Two objectors had registered to speak in relation to the proposed scheme, and at the request of the Chair, had raised a number of points, including

·         the proposal was an overdevelopment;

·         little regard was given for the existing residents who would be most impacted by this development;

·        the development did not provide good quality attractive nor affordable homes;

·        impact on noise and disturbance during the construction process

The applicant’s agent had registered to speak, and at the request of the Chair, informed the Committee that the scheme was designed to provide good quality affordable houses and met or exceeded development standards in respect of daylight and overlooking.

The Committee acknowledged that is was prudent to safeguard the residence and to make sure that the impact of construction was at the minimum. Members’ attention was drawn to condition 14, which stated that ‘No development should take place until a Demolition and Construction Method Statement has been submitted and that the approved Statement should be adhered to throughout the demolition and construction period’ to ensure the amenities of future occupiers and those in the local vicinity were protected.
