Agenda item

We considered the report of the application and late correspondence which was recommended for approval subject to the seven conditions as outlined in the report and subject to a Section 106 Legal Agreement.

The local Member for Llanfoist Fawr, also a Planning Committee Member stated that he supported the scheme in principle. However, he requested that the application be deferred to allow officers to negotiate with the applicant with a view to making some small revisions to the application.

In response, officers informed the Committee that a submission of the cross sections could be added to show the relationship of the proposed two new dwellings to adjacent existing dwellings. Also, relocation of the new plot and its garage could be investigated in the eastern corner of the site. However, if this is not feasible, the dwelling could be attached to the garage. The proposed amendments could be agreed via the Planning Delegation Panel with the local Member for Llanfoist Fawr being invited. The following conditions could also be added, namely, remove permitted development rights for dormer / alterations to roofs of the dwellings and remove permitted development rights to change boundary treatments.

In response to a question raised by a Planning Committee Member regarding tandem garages, it was noted that the site allows for vehicle turning provision within it. Therefore, there would be no harm to highway safety within the site with regard to the shared garage. A condition could be added with regard to external finishes.

It was proposed by County Councillor G. Howard and seconded by County Councillor A. Webb that application DM/2019/00003 be approved subject to the seven conditions as outlined in the report and subject to a Section 106 Legal Agreement. Also that a submission of the cross sections would be added to show the relationship of the proposed two new dwellings to adjacent existing dwellings. The relocation of the new plot and its garage would be investigated in the eastern corner of the site. However, if this is not feasible, the dwelling would be attached to the garage. The proposed amendments would be agreed via the Planning Delegation Panel with the local Member for Llanfoist Fawr being invited to attend. The following conditions would also be added, namely, to include external finishes, remove permitted development rights for dormer / alterations to roofs of the dwellings and remove permitted development rights to change boundary treatments.
