Agenda, decisions and minutes

Approved.

The Committee considered the report and without debate RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

Deferred.

The report before Members detailed a proposal to add an additional storey to the existing two-storey building and create five 2-bedroom and three 1-bedroom apartments with the retail unit being kept on the ground floor.

During a brief debate Members discussed the density of housing the proposal would provide, amenity space offered and how the proposed building would sit within the existing streetscene.

The report recommended that planning permission be granted, however following a motion to defer consideration of the report it was RESOLVED that consideration of the application be deferred to allow officers to negotiate with the applicant a possible reduction to seven flats to improve the density and compliance with planning guidance, space standards and amenity. The building height and mass was thought to be acceptable but the internal configuration needed to be reconsidered.
