Councillor Pavlos Kotsonis left the room prior to consideration of the next item.

Rob Percival, Area Planning Manager, presented application 23/01444/PFUL3 for planning permission for the erection of 13 houses and eight one-bed (Class C3) supported living apartments following the demolition of the existing public house.

A presentation was made, which included indicative images of the proposal and, in

the discussion that followed, the following points were made:

(a)  The pub has closed down already and has been subject to a recent arson attack, so the development of the site is welcome.

(b)  Although it is not affordable housing, it is housing which is needed, and the supported living element is also needed.

(c)  The lack of S106 contribution is disappointing, but a reassessment clause is included if the development isn’t started within 24 months of permission be granted.

(d)  The boundary treatment for neighbours needs to be adequate, the tarmacking on the roads and pavements needs to be made more attractive by breaking it up, hard standings need to be made of porous materials, and the buildings shouldn’t be rendered as it deteriorates and puts the burden of maintenance on the occupier.

(e)  Although Planning Managers have done well to get the development revised to ensure it is more suitable, further negotiations needs to take place on the replacement of rendering with a longer lasting finish.

(f)  There are concerns regarding anti-social behaviour on the park at the rear of the development, so it is important to make sure that any boundary treatment is robust and secure.

Committee members feel that they need a greater understanding of biodiversity requirements and requested that the possibility of training be investigated.

Resolved to

(1)  Grant planning permission subject to the indicative conditions substantially in the form of those listed in the draft decision notice at the end of the report.

(2)  Delegate authority to the Director of Planning and Transport to determine the final details of the planning obligation and conditions of planning permission.

Councillor Pavlos Kotsonis rejoined the meeting.

Rob Percival, Area Planning Manager, presented application 24/00542/PFUL3 for planning permission for change of use to use for tyre sales/fitting and ancillary car

Services, and the retention of single storey canopy.

A presentation was made, which included indicative images of the proposal and, in

the discussion that followed, the following points were made:

(a)  There are not currently any parking issues around the site and, as the site has a car park, it is not envisaged that the change of use will create any parking issues in the area.

(b)  It is a good use for the site and is in keeping with other businesses in the area.

Resolved to

(1)  Grant temporary planning permission, subject to the indicative conditions substantially in the form of those listed in the draft decision notice at the end of the report.

(2)  Delegate authority to the Director of Planning and Transport to determine the final details of the conditions.
