(a)       15 Prod Lane, Baildon                                                                  Baildon

Construction of detached dwelling at 15 Prod Lane, Baildon - 17/01702/FUL

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the application was for the construction of a detached dwelling that would be similar to the dormer bungalow known as 13B Prod Lane.  It was noted that improvements would be made to the driveway and parking would be provided at the rear for both properties.  A similar application had been granted on 25 February 2015 and the new submission had been slightly altered.  A number of representations had been received and a Ward Councillor had requested that the application be considered by the Panel.  The Strategic Director, Place informed the Panel that the principle of development had been accepted in 2015 and the scheme was similar to 13B Prod Lane, which was the adjoining plot.  He confirmed that the design and materials were comparable and the conditions were the same as those imposed on the permission granted in 2015.  The Council’s Highways Department had not objected to the scheme, Prod Lane was a reasonably wide road and had Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) restrictions in place.  The application was then recommended for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report. 

A Ward Councillor was present at the meeting and made the following comments:

·         The development would be detrimental to neighbours due to the rising nature of the site.

·         The proposed dwelling would be set further forward and have a higher roof line than the previously approved scheme.

·         Access to the property would require the demolition of the garage and this would create parking issues.

·         The other detached houses had not been completed when the original permission had been granted in 2015.

·         There were parking issues on Prod Lane due to the Shipley Glen Tramway.

·         The proposal would be an overdevelopment of the site.

·         The development would impact on the properties to the rear.

·         The application should be refused.

An objector was present at the meeting and commented that:

·         He lived to the north of the site and was representing other residents in the vicinity.

·         Permission had been granted in 2015 despite issues raised by neighbours.

·         The proposal was contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework, as the dwelling would be located in the wrong place.

·         It had been accepted that a bungalow would be constructed.

·         The new application was higher, wider, longer and have additional doors and windows than that previously approved.

·         The new proposal would be a larger property and have more occupants.

·         The principle of development was already in place as a dormer bungalow had been built on Prod Lane.

·         The proposal would breach the building line.

·         Valid objections to the scheme had been raised.

·         It was not a similar design to the existing approved scheme.

·         The proposal  ...  view the full minutes text for item 5.
