# Officer Planning Report

Planning Report and Recommendations General Report Site Visited YES/NO (a) outlook/environment for the flats; (b) impact on street-scene; (c) impact on adjoining property; (d) access; and (e) parking provision. The use for residential purposes, although not in accordance with the Local Plan covering, would accord with Dept. policy. 5. Outlook/environment Each flat would have a front outlook, which is at present, reasonably open and light. The environment at the rear is poorish. 6. Street-scene The "street-scape" sketch shows a reasonably sympathetic shows a reasonably sympathetic elevational treatment, but the Manward roof may appear awkward. 7. Adjoining property The permanent impact would not be unreasonable, but construction may be disruptive. 8. Access This would be from the rear lane. Acceptable. 9. See page 3. Signed Date 2.6.03 ## Application No: 03/86 Page 3 of ### Planning Report and Recommendations #### General Report **Site Visited** **YES/NO** ##### 9. Parking provision Would the proposed 1:1 ratio have been accepted for small flats within the town centre, the indicative layout is optimistic (see DOT's comments). ##### Conclusions 1. On balance, I judge that: - (a) the indicative parking layout demonstrates that it would not be possible to provide satisfactory 1:1 parking on site; and, perhaps that - (b) the additional storey, either with a Munsard roof or a conventional roof, would have an adverse effect on the street scene. **Signed** **BHA** **Date** 12.6.83 **Summary of objections/views** #### Recommendations **Approve/Refuse** Refuse, as in 10(a) and perhaps 10(b), above **Signed** **BHA** **Date** 12.6.83 ## Application No. 02/1365 Page of Refused 19.6.03 (1) The indicative parking layout demonstrates that it would not be possible to provide satisfactory, fully-usable on-site spaces at even the minimal ratio of the one space for each apartment. (2) The indicative sketch illustrates that, because of the number of apartments proposed, the number and array of windows and the form of the roof would be out of keeping with the architecture of the adjacent buildings. Planning Report and Recommendations General Report Site Visited YES/NO 1. The site comprises the cleared space between No.'s 10 and 13 Peel Road. Frontage on to Peel Road, and also to a rear lane. 2. Recent application 02/1365 is material - refusal (in principle) for 16 flats, on grounds relating to access and to flats without a front outlook. 3. New proposed, also in principle, is the creation of a building accommodating 15 flats - 5 storeys over a car park. Indicative plans are included - car park layout, standard floor layout, and a "street-scope" sketch. 4. The issues are, I suggest:- Signed Date [see page 27] Summary of objections/views LA - over-intensive use HA - parking must be satisfactory DAO - standard requirements L. Chatel (owner of No.13) - concern re level of the parking space. Recommendations Approve/Refuse Signed Date [Table omitted in markdown export]
