The Planning Services Manager, Mrs Evans, presented the application for change of use of existing lower ground floor from B1 (Business) to one bedroom flat (C3) and erection of single storey rear extension.
The application seeks permission for the change of use of the existing lower ground floor of No.379 London Road from B1 (office) to residential accommodation C3 use as a one bedroom flat. It is also proposed to erect a small, single storey, infill extension at the rear of the premises. The Planning Services Manager said the application would cause no harm to the character of the area.
Councillors were shown plans, photographs and elevations of the application site.
The Committee asked questions of the Planning Services Manager.
A concern was raised regarding the deterioration of the unmade access road to the rear of property caused by works vehicles. The Planning Services Manager understood the concern but noted that it is difficult to quantify the harm caused by specific vehicles.
In response to a question the Planning Services Manager confirmed that the applicant’s submission stated that the premises is not an active shop and has been unoccupied since the beginning of the year.
