Retention of two dwellings incorporating revised elevational changes, amendment to that approved under 14/01447/DETAIL.

Councillor Turner, present in the public gallery, had earlier declared an interest in relation to Planning Application 17/00502/FUL by virtue of the fact that he was a local Ward Member and a Frinton and Walton Town Councillor.

The Committee recalled that it had previously considered this application on 16 May 2017 following a ‘call-in’ by Councillor Turner, a local Ward Member, on the basis that the design was inferior to that which had been originally approved and what should have been built.

The resolution of the Committee had been to defer consideration of the application, to allow time for amended plans to be forwarded by the applicant to overcome the concerns expressed, to be reconsidered at the Committee in July 2017, and in the absence of such plans, that permission would be refused.

The Committee was informed that the applicant had taken on-board the matters of concern expressed and had submitted new plans indicating changes to the appearance.

The Committee was reminded that outline planning permission 11/00796/OUT and Reserved Matters Approval 14/01447/DETAIL had been granted on 30 June 2014 and 23 March 2015 respectively.

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 Planning Team Leader (SE) in respect of the application.

An update sheet had been circulated to the Committee prior to the meeting with details of comments received from Frinton and Walton Town Council in relation to the revised plans.

The Chairman had earlier announced that item A.6 (Planning Application 17/00502/FUL – Wittonwood Road, Frinton-on-Sea, CO13 9LB) was a deferred item from the previous meeting of the Committee and so there would be no public speaking for this item.

Following discussion by the Committee, it was moved by Councillor Baker, seconded by Councillor Fairley and unanimously RESOLVED that the Head of Planning (or equivalent authorised officer) be authorised to grant planning permission for the development, subject to the following conditions:

1.     Development in accordance with approved plans; and

2.     Parking to be retained.
