Agenda item

BH2021/01272 - 78 Hangleton Valley Drive, Hove - Full Planning

Minutes:

 

1.     The Planning Manager introduced the application to the committee.

 

Speakers

 

2.     Ward Councillor Lewry addressed the committee and stated that the bungalows in the area are built for downsizing, located as it is in a good neighbourhood which is well planned. Planning applications are chipping away the area and squeezing out retirees. A five- bed property in Hangleton will be too expensive and too big for the area. The development will be 41/2 inches from the neighbour. The low level 1960s design of the area will be affected where most residents look after their properties.

 

3.     The agent acting on behalf of the applicant, Sean Garrick, addressed the committee and stated that the quality of the support given by the local authority was fantastic and considered the service offered to be excellent with a great dialogue between the agent and the council. The agent stated they had listened and worked with the officers and made changes by reducing the roofscape etc. The site needed to work harder. There were no overlooking issues here. The applicants want to get on with neighbours and feel the proposals are good for all.

 

Vote

 

4.     A vote was taken, and the committee voted unanimously that planning permission be granted. (Councillor Barnett was not present for the vote and took no part in the decision making process).

 

5.     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 in the report.
