Officer Recommendation:
Grant Variation of Condition 2 of Planning Permission 15/P2070 subject to conditions and deed of variation of S.106 agreement.

1. Proposal - Variation of Condition 2 of Planning Permission 15/P2070for the 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. Consultation – Officers advised that paragraph 5.1 (line 3), referring to the 8 representations received, should be corrected to read “4 objections and 4 expressing support” (instead of “6 objections and 2 expressing support”).

3. Brickwork – Samples of the proposed new brickwork for the development were displayed at the meeting and were available for inspection..

4. Rear Wall of 48 Trafalgar Road – Officers referred  to an objector’s suggestion that the rear wall of 48 Trafalgar Road be replaced at the existing height of 3,6m (instead of 2.1m as proposed in the development) in order to protect the security and amenities of neighbouring occupiers.  Officers advised that 2.1m was the standard height for walls between neighbours.

5. Penthouse Flat – Screening Condition – A member queried whether a condition had been imposed further to paragraph 7.19 of the officer report which stated that “a condition could be imposed on any approval to include obscure glazed screening to the rear elevation (of the penthouse flat) of at least 1,8m, as was the previous case for the previous planning permission 15/P2070”.  Officers advised that the conditions imposed on the original planning permission 15/P2070 would still continue to apply (subject to any changes approved at this meeting) and undertook to check that such a screening condition would still apply.
