Erection of 38 residential apartments and the partially below ground car parking, cycle and refuse storage, hard and soft landscaping and associated infrastructure (alterations to the approved scheme granted under S/0671/17/FL and 20/03690/S73)

The Committee agreed to the removal of conditions 4 and 5 and amendments to conditions 17, 20 and 21. By affirmation, the Committee approved the application subject to the amended condition and the conditions and informatives laid out in the report from the Joint Director of Planning and Economic Development.

The Senior Planner, Amy Stocks, presented the report and offered a number of updates. The Senior Planner informed the Committee that paragraph 3 of the report was incorrect in stating that the application was a s73 application and clarified that it was a full application. The Committee was also informed that conditions 20 and 21 had been reworded after the receipt of a response from the Sustainability Officer, conditions 4 and 5 were to be removed as they were covered by condition 31 and that condition 17 had been reworded to be more specific on the details required.

Members debated the application and raised concerns over the appearance of the development and the impact of character on the local area but noted the comments and lack of objection from the statutory consultees. The Committee noted the previous permissions granted on the site. Councillor Dr Martin Cahn expressed support for the application as local Member and stated that he felt the benefits outweighed the harm.

By affirmation, the Committee approved the application subject to the conditions, and subsequent changes to them, and informatives laid out in the report from the Joint Director of Planning and Economic Development.
