The Strategic Director, Place presented Document “C”.  Plans and photographs were displayed in respect of each application and representations summarised.

(a)       2 Exley Drive, Keighley                                        Keighley West

Construction of a two storey extension and a new two storey dwelling to the side of the existing house, with parking to the rear at 2 Exley Drive, Keighley, - 20/04286/FUL.

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He provided an appraisal of the application and informed Members that the application site was the side garden of 2 Exley Drive; this wa a two-storey house faced in render with a hipped roof and located on the end of terrace of 5 houses. The terrace faced onto a short and narrow cul de sac. A similar row of 5 houses in the other side of the street. There was a turning head at the end of the cul de sac with pedestrian routes running off to the west and north. The garden was on a corner plot, being visible from Exley Drive and Exley Avenue but at present the garden was screened by tall hedging. A timber fence and gate enclosed the rear garden. The existing house had parking spaces at the rear accessed via a dropped kerb off Exley Avenue.  Pedestrian access was from Exley Drive which led to the front entrance of the existing house. The land was unallocated on the Replacement Unitary Development Plan Proposals Map but it was situated in a densely populated residential setting.

This meant that the second car on the first property would have to park on the road side on Exley Avenue which was already overcrowded with cars from the local surgery which was directly in front of the development. Due to the roll out of the Covid Jabs this would only get worse.

·         The second new build home had its parking at the rear which possessed a problem in the way the drive was designed because it led out at a diagonal on to the busy footpath which ran down the back of the houses. This was not shown in the drawing and could only be seen by a site visit. With the fence staying the same height on the footpath and the cars reversing out it could easily end in someone getting knocked down on the path. A previous planning application was turned down due to parking being an issue.

·         The new roof line on the new build home was not in keeping with all the houses on both sides of the street and would look out of place.

·         The hedge down the side of the property would be taken out and replaced by a low wall. This was a mature hedge had been there for at  least 80 years. This would be a great loss to the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 11
