Front and rear dormer window with single storey rear extension and basement at 27 Ambleside Avenue, Bradford - 18/02695/HOU

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He reported that a previous application had been granted in May 2018 and this application was the same with the addition of a basement element, which would cause very little impact.

 

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)     60-62 Union Road, Bradford                                              Royds

 

A full application for the demolition of a dormer bungalow and construction of two semi-detached dwellings at 60-62 Union Road, Low Moor, Bradford - 18/01215/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He confirmed that the application requested the demolition of a bungalow and the construction of two semi-detached properties on an overgrown site.  The street consisted of a variety of dwellings and the design had been amended in order to take into account the impact on the adjacent dwellings.  The relationship with number 58 would be improved, however, the landlord of the property had raised concerns in relation to the potential of structural damage, disturbance to the occupiers and the depreciation of his property.  The Strategic Director, Place clarified that the Party Wall Act would cover the issue of potential damage and it was a private matter.  He reported that there was sufficient parking provision for the proposed dwellings and then recommended the application for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

 

An objector was present at the meeting and outlined the following issues:

 

·         The building was not a bungalow, it was cottages and had been there since 1850.

·         The property had been vacant for many years.

·         It had been sold via auction and for renovation purposes only.

·         He was surprised that it would be demolished, as the building was solid.

·         It should remain as two properties.

·         The dwelling adjoined number 58.

·         Structural damage was a concern.

·         The groundworks necessary to construct two storey properties would be extensive and cause issues for the houses on either side.

·         The site was originally unmade ground that sloped and was then dug out and levelled.

·         The flow of water on the site was a problem and it would cause issues for the proposed houses.

·         The construction would affect local residents and cause issues for adjoining properties.

·         Local residents were concerned about parking.

·         It was not known why four bedroom houses would be required in the area.

·         He believed that the houses should remain as they were.

 

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

 

·         The existing bungalow was in a bad state of repair.

·         The lead flashing  ...  view the full minutes text for item 11.
