Agenda item

BH2020/00995 - 90 Southall Avenue, Brighton - Full Planning

Minutes:

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 site plans, elevational drawings and photographs which showed the proposed scheme in the context of neighbouring development. The main considerations in the determination of this application relate to the principle of the proposed change of use; the standard of accommodation provided; the acceptability of the proposed rear extension in design terms; the impact of the proposed change of use on the amenity of the neighbourhood; and the transport implications of the proposals.

 

Speakers

 

2.    Ward Councillor Yates informed that committee that within the radius of 98 Southall Avenue the report did not note other properties in multiple occupancy as they were operated under head lease operation. These are not in the report. If 98 Southall Avenue has C4 and not? C3 use this would affect the 10% of properties in the area as homes of multiple occupancy (HMO). The committee are requested to defer the application to seek clarification.
