Erection of 3 dwellings.

Erection of 3 dwellings.

 

The Senior Planning Officer recommended an additional condition to remove Permitted Development Rights in relation to the rear boundary wall.

 

The Chairman, speaking in his capacity as Local Ward Member, noted the value of the site inspection that had been held and, with the additional condition, supported the application.

 

In response to questions, the Development Control Manager advised that the safeguarded route of the canal ran adjacent to, not through, the application site.  It was noted that it would be unreasonable to request a contribution towards canal restoration, as the land would not be directly involved.  However, if the occupiers of the proposed dwellings wished to benefit from the position of the land and have free access to the canal, the additional condition would ensure that the rear boundary wall could not be removed without prior approval by the authority.  He added that the development would not prejudice redevelopment of the canal and, therefore, it complied with the Unitary Development Plan (Revised Draft Deposit).
