Issue - meetings

The application before Members detailed an outline planning application for the demolition of all buildings at Inserco House, 143 New Road an Centurion House to redevelop the site for residential use providing up to 35 units (a mixture of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments and 3-bedroom townhouses) with ancillary car parking, landscaping and access.

With its agreement Councillor Michael Deon Burton addressed the Committee expressing his concern/reservation to the proposal as an outline application with reserved matters.

Councillor Burton commented that the applicant could submit a proposal in the future to increase both the height and reduce parking space on the site.

During the debate Members sought and received clarification relating to the number of parking spaces, height of the building and amenity spaces on the outline application.

It was RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to an amended condition requiring a minimum of 37 spaces plus an informative in connection with amenity space provision next to the highway being unlikely to be acceptable.
