The Planning Services Manager, Mrs Evans, presented this report for approval of reserved matters relating to the access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of outline planning permission HS/OA/15/00211 (Conditions 1 & 2) – Proposed demolition of chalet bungalow and garage and construction of 10 No. new dwellings.
Members were informed of an update to the report:-
· Since the agenda was published the applicant has submitted a schedule of materials alongside samples to be used in the development. Recommended condition 2 has therefore been changed to read as:-
The external materials of the development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved ‘Material Schedule’ submitted on 03 April 2017.
Reason 2: Remains unchanged from that noted in the officer’s report.
Members were shown plans and photographs of the application site.
The site is currently occupied by a detached bungalow, the majority of development surrounding the site is two-storey terrace or semi-detached properties. Outline consent has been granted for 10 dwellings. It is proposed that the 10 dwellings will be separated into 8 x semi-detached (plots 1-8) and 2 x detached (plots 9 and 10) houses. Each property will have two off-street parking spaces and storage for wheeled bins. The old householder vehicular access onto Burry Road is to be widened.
The Planning Services Manager reminded members that this is a reserved matters application which follows an outline application for 10 dwellings which was granted in October 2015 at Planning Committee. All other plans submitted with the outline consent are indicative and showed members at the time what potentially the site could be, but not definitively what it would be. She said that Officers had considered this application to be acceptable, however there were some elements of the proposal which were borderline.
The Planning Manager explained that although the application was recommended for approval there were elements of the application which were more borderline that should consider. She advised that no objections had been received from any of the statutory consultees.
· Bulk and massing of plot 1 – perceived overlooking is a material consideration.
· The buildings will appear as three storey building although they only have two levels.
· The gardens’ terraces and balconies and side elevation windows of plot 1 and overlooking arising from same. The decking area was not shown in the outline consent.
· Side elevation of building of plot 8 – The design, detail and soft landscaping.
· Concerns regarding the degree of soft landscaping. She stated that there could be substantial improvements to the landscaping scheme.

The Planning Services Manager, Mrs Evans, presented this report for erection of one building containing two units for trade uses (Class B Class B8 with ancillary showroom and/or auto centre (B2) and/or Sui Generis Uses) with associated landscaping and infrastructure.
Members were informed of several updates to the report:-
· Landscaping Plan V13759-L02 has been removed from condition 2.
Reason for condition 2:- Remains unchanged.
This is as a result of a request by the Council’s Tree Officer for a change to the proposed tree species and the planting of an additional tree on the junction of the site with Bexhill Road.
This will be secured under conditions 15 and 16 which cover soft landscaping.
Members were shown plans and photographs of the application site.
The Planning Services Manager advised that in March 2016 the Planning Committee refused an application for the redevelopment of the site to comprise a building of 4 units for B8, A1 and sui generis. The reasons for refusal were for massing of the building combined with the layout and its consequential impact on character of the area. Members were reminded that planning permission was granted next door to the site at 323 Bexhill Road for a new car show room in December 2016.
The Planning Services Manager highlighted the details of the application, she said the access to the site will be widened from 5.88m to 12.6m. The footprint of the proposed building has been reduced from 1,300msq to 6.97msq and will be moved back from the boundary by 19.5m. 12 additional trips are likely to be generated during the am peak and 7pm.
