Minutes:

1.         137 ALLERTON ROAD, BRADFORD                         

Clayton & Fairweather Green

                                                                    

A full planning application for the change of use of land to a garden with new drive and parking area to the rear of 137 Allerton Road, Allerton, Bradford.  The application is partially retrospective as the new drive and access from Rhodesway have already been formed - 16/01853/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Regeneration gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the application proposed a change of use of land to a garden with a new drive and parking area.  The land to the rear was allocated as an open green space and the current access road was narrow with poor visibility.  Members were informed that the proposed access point would be on Rhodesway and would provide sufficient visibility.  It was suggested that the permitted development rights for the construction of outbuildings on the land be removed and that an additional condition be placed on the application that the details of the gates be supplied.

 

In response to questions, Members were informed that:

 

·        The land was a garden and would not affect the Urban Greenspace.

·        An application to build a house on the land could be refused as it was Urban Greenspace.

·        The application was partially retrospective as it was clear that the access was already there.

·        The access between 135 and 137 Rhodesway was not supported as it was not substantial, however, it could be retained as a footway only.

·        A condition in relation to the existing access could be placed on the application in order to retain it as a pedestrian walkway but prohibit vehicles.

 

Resolved –

 

That the application be approved for the reasons and subject to the conditions set out in the Strategic Director, Regeneration’s technical report and also subject to the addition of the following condition:

 

(i)         Before the first use of the development hereby permitted the existing vehicular access point between 135 and 137 Allerton Road shall be closed to vehicles in accordance with details submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to the commencement of the development hereby permitted.  This shall then be retained as such thereafter.

 

Reason: In the interests of highway safety and to accord with Policy TM19A of the Replacement Unitary Development Plan.

 

ACTION: Strategic Director, Regeneration    

 

 

2.         2 GATHORNE STREET, BRADFORD                                                City

                                                                    

A full application for a retrospective change of use to a radio station and retention of radio aerial at 2 Gathorne Street, Great Horton, Bradford - 16/00333/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Regeneration gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He reported that the application was a retrospective change of use to a radio station.  The host building was an attractive Victorian property that was located in a mainly residential area on a busy commercial road.  The radio transmitted over the internet 4 hours per day and was a small scale business, therefore, it would not create additional traffic or noise.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 42i
