Minutes:

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

 

(a)       11 Rudding Avenue, Bradford                                Thornton & Allerton

 

Two-storey side and single-storey rear extension, 11 Rudding Avenue, Allerton, Bradford - 16/02699/HOU

 

The Strategic Director, Regeneration gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the application was for the construction of a two storey side and single storey rear extension.  A number of objections had been submitted and additional representations had been received following the publication of the report.  The Council’s Highways Department had also put forward a late consultation response that stated the scheme would require three car parking spaces.  It was noted that the Council’s Replacement Unitary Development Plan (RUDP) required two spaces for such a property, however, other policies were being looked at that were more generous with regard to parking provision.  Members were informed that the extension would be the standard 3 metres in depth and be set back from the front.  There would not be any visual amenity, overshadowing or overbearing issues and the proposal fully complied with Council policies.  A condition to remove permitted development rights for the installation of further windows in the property had been placed on the application.  It was noted that the scheme would maintain the two required parking spaces at the side of the property and that an additional provision could be created at the front of the house.  The Strategic Director, Regeneration reported that the application was fully compliant with the Council’s Householder Supplementary Planning Document (HSPD) and recommended it for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

 

In response to query as to whether it was an open plan estate, the Strategic Director, Regeneration stated that this would be controlled through the title deeds and confirmed that the removal of the lawn would be covered under permitted development rights.  He clarified that the parking provision would not alter and there were other areas that could be used.  It was also noted that the street was not subject to a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) or yellow lines.

 

A Ward Councillor was present at the meeting and explained that the proposal would provide accommodation for the applicant’s elderly parents and enable them to be cared for.

 

Resolved –

 

That the application be approved for the reasons and subject to the conditions set out in the Strategic Director, Regeneration’s technical report.

 

Action:  Strategic Director, Regeneration
