(Mohammed Yousuf – 01274 434605) Minutes: The Strategic Director, Regeneration presented Document “C”. Plans and photographs were displayed in respect of each application and representations summarised.
(a) 364 Whitehall Road, Wyke, Bradford Wyke
A full planning application for the construction of a pair of semi-detached dwellings within the rear garden of 364 Whitehall Road, Wyke, Bradford - 16/03890/FUL
The Strategic Director, Regeneration gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout. He reported that the application proposed the construction of two semi-detached houses in the rear garden of a property within a well established residential area. A number of objections had been received and were detailed in the officer’s report. It was noted that following initial objections, the Council’s Highways Department considered that the arrangements were now acceptable, subject to conditions. There was a need for housing in the District and the scheme made a modest contribution. The Strategic Director, Regeneration informed the Panel that the site was an undeveloped greenfield site that was accessible to facilities and located in an established residential area. He indicated that the site underscored on density and the three properties equated to 27 dwellings per hectare, however, this could not be increased due to the site constraints. In relation to overlooking, it was noted that the windows nearest the existing houses would be obscure glazed and this was covered by a condition on the application. There was sufficient distance between the dwellings and they would be constructed of stone and render with a tile roof. A new access and parking would be developed for the host property and the access for plot 1 would be restrictive but similar to that already in existence. Visibility splays would be provided for plot 2. The application was then recommended for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report and the revision of condition 4.
In response to a Member’s question regarding residential amenity, the Strategic Director, Regeneration confirmed that the layout of the proposed properties had been arranged so that the rooms with clear windows were further away from the existing dwelling and those closer would be obscure glazed.
A Ward Councillor was present at the meeting and stated that:
· He was the Chair of the Council’s Regulatory and Appeals Committee, however, he was present to represent residents within his Ward. · Road safety concerns had been raised. · The principle of development was welcomed, however, the site layout was inappropriate. · The access and egress on to Westfield Lane was not safe as it was close to a 24 hour petrol station and shop. · Westfield Lane and Whitehall Road provided access to the motorway. · HGV used the main road. · The proposed dwellings would be in close proximity to Escroft Close. · There wasn’t a turning head onto Westfield Lane and vehicles would have to reverse in or out of the property. · The application should be refused on traffic safety grounds.
In response to some of the points raised, the Strategic Director, Regeneration stated that a different view would ... view the full minutes text for item 10. |
