The Committee considered a report on the application to grant planning permission for the erection of building behind retained Archway Road facade and fronting Causton Road to provide 25 residential dwellings (Class C3) at basement, ground, first, second and third floor level, including retention side return wall on Causton Road. Demolition of all existing buildings to the rear. Retention of retail floor space unit at ground floor level (Class A1). Change of use of part ground floor and part basement from retail (Class A1) to Class B1 use. Provision of associated residential amenity space, landscaping and car parking. The report set out details of the proposal, the site and surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, analysis, equalities and human rights implications and recommended to grant permission subject to conditions and subject to a s106 legal agreement.

The planning officer gave a short presentation highlighting the key aspects of the report.

A number of objectors addressed the Committee. In order to allow clarification to be sought on claims the daylight/sunlight report omitted reference to a number of windows to neighbouring properties on Causton Road, the Chair agreed in discussion with the Head of Development Management to defer the application to a future meeting.

RESOLVED

·         That the application be deferred.
