76 Potential Site Visits for Committee Items pdf icon PDF 71 KB

Minutes:

The Executive Director for Economic Growth and Neighbourhood Services submitted a schedule of applications to be considered at future meetings of the Committee to enable Councillors to decide which sites, if any, they wished to visit prior to determining the relevant applications, and a list of previously agreed site visits.

 

It was reported at the meeting that the applications for 211714 – 70-78 Wokingham Road and 220123 – 9 Eldon Square had now been refused by officers and so the site visits to those sites scheduled for 26 January 2023 were no longer needed.

 

It was also reported at the meeting that a resident near the site for application 221405 – Land at Battle Street had requested that the Committee view the site from their property and the Committee agreed to take up this opportunity, requiring the site visit to be changed from unaccompanied to accompanied.

 

Resolved –

 

That the under-mentioned applications, together with any additional applications which the Assistant Director of Planning, Transport and Public Protection Services might consider appropriate, be the subject of accompanied site visits:

 

221364/FUL – 36-42 LONDON STREET

Demolition of existing building (mural wall to be retained and restored), construction of new building to accommodate a community hall (Use Class F2) and 17 no. residential flats (Use Class C3), with associated works and landscaping.

221405/FUL – LAND AT BATTLE STREET

Clearance and taking up of existing hardstanding and structures from the site, erection of seven buildings, up to four storeys in height, containing 49 affordable dwellings (Class C3 use), supported living accommodation (Class C2 residential institution use), and older persons day centre (Class E(f)), and associated roadways, car parking, open space and other infrastructure.
