PERMISSION

 

Minutes:

Description of application – Detached garden building to provide single person disabled accommodation.

 

Members supported the need for the living accommodation for the family member however in the spirit of the personal permission concluded that the outbuilding should not be used as living accommodation after the need had ceased and therefore the kitchen and bathroom removed.

 

Members having considered the report, RESOLVED that PERMISSION be GRANTED as recommended, subject to the conditions set out in the report of Assistant Director, Planning with an amendment to Condition 4 to read:-

“4. The outbuilding hereby permitted shall remain ancillary to Number 1 Park Cottages and used as living accommodation for Mr I Jackson only. At the time that Mr I Jackson vacates the annexed accommodation the kitchen and the bathroom shall be removed within 3 months. The outbuilding accommodation shall then revert to incidental use and not continue as living accommodation for the occupants of 1 Park Cottages. At no point shall the site and outbuilding be severed to form a separate self-contained unit.

REASON: The annexed outbuilding is required specifically for the use of a disabled family member who requires independent living but support from the primary residence of Number 1 Park Cottages. It is also to ensure the provision of a satisfactory standard of accommodation; to protect the character and appearance of the Conservation Area from an unacceptable sub-division of the plot, as well as to protect neighbouring residential amenities. Finally, it is also to comply with Policies, 6, 7, 31 and 41 of the Bromley Local Plan.
