PLANNING APPLICATIONS RECOMMENDED FOR APPROVAL OR REFUSAL The Panel is asked to consider the planning applications which are set out in Document “M” relating to items recommended for approval or refusal.
The sites concerned are:
(Mohammed Yousuf – 01274 434605) Minutes: The Strategic Director, Place presented Document “M”. Plans and photographs were displayed in respect of each application and representations summarised.
(a) 11 and 13 Apperley Road, Bradford Idle & Thackley
A full planning application for the construction of two detached dwellings on land to the rear of 11 and 13 Apperley Road, Bradford - 17/04916/FUL
The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout. He informed Members that the site was located within a residential area and the application proposed the construction of two detached dwellings. The scheme had been amended in order to overcome the impact on neighbouring houses. The ground level of the site would be lowered by 500 millimetres, the distances between properties was appropriate and two parking spaces would be provided per unit. The Strategic Director, Place then recommended the application for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.
A Ward Councillor was present at the meeting and raised the following concerns:
· The report stated that it was a sustainable site. · The scheme failed to meet the social need as there was a great deal of single occupancy in the area. · The natural environment would be destroyed and a historic wall threatened. · The development would impact on the homes next to the site. · The existing wall was 10 feet in height. · The proposed houses would overshadow number 8 and 10 Coleridge Gardens. · Neighbouring properties would be over dominated. · The proposed houses would be able to see into neighbours’ habitable rooms. · There would be an impact on the houses on Apperley Road. · The impact on the old retaining wall raised concerns. · A site visit should be undertaken and further consideration given to the proposal. · The proposed access used to be the driveway for 13 Apperley Road. · The drainage system was not sustainable or suitable.
In response to the points raised, the Strategic Director, Place clarified that:
· The Council had a duty to provide a mix of housing and there was a shortfall in the District. · The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) did not prioritise sites. · Housing was acceptable on the site and conformed to policies. · Trees had been cut down prior to the submission of the application, so the matter could not be assessed and their removal could not have been prevented. · A footnote had been placed on the application in relation to the duty of care for wildlife. · The amended plans resolved the impact on neighbours. · A condition requiring a survey on the wall had been placed on the application. · The criteria and distances between windows had been met. · Overlooking could not be justified as a reason for refusal.
The Strategic Director, Place then replied to Members’ queries:
· The ground floor windows would be obscured by the stone wall, the 25 degree line had been complied with and the roof lights would be subject to conditions. · It was assumed that the site previously belonged to 11 and 13 Apperley Road. · The distance to the ... view the full minutes text for item 38. |
