Reserved Matters application for approval of landscaping and appearance, for construction of 10 no. houses with associated access and parking, including discharge of condition 7 (site levels), 15 (Bicycle storage), 16 (on site parking/loading) and 17 (wheel and underbody cleaning facilities) of Planning Permission 12/01135/OUT.

Councillor Fairley had earlier declared a Non-Pecuniary Interest in relation to Planning Application 16/00871/DETAIL by virtue of the fact she was the local Ward Member.

Members were reminded that, in 2011, full planning permission had been granted for a 36 bedroom motel on the site following previous planning permission for an 18 bedroom motel and a 36 bedroom motel on the site. The 2011 planning permission had been implemented thereby securing that planning permission in perpetuity. In April 2013 Planning Permission had been subsequently granted (under planning reference 12/01135/OUT) following Committee approval for the site to be re-developed for 10 dwellings.

The outline application had required matters of landscaping and appearance to be determined by reserved matters which were the subject of this application. The application also included details relating to the discharge of conditions relating to site levels, bicycle storage, on-site parking/loading and wheel and underbody cleaning facilities (during site development).

In accordance with Members’ request the current application was before the Committee to seek consent with regard to the reserved matters of landscaping and appearance.

The Committee had before it the published Officer report containing the key planning issues, relevant planning policies, planning history, any response from consultees, written representations received and a recommendation of approval. 

At the meeting, an oral presentation was made by the Council’s Head of Planning (CB) in respect of the application. 

Following discussion by the Committee, it was moved by Councillor Nicholls, seconded by Councillor V E Guglielmi and unanimously RESOLVED that the Head of Planning (or equivalent authorised officer) be authorised to approve the reserved matters and condition details, subject to the following Condition:

1.    Approved Plans.

Informative:

That the applicant be reminded that those conditions attached to outline planning permission 12/01135/OUT remain extant and of effect.
