Issue - meetings

Change of use of former residential parenting unit (C2 Residential Institution) to 8 bed House in Multiple Occupation (C4 Sui Generis). This site is in CIL Zone 4 (Zero Rated) as other development.

          The Planning Officer presented his report advising members that the Officer recommendation was for approval on this application.

          Members then took part in a full debate on the application where a number of concerns were raised including toilet provision, adequate areas of open space, the number of Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO’s) in the area and parking spaces.

          The Planning Officer and the Director of Place both provided members with answers to the issues raised.

          In further consideration of the matter, it was highlighted that people who would be referred to the use this dwelling would be fore a very specific reason and not because it was a HMO.

          The Committee

                     RESOLVED

That the application be APPROVED as detailed in the report and subject to the conditions outlined.
