RECOMMENDATION

That the Committee resolve to GRANT planning permission subject to:

(1)  The prior completion of a s106 legal agreement to secure the planning obligations as detailed within the main committee report.

(2)  The conditions and informatives, as set out in the main committee report.

Nicola Blake (Principal  Planning Officer) introduced the planning application committee report, detailing the proposal for the construction of a 5 storey residential building with landscaping, accommodating 13 units, private and communal amenity areas, car parking, refuse and cycle stores and associated building works.

Attention was drawn to the fact that since the publication of the committee report and the passing of the deadline for the supplementary agenda, a further objection to the proposed development had been received. The recommendation remained to grant consent subject to the prior completion of a s106 legal agreement to secure the planning obligations, as well as the conditions and informatives as outlined within the main committee report.

The Chair thanked Nicola Blake for introducing the report. As there were no Committee questions raised at this point, the Chair then invited Katharina Keusch (who had registered to speak as an objector) to address the Committee in relation to the application, who highlighted the following points:

• The objector, a resident of Crown Green Mews, representing the residents of Chamberlayne Avenue, Edison Drive, Walton Gardens, and Crown Green Mews, expressed that more than 300 family households would be directly and negatively impacted by the planning application.

• Katharina Keusch provided context for the proposal:

-      The proposed development was situated on the side of a roundabout on Pellatt Road.

-      Pellatt Road served as an entry/exit point for multiple cul-de-sac residential areas: Chamberlayne Avenue, Edison Drive, Crown Green Mews, and Walton Gardens.

-      Over 300 family households were connected to these residential areas.

-      Pellatt Road was the only access point for the Sports Grounds, used by multiple football youth clubs every weekend from February to October.

-      Pellatt Road also served as an access point with a wide security-controlled gate to the local retail business park.

• In referencing the committee report dated 4 February 2025, which stated that "54 properties were consulted as part of the proposal on 8 August 2024," Katharina Keusch observed that several impacted properties were not included. Additionally, citing the committee report which specified that "A site notice was erected on 11 August," the objector questioned the location and duration of the notice, as none of the 40 immediately impacted residents she spoke to had seen it.

• Katharina Keusch highlighted that the original planning application stated that there was sufficient parking provided on the street for residents and visitors, based on a survey conducted on 30 and 31 January at 12:30 am, showing 56 spaces. However, the objector noted that the survey was conducted outside of busy hours and not during the weekend or youth club  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3
