A full planning application for the construction of a two storey side and rear extension, amendments to an existing porch and the removal of an existing garage at 11 Knightsbridge Walk, Bradford - 17/00253/HOU

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He informed Members that the application proposed the construction of a side and rear extension, amendments to an existing porch and the removal of the existing garage.  It was noted that an application for a two storey extension had previously been refused at the premises and subsequently allowed on appeal.  A number of objections had been received and the issues were addressed in the officer’s report.  The Strategic Director, Place confirmed that the existing access would be widened and an integral garage provided.  He then recommended the application for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

 

In response to Members’ queries, the Strategic Director, Place stated that:

 

·         The property currently had two large and one small bedroom and would have two large and three small bedrooms upon completion.

·         The Council required 1.5 car parking spaces per development and three spaces had been proposed.

·         There was sufficient space for service vehicle access and if cars obstructed the road it was a police matter.

·         There was an existing 1.2 metre gap to the side of the property and this would remain.

 

The applicant was present at the meeting and made the following comments:

 

·         The concerns raised regarding the plans were in relation to parking and the proposed buildings.

·         Three parking spaces would be provided.

·         He was aware of the issues in the vicinity regarding refuse collection and parking.

·         The previous proposal had been too close to shared boundaries, however, the scheme had now been amended and provided the required 7 metre separation distance.

·         All the issues raised by neighbours had been accommodated.

·         The development would not overlook adjacent properties.

·         If approved, it would be ensured that skips would not be placed on the road.

·         The existing third bedroom was very small and the new bedrooms would provide space for his growing family.

·         The proposal was the same as the extension to the neighbouring property that had four to five bedrooms.

 

Resolved –

 

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