To consider a report of the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration with regard to this application.
Minutes:
The Committee had before it a * report of the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration regarding the above application which had been deferred from the previous meeting to allow for further discussions to take place with the applicant with regard to the footway, the bin store and its location and how refuse collection would be best managed.
The Area Planning officer outlined the contents of the report referring to the issues raised at the previous meeting; informing those present that the scheme did not include a footpath but a tarmaced shared surface and that the drive would not be adopted by the Highway Authority but was being built to an adoptable standard up to the turning head to allow for access to the 5 dwellings. Discussions had taken place with the Waste Service with regard to waste collection. Waste Services had confirmed that if the access drive was built to an adoptable standard and was suitably insured with indemnity insurance, refuse vehicles would access the site. There would therefore be no need for bin storage within the site at the junction between the access drive and Mayfair. She highlighted by way of presentation a revised drawing supplied by the applicant which depicted the detail of the proposed access, the site layout plans and photographs from various aspects of the site.
Consideration was given to:
· The access road would only benefit the 5 dwellings on the site and there would be no thoroughfare onto the land beyond.
· The shared surface and whether there would be any road markings
· The documents available on ‘Public Access’
· The response of the Lead Local Flood Authority
· Who would be responsible for the maintenance of the roadway
· The views of the applicant’s agent with regard to reducing the capital works required and the carbon footprint of the site, the quality of the build and the work that had taken place with the local Highway Authority.
RESOLVED that planning permission be granted subject to conditions as recommended by the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration.
