PERMISSION

Description of application – Erection of part subterranean detached 3 bedroom dwelling with associated access road at land at rear of 102 Nightingale Lane (Revision to application ref: 14/01887/FULL1 to include increased accommodation at the lower level beneath the garden level terrace).

Ward Member, Councillor Gabbert, speaking on behalf of all Bickley Ward members, considered the proposed development to be backland development of the worst kind. Notwithstanding that the current application was seeking a relatively minor alteration to the previously approved plans, she objected to the application and abstained from the vote.  If the application were permitted she expected Building Control Division to carefully monitor the building process and ensure the development be constructed in accordance with Building Regulations and the approved plans.

Members having considered the report and objections, RESOLVED that PERMISSION be GRANTED as recommended, subject to the conditions set out in the report of the Chief Planner with an informative to read:-

“INFORMATIVE:  The Applicant is advised that Members of the Committee suggested that the Council’s Building Control be notified of the start of works if they are not the appointed Inspector.”
