Agenda item

To consider the planning application and recommendation of the Director of Planning and Regulatory Services (copy enclosed).

The Officer presented the report to the Committee, and attention was drawn to the Members’ Update.

The application was discussed and Members were pleased with the improvement of the area.  It was noted that parking in the vicinity was at a premium and that offered with the property was considered generous.

Members queried whether the study room could be considered a second bedroom, and raised concern over the lack of storage in the property.  The Group Manager for Planning Service advised that there was no minimum space for storage required and it would be difficult to refuse an application on this matter unless there was a clear shortfall.

The Committee raised concern over drainage at the site due to its current condition and were pleased that the application would be addressing this issue.

Upon a vote being taken the application be APPROVED in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.

RESOLVED that the application be APPROVED, subject to the following conditions:
