(Mohammed Yousuf – 01274 434605) Minutes: The Strategic Director, Place presented Document “C”. Plans and photographs were displayed in respect of each application and representations summarised.
a) 3 Whetley Hill Resource Centre, Whetley Hill, Manningham Bradford
A full planning application for the change of use of the existing building from use class D1 to class B1 and B8 (offices with storage) at 3 Whetley Hill Resource Centre, Bradford - 17/02653/FUL
The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout. He explained that the application was for the change of use to offices with storage at an existing building that had access from Whetley Hill and offered car parking provision along with a vehicle turning area. The conversion would be from Class D1 to B1 and B8 and the proposed use was considered to be appropriate, as the building was located in a mixed use area. There were a number of protected trees to the front of the site, which would remain and the existing access provided good visibility. A number of representations in objection and support had been received and the issues were covered in the report. The Strategic Director, Place confirmed that there would not be any noise and disturbance issues, however, if Members were minded to approve the application, it was recommended that the hours of use be restricted. The access and loading had been assessed by the Council’s Highways Department and would not have any highway safety implications. Members were informed that the building was vacant and needed to be brought back into use. The application was then recommended for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report and subject to the alteration of Condition 2 to restrict the hours of operation.
The applicant’s agent was at the meeting and stated that:
· The recommendation was clear. · The Council had decided to sell the building and transfer the community use elsewhere. · The building could have been purchased for community use. · The Council’s Highways Department had not objected to the application. · The site would not be accessed by very large trucks. · There was a loading point on the building. · Litter was being dumped at the site as it was empty and its use would dissuade this from occurring. · There was no time limit on the use. · Condition 2 would be amended to reflect the trading of the nearby shopping parade. · The business would be selling high quality textiles. · It would be better for the site to be used.
In response to a Member’s concern regarding the operating hours, the Strategic Director, Place reported that the local centre was nearby and it had been proposed that the premises would open from 10 am. He indicated that the loading and unloading of vehicles could be conditioned, however, this would only occur once or twice per week. The amended operating hours would safeguard residential amenity and the premises would usually be closed on a Friday for prayers. Other Members stated that the proposed operating hours were ... view the full minutes text for item 10. |
