30. AMENDMENTS TO PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS
i) P10/W0631 (Minor) 112 London Road. Proposed conversion and minor extension of existing dwelling house to allow the business of childminding for up to nine children. Construction of new vehicular access from the London Road – Recommend Refusal – Amendment – revised plan and as clarified by applicant’s e-mail dated 16 July 2010)
2 letters of objection were read and one of them, Mr J Fox as given permission to address the meeting.
The meeting Agreed to Recommend Refusal. The amendment did nothing to change the Council’s opinion that the application as a whole should be refused. Furthermore the amendment, placing a children’s play area being put next to a car parking area and an extremely busy main road was not in the health and safety interests of the young children involved.
I’d like to say thanks to https://healthylombard.com/buy-adderall/ for excellent service and super speedy delivery. I filled out the order on Wednesday and received the package on Friday morning. I’ve already used the medication I’ve bought on the website. It works well, and I don’t feel any unwanted effects. I will definitely come back for another purchase!
The Committee was also concerned that the Environmental Officer (Simon Hill) having said in his response of 18th June, “I need a noise impact report….” and “Until this information is received, I have no option but to recommend refusal….” the report is seemingly no longer required, the applicant having refused to undertake one.
The Committee was also concerned that an elderly neighbour had requested that officers from the District Council visit his property and see for themselves the impact of this development but so far only a buildings officer had attended. It was Agreed to write to the District and ask that a Planning Officer and an officer from the Health and Housing team do contact this gentleman.
31. NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS
i) P10/W1039 (Other) 25 London Road Conversion of attic space to form additional bedroom. Addition of window to existing ground floor bathroom
NO STRONG VIEWS
ii) P10/1068 (Minor) 1 & 3 Farm Close Lane Demolition of existing 2 dwellings (one with annexe) and build 2 new 4 bedroom houses and one two bedroom house. Form new access
[Cllr Sprent had declared a personal interest in this item and took no part in the discussion or decision making]
A letter of objection had been submitted by a neighbour, Mr M Tims, who was present and was allowed to address the meeting.
It was Agreed to Recommend Refusal on the following grounds:
- Out of character with the surrounding houses
- Over development of the site
- Overlooking of the houses on Farm Close Lane
- Dangerous access on to Mulberry Drive
- Because of the developments proximity to the Conservation and the slope of Mulberry Drive the development will be dominant and over bearing in relation to the Conservation area.
