(A)     COMMITTEE DECISION REQUIRED FOLLOWING A SITE VISIT AND/OR

        PUBLIC SPEAKING:

 

 

Decision

Plan Number:

PL/18/2726/FA

R

Applicant:

Mr Mav Sandhu

Proposal:

Erection of six flats incorporating vehicular access and hardstanding at The Other House, Beeches Drive, Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire, SL2 3JT.

Notes:

  • A site visit was undertaken by Members.
  • Speaking on behalf of the objectors, Mr David Spruzen and Mr Alan McMahon. The District Councillor Dev Dhillon also spoke against the application.
  • Officers advised the Committee that an appeal had been lodged against the Council’s failure to determine the application within the statutory time period, and as such the application would be determined by the Planning Inspectorate. Therefore the Committee were asked to indicate what the decision of the Council would have been in the absence of an appeal being lodged.
  • In response to queries from Members officers advised that the tree officer was satisfied that there would be no detrimental impact on trees at the site. However, it was confirmed that the tree officer would be asked to look again at concerns raised by the objectors.

 

Councillor J Jordan proposed that the Committee be minded refuse the application for the reasons outlined in the report, and in addition for reasons that it would not be consistent with the overall character of the area, that the plot would not be large enough to accommodate sufficient levels of private amenity space for 6 dwellings, and the lack of a separate access to the basement car park which would cause conflict between pedestrians and vehicles and would also act as a disincentive to use the parking provision. This proposal was seconded by Councillor P Hogan and agreed unanimously at a vote.

 

RESOLVED that the Committee be minded refuse the application for the reasons outlined in the report, and in addition for reasons that it would not be consistent with the overall character of the area, that the plot would not be large enough to accommodate sufficient levels of private amenity space for 6 dwellings, and the lack of a separate access to the basement car park which would cause conflict between pedestrians and vehicles and would also act as a disincentive to use the parking provision.
