by contacting the Council's CIL Team at CIL@Stevenage.gov.uk.
