(b)       68 Wesley Place, Halifax Road, Keighley        Keighley East

A full planning application for the demolition of an existing building and construction of new dwelling at 68 Wesley Place, Halifax Road, Keighley - 18/00196/FUL

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the site was formerly a small corner shop and that planning permission had been granted to convert it into a one bedroomed flat in 2009.  The application had received seven representations in objection and 12 in support.  The main concerns raised related to obstructions from parked vehicles and overshadowing of neighbouring properties on Pear Street, however, the Highways Officer did not consider there to be a need for the applicant to provide additional car parking spaces than already proposed for the two-bedroom house and the properties on Pear Street were considered a significant distance away so no significant loss of light, overbearing or overshadowing was expected to result from the proposal.  He stated that the proposed house would be subservient to the adjacent terrace house, maintaining the traditional appearance along Halifax Road.  He referred to an area of land to the front of the building which was indicated on the plan as a bin storage area and stated that he considered it adequate.  He said that the proposal would provide housing and improve a derelict area.  The application was then recommended for approval.

In response to a Member’s questions, the Strategic Director, Place stated that it would be difficult to enforce the storage of bins off the highway but reiterated that there was a condition included to ensure the proposed bin storage area was implemented prior to the occupation of the building. 

The applicant was present at the meeting and made the following points:

·         The car parking proposal would not cause any obstructions and provided 150% of the required provision.

·         There was a bus stop nearby which could be used by the occupying residents of the property.

·         The proposed house would fit in with the street scene.

·         The building had been derelict for over 10 years and the proposal would bring it back into use.
