Agenda and minutes

The application proposed the demolition of eleven of the existing garage blocks, retaining four along the flank of 25 Harebell Way and the construction of a pair of semi-detached 3-bedroom dwellings. The proposed dwellings would be two-storey with a hipped roof and of a traditional design and external appearance. 

It was reported that provision would be made within the site for four parking spaces, which were proposed to be allocated for use by the occupiers of the new dwellings, plus four retained and refurbished garages.

It was noted that 6 letters of representation had been received along with comments from a local Ward Councillor. Comments from two consultees had also been received and were outlined in the report.

In accordance with the public speaking arrangements, the Committee was addressed by an objector, with a response provided by the applicant.

The objector was primarily concerned with the loss of parking. The applicant responded pointing out that the parking surveys followed a methodology approved by the Local Highway Authority and that parking could be re-provided within the blue line area. In addition some members considered that there was support among local residents for the proposals and that the existing garages were not fit for purpose, being too small to accommodate most modern cars.

With its agreement, Councillors Keith Darvill, Lesley Kelly and Denis O’Flynn addressed the Committee.

Councillor Darvill stated that he had received numerous complaints from local residents concerning the proposals, particularly around parking displacement should the garages be demolished. He emphasised that a parking strategy needed to be implemented for the Estate, however he stressed that the strategy should have been included as part of the proposals with consultation with existing residents a key part of that strategy. He added that the original design for the Estate incorporated a number of small green open spaces to provide amenity for those residents who occupied flats or properties without any garden space. The proposals would create a terraced-like effect and result in overlooking into neighbouring properties.

Councillor Lesley Kelly remarked that the proposals were supported by many residents who lived on the Briar Road Estate. She recognised that there would be a loss of parking as a result of the proposals, but that would be off-set by the availability of improved living accommodation for which residents of the Estate would get priority when bids were submitted. She added that the parking congestion was caused by the excessively high number of car owners living on the Estate and that the Estate was built at a time when there were so many cars on the road.

Councillor O’Flynn remarked that the proposals were not in keeping with the promises made to residents of the Estate who were told that there would be a series of environmental improvements; these had not materialised in the proposals. He added that occupiers who had bought their properties a number of years ago did so because of the green and open spaces dotted around the Estate; these would now  ...  view the full minutes text for item 227.

The applicant’s agent further suggested that the relationship in terms of privacy and overlooking mirrors the existing terrace relationship.

Members sought clarification that the proposed estate footpath would be a similar width to the existing and therefore there should not be a pinch-point.
