Housing Policy 18
Requires that loss of existing habitable housing not be approved unless accompanied by firm replacement proposals. The officer noted conflict but justified exception due to benefits from improved access serving multiple dwellings, outweighing loss of one unit.
Housing Policy 4
Requires new/existing highways to safely accommodate vehicles and pedestrians. Satisfied by widening to 6m with footway, supported by Highways subject to visibility condition.
General Policy 2
Permits development respecting site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale, not adversely affecting character, amenities or locality. Proposal complies as minor changes to street scene yield significant functional improvements to estate.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
Boundary treatment for visibility
The side boundary treatment on the property frontage of No.12 Snugborough Avenue shall be no more than 1 metre in height for a distance of 2.4 metres set back from the kerb line/edge of carriageway of Snugborough Avenue and retained as such thereafter. Reason: In the interests of highway safety.
No objections raised
No objection subject to conditions. The widening of the road from 3-6m and provision of a new footway is welcomed.
