Report of the Head of City Development attached
Proposal: Use of former coach house as an independent self contained dwelling.
The applications were called-in to the Committee by Councillors Armitage, Campbell, Gotch and Goddard due to concerns about the impact that a separate residential unit may have on Park Town and the consequent harm to the established character of the conservation area that may result.
Minutes: The Head of City Development submitted a report (previously circulated, now appended) concerning the following application:-
Nick Worlledge presented the report to the Committee.
In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mr Kawecki (on behalf of the Applicant) and Mr Armitage spoke in favour of the application. No-one spoke against it.
Councillor Cook suggested that any planning consent be made personal to the applicant. However, officers confirmed that suggested condition 9 (removal of householder permitted development rights for extensions/alterations to the building and removal of permitted development rights in order to subdivide the garden) for application number 12/02739/FUL would, in their view, provide sufficient controls over the use of this building as a separate dwelling.
The Committee took all submissions into account, both written and oral.
Resolved to approve the applications 12/02740/LBC and 12/02739/FUL with conditions as laid out in the planning officer’s report and that the Head of City Development be authorised to issue the notice of permission.
(Note: this did not include conditions personal to the applicant.)
