The Committee considered an application for planning permission for the formation of 10 parking spaces on land at the Junction of Blackbird Leys Road and Balfour Road, Oxford.

James Axford and Bill Chamberlain (representing the applicant) came to the table to answer questions from the Committee.

The Committee debated whether to add an informative asking the applicant to consider how best to allocate spaces to residents of houses adjoining the parking. On being proposed, seconded, and put to the vote, this was lost on the Chair’s casting vote.

On being proposed, seconded, and put to the vote the Committee agreed to approve the application with the conditions set out in the report.

East Area Planning Committee resolved to:

1.    approve the application for the reasons given in the report and subject to the 6 required planning conditions set out in section 12 of the report and grant planning permission;

2.    delegate authority to the Acting Head of Planning Services to finalise the recommended conditions as set out in the report including such refinements, amendments, additions and/or deletions as the Acting Head of Planning Services considers reasonably necessary.
