Minutes:

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

 

(a)     1 Odsal Road, Bradford                                                      Wibsey

 

A full planning application for the construction of a restaurant with drive-through facility and remodelling of the existing car park at the former Wiltex House site, Odsal Road, Bradford - 18/02484/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He reported that the application was for the construction of offices and a restaurant with access via the existing points on Odsal and Halifax Roads.  Acoustic fencing would be installed to a height of 2 metres along the boundary with residential properties and the design mirrored that of the existing restaurant.  The application was then recommended for approval subject to the conditions as set out in the report and revisions to conditions 4 and 10.

 

A Ward Councillor was present at the meeting and stated that:

 

·         The close proximity to residential accommodation on Sutcliffe Place and Elmfield Drive was a concern.

·         Why was the restaurant not being built away from residential properties?

·         Would the acoustic fence be 1.8 or 2 metres in height?

·         The current operation had problems with noise, traffic and litter from customers and staff.

·         Litter was an issue.

·         There were no conditions to tackle the existing problem.

·         The acoustic fencing may deal with noise from the drive through, but the development would be over 2 metres high and there would be noise from ventilation systems.

·         The development would cause problems for local residents.

·         The licensing application stated that there was an intention to show films, however, this was not mentioned on the planning application.

·         The noise problems occurred between 2300 and 0600 hours and the hours should be reviewed.

·         The Planning Inspector had overturned the Panel’s decision to refuse the existing restaurant and issues had occurred.

 

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

 

·         The drawings detailed a 1.8 metre high fence, therefore, condition 4 would need to be amended.  The noise survey had suggested that a 2 metre high fence be installed along the Sutcliffe Lane and Elmfield Drive boundaries.

·         The existing problems were a site management issue and beyond the scope of the Planning Panel.

·         The Council’s Environmental Health Unit was satisfied with the proposals.

·         The development would not cause significant harm to recommend refusal.

·         It had previously been the site of a police station.

·         Condition 13 related to the ventilation equipment and requested that details be submitted prior to the building being brought into use.

·         The showing of films was not a planning issue and could not be considered.

·         The hours were the same as the other restaurant on the site.

 

In response to a Member’s query surrounding the acoustic fence, the Strategic Director, Place confirmed that it would be located along the side boundary.  Further details were required, however, the fence would not cause further issues for residents and it would not  ...  view the full minutes text for item 22.
