To consider application UTT/20/0921/DFO.

Minutes:

The Development Management Team Leader presented an application for reserved matters permission for “details following outline application UTT/17/3413/OP - Erection of 4 commercial buildings for use as B1, B2 and/or D2 in the alternative together with access road, car parking, bins and bike stores and associated works. The application detailed appearance, landscaping, layout and scale.”

 

The application had been deferred by Planning Committee in December 2020 to resolve parking layout. Following the deferment of the application, the applicant has submitted a revised parking scheme illustrating the parking spaces to be at Essex Parking Standards size. This has resulted in the slight reduction in parking space provision from 34 spaces to 29 spaces.

 

The application was recommended for approval with conditions.

 

Members debated the amended car parking provisions; notably, if the reduced allocation of parking would be adequate for the commercial units and the impact that this would have on parking in the nearby area.

 

Councillor Lemon proposed that the application be approved. This was seconded by Councillor Loughlin.

 

RESOLVED to approve the application

 

Speakers: P Belton (agent) spoke in support of the application.
