Minutes:

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

 

(a)       102 Beechwood Avenue, Bradford                               Wibsey         

             

A householder planning application for a single storey side extension, a single storey rear extension, a hip to gable roof alteration and front and rear box style dormer windows at 102 Beechwood Avenue, Bradford - 17/03045/HOU

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the application proposed the construction of extensions to the side and rear, roof alterations and the installation of dormer windows.  It was noted that 17 representations had been received in support and against the scheme and the issues were covered in the report.  The development would impact on neighbours and visual amenity, however, the roof alterations and rear dormer window could be constructed under permitted development rights.  The rear and side extensions exceeded the requirements, but could be altered and also built without prior planning approval.  The Strategic Director, Place then recommended the application for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

 

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

 

·         Most of the alterations could be completed without planning permission.

·         The development would not enhance the property or area.

·         The amendments would not bring the house up to modern standards.

·         There were not any similar dormers in the area or on Beechwood Avenue.

 

In response the Strategic Director, Place confirmed that the hipped to gable roof alteration could change the character of the property, however, the proposal could be carried out under permitted development rights.

 

Resolved –

 

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

 

Action: Strategic Director, Place

 

 

(b)       71 Beacon Road, Bradford                                              Wibsey

           

A full planning permission is sought for the formation of enlarged existing front porch and a lobby extension to the rear at 71 Beacon Road, Bradford - 17/03281/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the application sought the formation of an enlarged existing front porch and a lobby extension to the rear of the property, which had been once been a surgery and had now been converted to a Mosque and Madrassa.  In 1988 a change of use was granted to Class D1, which permitted the building to be used as a place of worship and a ramp access would be provided to both entrances.  Members were informed that the grills on the windows and the signage did not have planning permission, however, retrospective applications would be submitted.  The Strategic Director, Place stated that a number of objections had been received and the issues were covered in the report.  He confirmed that the Council’s Drainage and Highway Departments had not submitted any representations.  It was noted that the proposal was acceptable and the application was acceptable  ...  view the full minutes text for item 16.
