A householder application for the construction of a boundary wall, detached garage and new gated access onto Harrogate Road and Beckwith Drive at 521 Harrogate Road, Bradford - 16/07250/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 boundary wall, garage and new access. It was noted that the new wall would be stone faced and would replace a previous wall and hedge.  The garage would be largely screened from public view due to the ground levels on the site.  The Strategic Director, Regeneration then recommended the application for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.  

 

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

 

 

(b)       228 Parkside Road, Bradford                                              Little Horton

 

Demolition of existing derelict bungalow and construction of new two-storey place of worship (D1) at 228 Parkside Road, West Bowling, Bradford - 16/04818/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Regeneration gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  Members were informed that the application was for the demolition of the existing bungalow and the construction of a two storey place of worship with eight parking spaces provided.  The site was unallocated and the principle of development was accepted.  A large number of representations had been submitted against and in support of the scheme and the issues were detailed in the officer’s report.  Consultations had been undertaken with Council Departments and the Environmental Health Team had raised objections to the use outside of the hours 0730 to 2000.  The scale and form of the proposed building would look unusual in the street scene, though the materials would match those in the area.  Members noted that the car parking provision was adequate, however, the issue was in relation to residential amenity.  It was a quiet area and the proposed use would attract people early mornings and late evenings.  The Strategic Director, Regeneration reported that the applicant had provided a calendar of prayer times, which commenced prior to 0700 hours and finished after 2300 hours.  He stated that if the use was restricted via a condition, then it would be nullified, however, the potential for large numbers of visitors to the site early or late would disturb residents.  The application was then recommended for refusal as per the reason set out in the report.       

 

In response to Members’ questions, the Strategic Director, Regeneration stated that:

 

·         On balance it was considered that there would be sufficient on-street parking to cope with the peak demand.

·         The other facility in the area operated similar hours to those proposed.

·         The hours of operation could be controlled by a condition but it may be  ...  view the full minutes text for item 22.
