To consider application UTT/19/2820/FUL

The Planning Officer presented a proposal for the erection of 14 dwellings, comprising of seven one-bed flats, three two-bed flats, two three-bed houses and two four-bed houses including associated external works, with all dwellings to be provided as affordable housing.

The application was recommended for approval with conditions.

The members asked for confirmation from the officers in relation to the affordable housing status of the development. It was confirmed by the Housing Strategy and Operations Manager that all the properties would be affordable rent properties only in line with the Local Housing Allowance rents to allow for occupants to claim full housing benefit entitlements.

In response to a member question, the Housing Strategy Manager advised that the Housing Team had made the best use of land within the constraints of the site. Also, the best amenity and parking standards had been achieved.

Councillor Freeman proposed the motion for approval.

Councillor Gerard seconded the proposal.

RESOLVED to approve the application.

Cllr P Lees and J Snares spoke on the application.
