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

 

(a)     9 Meadowcroft Close, Bradford                                        Idle &

                                                                                                            Thackley

 

A full application for the construction of two dwellings on land to the East of 9 Meadowcroft Close, Bradford - 17/03372/FUL

 

An objector was present at the meeting and raised the following concerns:

 

·         The application was considered to be borne out of greed.

·         Meadowcroft Close was a unique cul-de-sac and one of the most desirable in Idle.

·         He considered the Strategic Director’s report to be biased and the summary of objections to be inadequately stated.

·         The report stated ‘land to the east’ but the land was a driveway, with a conservatory and two garages.

·         The proposed plot sizes would be 21% smaller than the five existing properties.

·         He considered the report to be contradictory as it stated that the proposed dwelling would have matching eaves heights but would be approximately 200 millimetres higher than neighbouring properties. The report stated that this increase in height would ‘not be readily discernible’; he queried by whose standards this decision had been made and asked the Panel to take this into account.

·         He did not consider it to be fair to apply Policy HO5 (density of housing schemes) or HO8 (housing mix) to this application.

·         In relation to the proposed gables, the report stated that there were a variety of existing gabled elevations fronting onto the street scene, which was incorrect.

 

In response to some of the comments made, the Strategic Director, Place explained that:

 

·         Policies used to determine the application were district-wide.

·         He did not consider that the 200 millimetres difference in eaves height between the proposed property and the neighbouring property to be out of context when viewed from ground level.

·         He did not consider that the proposed gables would look out of character for the area as there were a variety of different housing designs.

 

The applicant’s agent was at the meeting and stated that:

 

·         The base build of the proposed dwellings was based on the current build of the surrounding properties.

·         The original application was for two six bedroom dwellings which was reduced in size to two four bedroom dwellings following objections from neighbours about their scale and size.

·         The public sewer which currently ran between the two properties would be diverted with boundary planting for privacy.

·         There was not a big difference in eaves height (200 millimetres).

 

Resolved –

 

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