Issue - meetings

Erection of part single story/part two storey/part three storey side and front extensions, and use of the building including rear shed as a cultural community centre.

RECOMMENDATION: Grant permission subject to conditions.

This item had been deferred from the previous meeting of the Committee on 11 January 2010. The Committee considered a report, previously circulated, which gave details of the application, the applicant’s case, the site and its environment, planning history and all of the relevant planning factors and policies.

The Planning Officer gave a summary of the report submitted and took questions from the Committee. It was reported the plans had been revised to address the issues raised at the site visit by Committee Members in respect of fenestration.

In response to concerns raised by the Committee that there was a need for increased signage for the new spine road, it was agreed that Cllr Dodds would contact Transport regarding this issue directly, outside the meeting.

In response to a question from the Committee regarding the suggestion for a green roof, it was confirmed that Condition 4 could be varied to include the requirement for a green roof, and this was agreed by the Committee. It was agreed that an additional Condition 4 be placed on the consent seeking sustainable measures be incorporated into the design.

In response to a concern raised by the Committee that the proposed structure was too close to existing flats, it was reported that, further to a requirement for the applicant to move the three-storey element further from the block, the gap between the structures was felt to be acceptable.

It was further agreed that an informative be added that the community centre should work with other cultural centres and industrial units in the area to maximise parking in industrial areas during evening hours to reduce the impact of parking in the local area.
