Application pursuant of 21/00834/FL toallow for 4 mid-terrace bungalows to be 1.5 storey dwellings at The Old Station, Station Road, Killamarsh

 

 

(Planning Manager – Development Management)

 

The report to Planning Committee explained that an Application had been submitted to allow for four, mid-terrace bungalows, to be constructed as 1.5 storey dwellings. This would form part of the existing planning permission, under NED/21/00834/FL, to build 13 bungalows at The Old Station, Station Road Killamarsh.

 

The Application had been submitted by Local Ward Member, Councillor S Clough, who had raised concerns about it.

 

Committee was asked to approve the Application, subject to the conditions set out in the report.

 

The report to Committee explained why Members were asked to approve the recommendations. Officers felt the proposal would only require a minor alteration to the existing scheme. They contended that it would not have a greater material impact and so should be approved.

 

Before Members discussed the Application those registered to speak were asked to address the Committee. The Agent, Daniel Bull spoke in support of the Application. There were no other speakers.

 

Committee considered the Application. It took into account the relevant Planning Issues. It considered the Principle of Development, the site’s location within the Killamarsh settlement development limits and its allocation for housing within the adopted Local Plan.

 

Members discussed the Application. They sought and received clarification that the proposed changes would only affect the specified four dwellings. They discussed what impact the changes might have on the amenity on neighbouring properties and if this would be different to the impact of the existing application.

 

At the conclusion of the discussion Councillor A Cooper and P Antcliff moved and seconded a motion to approve the Application, in line with officer recommendations.

 

The motion was put to the vote and was agreed.

 

RESOLVED -

 

(1)  That Planning permission is conditionally approved in accordance with officer recommendations.

 

(2)  That the final wording and content of the conditions be delegated to the Planning Manager (Development Manager).
