(a)     28 Wensleydale Road, Bradford                                       Bradford Moor

 

Construction of single storey rear extension at 28 Wensleydale Road, Bradford - 17/06177/HOU

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the proposal was for the construction of a single storey extension to a terraced property that had been previously extended.  The scheme would provide bathroom facilities for a disabled occupant and it was believed that their needs would outweigh the issues raised.  It was noted that the extension was well designed and modest in scale.  The Strategic Director, Place then recommended the application for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

 

The applicant’s agent was present at the meeting and informed the Panel that the application had been submitted by a Ward Councillor and would improve the quality of life for an occupant.

 

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)     59 Town Gate, Wyke, Bradford                                         Wyke

 

A full planning application for the change of use of the building from a solicitor’s office to a private hire taxi office (radio controlled) for four taxis at 59 Town Gate, Wyke - 17/04061/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He reported that the application proposed a change of use from a solicitor’s office to a private hire taxi office in a property that was located in a row of listed buildings.  There were existing double yellow lines along the site frontage and traffic management measures were in place.  Amended plans had been received and five off-street car parking spaces would now be provided, with access through Oakenshaw Court, which met the Council’s requirements.  The application was then recommended for approval, subject to the conditions set out in the report.

 

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

 

·         The car parking spaces would be provided within the red line boundary.

·         The number of vehicles could not be conditioned, however, the Council required one parking space per vehicle or five spaces.

·         There was existing car parking to the rear of the property and new spaces would be provided.

·         There were double yellow lines in the area and the applicant had agreed to provide four or five car parking spaces.

·         Each application had to be assessed on its own merits and the suggestion was that four vehicles would operate from the site.

·         Other business in the row had their own parking provision.

·         The parking was informal at the rear.

·         It was accepted there would be some manoeuvring issues for a couple of the spaces, however, vehicles would have the right to park there as long as they did not cause an obstruction.
