The application was deferred at the last meeting for a site visit at the request of the ward councillors. The Area Planning Manager, Andy Bates, in reference to the letter of support by Councillor Powney clarified that the application involved the removal of the awning and decking for which a condition was recommended to reinforce it. He continued that the removal of the decking would not directly affect disabled access but the applicant may need to make alterations to the ramped access arrangement. An additional condition as set out in the tabled supplementary report was recommended to address this.
He reported that as part of the application the door to the basement which did not align with the arched bricks would be replaced and access would be through the building. Members heard that the description of the development had been revised for clarity to add that all windows would be replaced with timber windows of the appropriate character. Andy Bates confirmed that the contribution towards CCTV would be required by a legal agreement which would need to be completed before planning permission can be granted. He drew members' attention to a condition that required the applicant to submit details of the lighting proposed to improve the character of the entrance, the exact location and design. With reference to the supplementary, he drew members’ attention to the additional conditions and an informative for the grant of planning permission.
During debate, Councillor John expressed satisfaction that the applicant had addressed the concerns raised by ward members and residents but enquired about measures that could be taken if the restoration was not carried out. The applicant in response to Councillor Daly’s request stated that he had not set a timetable for completion of the restoration work. The Head of Area Planning reinforced that the Council’s stance was to ensure that the work was carried out without delay. He undertook to update members about its progress.
DECISION: Planning permission granted subject to additional conditions, informatives, the completion of a satisfactory Section 106 or other legal agreement and delegate authority to the Head of Area Planning to agree the exact terms thereof on advice from the Director of Legal and Procurement. |
