Minutes:
An
application to vary conditions 2 and 21 of planning permission C19/0014/19/LL
in order to reposition plots 14 and 29 and reposition the garage of plot 17,
reduce the slab level of plots 18 and 26 and remove part of footpath to the
hammerhead.
Attention was drawn to the late observations
form
a) The
Planning Manager elaborated on the background of the application, noting that
this was an application to vary conditions 2 and 21 of planning permission
C19/0014/19/LL. She reported that the original planning permission
C19/0014/19/LL was for erecting 29 living units together with creating a new
vehicular access, parking spaces, landscaping and a public open space.
She
drew attention to the fact that an application for a non-material amendment to
the changes before the Committee had been submitted under reference
C20/0198/19/DA and had been refused because the repositioning of plot 14 was
likely to have an impact on nearby properties which
would need to be assessed as part of a formal application. It was noted that the remaining amendments were non-material
and were the subject of this application for the convenience of dealing with
all the matters together.
Members
were reminded that the principle of developing this site had already received
planning permission under C19/0014/19/LL, and that the amendments to the
proposal before the Committee had no impact on the location, total number,
percentage of affordable housing, mix of housing or the general design of the
site. It was therefore considered that the proposal
still complied with the requirements of policies PS 16, PS 17, PCYFF 1, TAI 3
and TAI 15 of the LDP as had been confirmed in the previous application. It was added that the construction work had already commenced
on the site.
It
was highlighted that the proposal entailed repositioning plot 14 approximately
1m closer to plot 15 (which was directly next door) in order to distance the
property from the hedge that bordered the whole site. Reference was made to the
property named 'Tywyn' which
was located beside the site and abutted the rear of plots 14, 15 and 16, with
the rear of plot 14 facing the back garden of 'Tywyn'. Repositioning plot 14, as proposed in this
application, would mean that the oriel window at the
back of plot 14 would look over a small area of the far corner of the back
garden of 'Tywyn'. Since this area was so small and
was located in a corner at the far end of the garden (an extensive garden, and
located away from the sections directly near the house of 'Tywyn')
it was not considered that it would have a significant detrimental effect on
the privacy of the property of 'Tywyn'. It was highlighted
that the owner of Tywyn objected to the proposal on
the grounds of any overlooking of his property. However, in this case the
potential overlooking was considered to be minimal,
and compared with the extensive area of garden belonging to the property of Tywyn, it would not be impacted - it would be unreasonable
to refuse the proposal on this ground. It was noted
that only the position of plot 14 within the plot formed the subject of this
application, and that its design and ground level was in accordance with what
had already been approved under the previous application. It was
confirmed that there was no change to the location of the other plots
situated along this boundary with the property of 'Tywyn'.
The
officer explained that the assessment had given full
consideration to the objections received during the public consultation
period on the application. It was not considered that any material
planning objection had been put forward which outweighed the relevant
planning policies noted in the assessment, therefore it was considered that the
proposal met the relevant requirements of the local and national policies.
b) It
was proposed and seconded to approve the application.
c) During
the ensuing discussion a member made the following observation:
·
