0261/2022 Appeal Update Report
Additional documents:
Minutes:
The Development Manager presented a report is to provide an update to members of the appeal against refusal of planning permission reference 0261/2022.
The application related to the conversion of the former police station on Spinning School Lane into 54 apartments. Various extensions and alterations were also proposed to the building along with associated landscaping and car parking areas.
The application was reported to planning committee on December 5th, 2023, with an officer recommendation to approve, subject to conditions. Members refused the application against this recommendation on the following grounds: • Shortfall in parking spaces • Shortfall in internal space standards of some of the apartments • Shortfall of open space and outside areas • Compliance of housing mix not meeting standard
Both the appeal and cost award were allowed and therefore the application was approved and the council ordered to pay for the appellant’s costs.
The Officer advised members of the issues this has for resources and what can be done in the future to avoid this. |
