Erection of three storey sheltered accommodation.

Erection of three storey sheltered accommodation.

 

The Southern Team Leader reported the receipt of comments from the Environment Agency and Welsh Water who had no objections to the application subject to conditions. The Traffic Manager’s response had also been received with no objections raised.

 

Councillor C.J. Davis, one of the Local Ward Members, noted the concerns raised by the Parish Council and felt that she could not support the application due to car parking concerns.

 

In response to a question, the Southern Team Leader advised Members that although this application increased the number of flats from 42 to 43, the exterior dimensions of the building would remain the same. He also advised Members that the 14 car parking spaces provided met the current car parking standards.

 

A number of Members felt that the car parking was sufficient and that the applicants had a reputation for providing quality homes that were well managed and organised. They also felt that the increase from 42 to 43 flats was only a minor change to the original application and that the application should be approved.
