Demolition of the existing building (arranged as five flats) and formation of seven new apartments with vehicular and pedestrian access.

(Wellswood Ward)

The Committee considered an application for demolition of the existing building (arranged as five flats) and formation of seven new apartments with vehicular and pedestrian access.

Prior to the meeting, members of the Development Management Committee undertook a site visit and written representations were circulated to members.  At the meeting Fiona McPhail addressed the Committee against the application and Daniel Metcalfe addressed the Committee in support.  In accordance with Standing Order B4.1 Councillor Bent addressed the Committee on behalf of residents.

Resolved:

Approved subject to:

(i)         the completion of a Section 106 Agreement in respect of sustainable transport, greenspace and recreation, lifelong learning and waste and recycling in terms acceptable to the Executive Head for Spatial Planning within six months of the date of this Committee, failure to complete the agreement within this timescale would result in the application being reconsidered by the committee;

(ii)        the receipt of satisfactory revised plans in respect of the east elevation to mitigate concerns of overlooking; and

(iii)       imposition of the conditions set out in the submitted Report and additional conditions in respect of the submission of a mature landscaping scheme.

(Note:  Prior to consideration of application P/2011/0062/PA the Chairwoman Councillor McPhail declared a personal prejudicial interest and withdrew from the meeting room where the Vice Chairman, Councillor Morey, chaired the item.)
