Demolition of Mulberry House (Class D1) and erection of part 3, part 5 storey building providing 7 (3x1 & 4x2-bed) residential units (Class C3), 5 parking spaces, landscaping and associated works.

The Director of Environment and Neighbourhood Services submitted a report on the above application.  An update report was tabled at the meeting which set out further consultation responses received with officer comments on the issues raised, and recommended an additional condition to require planning permission for changes to the unit mix.  The additional condition was further amended at the meeting to require written consent rather than planning permission.

Comments and objections were received and considered.

Objectors Mike Turner, Christopher Woodhams, Ian Stern and J Richardson, and the agent Dan Roycroft, attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this application.

Resolved -

(1)      That the Head of Planning, Development and Regulatory Services be authorised to grant planning permission, subject to the completion of a Section 106 legal agreement by 20 February 2019 (unless a later date be agreed by the Head of Planning, Development and Regulatory Services), to secure the Heads of Terms set out in the report;

(2)      That, in the event of the requirements set out not being met, the Head of Planning, Development and Regulatory Services be authorised to refuse permission;

(3)      That planning permission be subject to the conditions and informatives recommended in the original report, with an additional condition that no change to the unit mix (3x1-bed and 4x2-bed units) shall be made to the development hereby permitted without written consent from the Local Planning Authority.
