Minutes:

1. Proposal - Redevelopment of site  to provide 9 x residential units (comprising 1 x 1 bed, 6 x 2 bed and 2 x 3 bed flats) and 177.5 square metres of commercial space on ground floor.

 

2. Extra Condition – Stone Panels – As part their oral representations, the applicants representative clarified that the proposed external materials included stone panels, not concrete panels.  Officers indicated that it would possible to impose an extra condition requiring that the external panels proposed shall be stone panels.  As indicated below, the Committee subsequently agreed to this extra condition.

 

3. Extra Condition – Shop Window – In response to concerns expressed by residents and members about the appearance of the proposed shop window for the commercial part of the development, officers indicated that it would possible to impose an extra condition requiring that the proposed shop window be redesigned so as to be more in keeping with its neighbours. As indicated below, the Committee subsequently agreed to this extra condition.

 

4. Extra Informative – Windows and Brickwork – Members supported suggestions made by residents that windows (for the residential units) should be white sash windows; and that the brickwork should tend towards yellow (rather than red).  Officers advised that it would be inappropriate at this stage to impose a requirement (via a further extra condition) specifying the use of such materials, as they needed to be seen together with other external materials (due to be submitted);  and instead officers suggested that an appropriate informative be imposed advising that such materials would be preferred.  As indicated below, the Committee subsequently agreed to this extra informative.

 

5. Delegation - As indicated below, the Committee subsequently also agreed that officers be delegated authority to agree the detailed wording of the above extra conditions and informative.
