Minutes:

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

 

(a)       2 Tower Road, Saltaire, Shipley                                                    Shipley

 

Full planning application for construction of two dwellings on land at 2 Tower Road, Saltaire, Shipley – 16/03326/FUL

 

The Strategic Director, Regeneration gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He reported that the proposal was for the construction of two semi detached properties in a side garden of an existing house that was located on a reasonably wide sloping street.   There was residential parking on the street and a row of terraced properties faced onto the garden.  The site had a stone wall boundary and could be accessed via a back street between the terraced houses and the garden site.  Members were informed that the proposal was to construct a pair of two storey houses with rooms in the roof space that would be 9.8 metres wide and comparable in height to the existing property.  The dwellings would be set back from the road and have parking provision.  The garage and parking would also be retained for 2 Tower Road.  It was noted that a number of objections had been received, including two from Ward Councillors and the issues were outlined in the officer’s report.  The Strategic Director, Regeneration confirmed that there would be 13 metres between Bingley Road and the proposed development and 21 metres between the new houses and Dallam House.  He explained that the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) stated that applications should be considered on their own merits.  The site was an infill gap and the proposal would increase the density in the street.  There was an assortment of houses in the area and the character of the street scene would be maintained.  It was noted that the site was located on a relatively busy route, however, it was acknowledged that parking would be provided for the new development and retained for the existing property.  The Council’s Highways Department had not objected to the scheme and, therefore, the application was recommended for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

 

In response to a Member’s query, the Strategic Director, Regeneration confirmed that another application would have to be submitted if dormer windows were to be added.

 

A couple of objectors were present at the meeting and made the following statements:

 

·        The pleasant view would be blocked by houses.

·        The kitchen and dining room of his property was located on the lower floor.

·        The rear of his property was used more than the front, as it was beside a busy main road.

·        Traffic was an issue in the area.

·        The proposal did not meet the requirements of the NPPF.

·        Safety y was an issue.

·        Tower Road was used as a ‘rat run’ at busy periods due to the traffic in Saltaire.

·        Bin collection days were problematic.

·        It was an awkward street for existing residents.

·        The proposal was out of character  ...  view the full minutes text for item 9.
