In respect of plan no. DC077639 for the erection of 4no. 3 bedroom terraced houses (Use Class C3(a)), with associated landscaping, boundary treatments, cycle storage and segregated waste management, following demolition of existing detached bungalow at 22 Gladstone Street, Great Moor,

two members of the public spoke against the application; and

two representatives of the applicant spoke in support of the application.

It was then

MOVED AND SECONDED - That the application be referred to the Planning & Highways Regulation Committee in the light of the concerns of the Area Committee over the intensification of the use of the site and the potential that this might result in an inadequacy of car parking provision within the locality and a consequent severe detrimental effect on highway safety; and with a further request for additional information from the highway engineer on their assessment of the traffic survey

AMENDMENT MOVED AND SECONDED – That planning permission be refused on the grounds that the intensification of the use of the site would result in an over development of the site; that the parking survey had been conducted at such a time that the results generated did not accurately represent the pressure on parking capacity in the area and as a result would cause an inadequacy of car parking provision within the locality and a consequent severe detrimental effect on highway safety.

For the amendment 4, against 2.
