Ms Victoria McDonagh (Area Team Manager) introduced the application which proposed the demolition of all buildings on site and construction of a mixed use development included retail, public house and workspace uses and 474 residential units arranged within four buildings. In addition to the provision of improved residential amenity, the development would incorporate landscaped public realm adjoining the canal side and external seating for the public house.

RECOMMENDATION: That the Head of Planning be granted delegated authority to issue the planning permission and impose conditions (and informatives) to secure the f matters set out within the Committee reports.

Ms Victoria McDonagh (Area Team Leader) introduced the report and answered members’ questions. Members heard that the application was a re-submission of planning application 12/3233 which was allowed on appeal. The application was therefore a re-submission of the scheme identical to that previously allowed on appeal as the 3-year time limit had now lapsed and due to changes in policies. All of the units would experience good levels of privacy, due to the provision of obscure and fixed glazing to the side facing windows which would prevent overlooking between units. The external amenity provisions were also considered acceptable.
Mr Julian Scott-Reid (objector) addressed the Committee and raised the following issues; loss of privacy, loss of light and outlook and lack of affordable housing.
Mr Vas Manga (agent) addressed the Committee and answered members’ questions. He added that due to set back and separation distances, the proposed development would not give rise to loss of privacy and outlook. Members heard that although there would be no affordable housing, the proposal would deliver CIL payments.
During Members’ question time, Ms Paige Ireland (Planning Officer) responded that the separation distances for the application which had been approved on appeal to the Planning Inspectorate, was consistent with the High Road and would not give rise to loss of privacy and outlook. She undertook to refer concerns about the parking situation in Ellis Close to Highways Unit.
In welcoming the recommendations of the report, Members added an informative that any damage to the pavement during construction should be restored.
DECISION: Granted planning permission as recommended with an additional informative that pavement damaged during construction be restored. (Voting on the recommendation for approval was unanimous). |
