BH2019/03819 - Land Adjoining 9 Ridgeway Gardens Brighton BN2 6PL - Full Planning

RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

Ward Affected : Woodingdean

Minutes:

            Erection of 1no three storey dwelling house.

 

(1)        It was noted that an in depth presentation had been provided by officers in advance of the meeting and was included on the council website detailing the scheme by reference to plans, floor plans, elevational drawings and photographs which also showed the proposed scheme in the context of neighbouring development.

 

(2)        This application related to an area of land to the north eastern end of Ridgeway Gardens, the site comprised private hardstanding for two vehicles and vegetation to the rear. Immediately adjacent to the site was a turning head for vehicles and beyond was a terrace group of properties with three additional terraced properties located at the far end of Ridgway Gardens. Permission was sought to erect a three- storey property on the existing hardstanding within Ridgeway Gardens. The new dwelling would provide undercroft parking at ground floor with living accommodation to the storeys above.

 

(2)        The main considerations in determining the application related to the principle of the development, the character and appearance of the dwelling and its impact on the wider street scene, the standard of accommodation provided, impact on neighbouring amenity, highways and sustainability issues. The proposal was considered to be acceptable and approval was therefore recommended.

 

            Questions of Officers

 

(3)        Councillor Theobald sought clarify the number of individuals who could be accommodated. It was confirmed that up to 6 individuals could be accommodated as there were three double bedrooms one on each floor.

 

            Debate and Decision Making Process

 

(4)        Councillor Theobald stated that she considered the design to be unsympathetic to the neighbouring street scene and would not be voting in support of it.

 

(5)        Councillor Littman considered that the design of the building was appropriate and that the scheme was acceptable.

 

(6)        Councillor Fishleigh concurred with that view.

 

(8)        Councillor Yates stated that he liked the design and that the proposal made good use of this small constrained site.

 

(9)        A vote was taken and the 9 Members present voted 8 to 1 that planning permission be granted.

 

119.4    RESOLVED – That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in the report and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives also set out in the report.

 

            Note: Councillor Childs was not present during consideration and determination of this application.
