08/08/2017 - A.7 - PLANNING APPLICATION - 16/01985/FUL - 138 COLNE WAY, POINT CLEAR BAY, ST OSYTH, CO16 8LU ref: 347    Refused

Decision Maker: Planning Committee

Made at meeting: 08/08/2017 - Planning Committee

Decision published: 14/08/2017

Effective from: 08/08/2017

Decision:

The Committee recalled that at its meeting held on 13 June 2017 it had considered the original plans and had requested that the application be deferred in order to enable Officers to negotiate a building of less bulk in order to improve its appearance within the street scene and to reduce the impact upon neighbours. Consequently, amended plans had been received which showed a building of much reduced bulk incorporating the significant inset of the second floor element. The amended plans ensured that the building would be less prominent in street scene views and would lessen the impact upon neighbours in terms of loss of outlook and light. The amended plans were therefore considered by Officers to have overcome Members previous concerns.

 

Members were reminded that this application had been referred to the Committee as the applicant was an elected Councillor of Tendring District Council.

 

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.

 

Councillors Baker and V E Guglielmi took no part in the discussion of this item or the voting thereon as they had not been present when the application had first been considered by the Committee on 13 June 2017.

 

Following discussion by the Committee, it was moved by Councillor Hones, seconded by Councillor Everett and RESOLVED (a) that, contrary to the Officer’s recommendation of approval, the Head of Planning (or equivalent authorised officer) be authorised to refuse planning permission for the development due to the following reasons:-

 

·      Poor design/bulk and massing;

·      Out of character;

·      Overdevelopment resulting in lack of useable amenity space.

 

(b)   that an informative be sent to the applicant to inform them that the principle of a replacement dwelling that provides flood risk betterment is acceptable.
