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

 

(a)  & (b)         1 Booth Royd, Bradford                                       Idle & Thackley

           

(a)  Application for listed building consent for the installation of boundary walling and gates and various internal alterations at 1 Booth Royd, Bradford - 17/00792/LBC

 

(b)  Installation of boundary walling and gates at 1 Booth Royd, Bradford -17/02962/HOU

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He informed Members that the application was for the installation of boundary walling, gates and other internal alterations and listed building consent.  The property was situated on an unadopted road that was not a public right of way and the scheme proposed that the existing wall be moved.  The Strategic Director, Place reported that concerns had been raised that it would be difficult for vehicles to turn around in the road, however, it had been considered that there would be sufficient room to manoeuvre.  He confirmed that the existing pedestrian access would be maintained and recommended the application for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

 

A Ward Councillor was present at the meeting and stated that:

 

·         He had no objections to the existing alterations.

·         He was concerned about heritage and highway safety.

·         It was a wide open cobbled courtyard.

·         The Heritage Team had not objected to the proposal, however, he believed that the proposal would have an impact on a historical part of Idle, as the courtyard would become a fenced off area.

·         The report stated that vehicles would be able to turn around and exit, but they would probably reverse out onto Town Lane.

·         It was an informal turning area and served a purpose.

·         The application should be refused.

 

In response the Strategic Director, Place acknowledged that it was a wide open courtyard now, however, the gate could be offset without planning permission and confirmed that it was a private matter as to whether the land owner permitted access on to their land.

 

An objector was present at the meeting and made the following comments:

 

·         He had lived at 2 Booth Royd Drive for 43 years.

·         His property had a right of way and access.

·         It was an unadopted public highway.

·         It was the only means of access for nine houses.

·         It was not fair that one owner could restrict access.

·         The previous owner had permitted vehicles to turn in the area.

·         If gates were installed then vehicles would have to make multi point manoeuvres.

 

Another objector outlined the following points:

 

·         He lived opposite the site on Town Lane.

·         The proposal would encroach on residents’ pathways.

·         Vehicles would have to reverse onto the main road.

·         It was near to schools.

·         There was a pedestrian crossing nearby.

·         Vehicles had managed to turn around previously.

 

The applicant was present at the meeting and addressed the Panel:

 

·         She was currently renovating the property.

·         The gates would protect the historical site, as stone had  ...  view the full minutes text for item 5.
