Conservation Area Consent for demolition of existing buildings and erection of part 4 / part single storey building to accommodate 40 extra care units and provision of 9 off-street parking spaces.

RECOMMENDATION: Grant conservation area consent.

The Planning Officer informed the Committee that the existing building had undergone substantial external redevelopment by way of unsympathetic additions and its contribution to the Conservation Area had been eroded.  The existing building made a ‘neutral’ contribution to the Conservation Area.

The substantial community benefit associated with this proposal was considered to represent an exceptional case and the argument for the demolition was considered acceptable.

The Committee was asked to consider Conservation Area Consent for the demolition of existing buildings and erection of part 4 / part single storey building to accommodate 40 extra care units and provision of 9 off-street parking spaces.

RESOLVED

That Conservation Area Consent be granted for the demolition of existing buildings and the erection of a part 4 / part single storey building to accommodate 40 extra care units and provision of 9 off-street parking spaces as the application outlined in PC     was granted.

Cllr Bevan entered the meeting at 20:20hrs.
