The planning officer reported further consultation responses:

Nik Lyzba, the agent for the applicant, answered questions from the committee.

16/01564/FUL: 232 Marston Road, OX3 0EJ pdf icon PDF 70 KB

Site Address: 232 Marston Road,  Oxford, OX3 0EJ

 

Proposal: Change of use from dwellinghouse (Use Class C3) to House in Multiple Occupation (Use Class C4).

 

Officer recommendation: to approve the application subject to the following conditions:

 

1.     Development begun within time limit.

2.     Develop in accordance with approved plans.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered an application for permission for change of use from dwelling house (Use Class C3) to House in Multiple Occupation (Use Class C4) at 232 Marston Road, Oxford, OX3 0EJ.

 

The Committee agreed to vary condition 3 to ensure it removed the property from the controlled parking zone to reduce the impact of cars owned by residents of the HMO on the congested streets in proximity to the school.  They were concerned that the apparent lack of space to store bins and bikes at the front of the property and access to the rear would make it difficult to discharge condition 3 adequately and agreed these details must be approved before granting permission. 

 

The Committee resolved that they were minded to grant planning permission for application 16/01564/FUL, and to delegate to the Head of Service the issuing of permission once officers had approved details of adequate bin and cycle storage and subject to the following conditions:

 

1.     Development begun within time limit.

2.     Develop in accordance with approved plans.

3.     Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) – exclusion of property

 

and if these details were not submitted and approved, that the application come before the Committee for determination.

16/01522/FUL: 5 Atkinson Close, Oxford,OX3 9LW pdf icon PDF 65 KB

Site Address: 5 Atkinson Close, Oxford, OX3 9LW

 

Proposal: Erection of outbuilding and formation of decking. (Retrospective)

 

Officer recommendation: that the application is refused for the following reasons:

 

1.     The proposal, because of the overall extent of development that includes a garden building, raised decking and high boundary treatment, along with its elevated position and the physical form of the building, would result in a form of development that appears as a visually jarring and incongruous form of development, to the detriment of  the appearance of the site and surrounding area and would be contrary to Policies CP1 and CP8 of the OLP, CS18 of the Core Strategy and HP9 of the sites and Housing Plan.

 

2.     The proposal, because of its elevated position, large window and extensive area of decking, would result in an unacceptable increase in overlooking and perception of overlooking to adjacent properties and the gardens, which would harm the living conditions of neighbour occupiers and would be contrary to Policies CP1 and CP10 of the adopted Oxford Local Plan 2001 - 2016 and Policy HP14 of the Sites and Housing Plan.
