Proposal: Outline application for the erection of one detached dwelling with associated parking

 

The Planning Officer advised that as the previous application (17/00917/COU) had been granted permission, the only remaining issue was the layout of the site.  He said there was some potential for overlooking but this could be overcome by design at the reserved matters stage and he recommended approving the application.

 

The Development Manager confirmed that a similar legal agreement would be required as for the previous application to convert the pub to a house at the same time as developing the car park. 

 

During a very brief discussion it was noted that the Ward Member (not in attendance) would not have supported the proposal, however, as the previous application had been granted permission, the two were linked together.  It was proposed and seconded to approve the application again subject to the applicant entering into a S106 Obligation, requiring the change of use of the public house (17/00917/COU) to be commenced prior to the implementation of the erection of the dwelling hereby considered, and following any subsequent application for reserved matters. On being put to the vote, this was carried (voting: 7 in favour, 4 against, 0 abstentions).
