PERMISSION

Description of application—Erection of a two storey detached dwelling and a pair of semi-detached houses.

Oral representations in support of the application were received by the Committee.

Councillor Owen objected to the application and proposed that permission be refused.

Councillor Harris stated that she had visited the property, and that in her view it was the least attractive property in the road and was in dire need of renovation. She expressed the view that Members should support the officer recommendations for permission and that it would add two much needed family homes.

Councillor Boughey said that she did not feel that there would be any conflict with the character of the road or the area, and that the application should be permitted.

Councillor Gabbert was in favour of refusing the application.

Councillor Harris motioned that the application be permitted and this was seconded by Councillor Boughey. 

RESOLVED that permission is granted, subject to the conditions outlined in the report andamendments to Condition 13 as follows:

13. An acoustic assessment shall be submitted to the Local Planning Authority for approval in writing prior to commencement of the development. A scheme of mitigation, as necessary in light of the results of the assessment, (covering façade, glazing and ventilation specifications) shall achieve levels not exceeding 30dB LAeq (night) and 45dB LAmax (measured with F time weighting) for bedrooms, 35dB LAeq (day) for other habitable rooms, with window shut and other means of ventilation provided. Once approved the mitigation shall be installed fully in accordance with the approved scheme and permanently maintained thereafter.
