The Committee considered an application for planning permission for the demolition of the existing house and erection of one 3-bed dwelling and one 1-bed dwelling (Use Class C3) with provision of private amenity space, car parking and bin and cycle storage (amended plans) at 70 Glebelands Oxford.

The Planning Officer reported:

·         The requirements proposed as Condition 7 had been discharged by the applicant after the agenda was published. There was now no need for the condition and he recommended its removal.

·         Councillors had received a late representation from a neighbour reiterating their previous objections which were covered in the report.

·         The submitted  hydrological report had satisfactorily addressed officers’ concerns about the impact of this proposal on the SSSI.

Ifor Rhys and Kieran Lynch, the agent and the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

The Committee discussed the effect of the proposal on drainage from the site into the SSSI of Lye Valley. They noted the hydrological report and drainage assessment as applied to the specific proposal were but were concerned that further reductions in the permeable surface on the site may have an unintended impact on the drainage. They also noted that Natural England had not yet responded to the latest amendments or to the drainage strategy to confirm whether these had satisfactorily addressed their objections.

The Committee resolved to delegate to officers the grant planning permission for application 15/03432/FUL, subject to receiving a response from Natural England removing their objection, and subject to the following conditions:

1.         Development begun within time limit.

2.         Develop in accordance with approved plans.

3.         Samples of materials.

4.         Bike and bin stores.

5.         Design - no additions to dwelling.

6.         Part M(4)2.

7.         No reduction in the area of permeable surface as shown on the approved plans and assumed in the hydrological assessment: neither from reductions under permitted development rights or from minor changes ancillary to the dwellings.

Informative: ensure that the highway remains unobstructed at all times to allow the regular bus service to operate.
