Mr Roger Greenaway

Decision:

Application GRANTED conditionally.

Mrs Connick & Mr Cox

Decision:

Application GRANTED conditionally.

Mr S Larson

Decision:

Application REFUSED because in the opinion of the majority of Members of the Planning Committee it is considered that the  development will provide an inadequate level of parking for the combined new and existing parking demand and the new parking layout will create a safety and amenity problem for the existing residents and commercial users. The proposal is therefore considered to cause:-

(a) Damage to amenity;

(b) Prejudice.to public safety and convenience;

(c) Interference with the free flow of traffic on the highway

Which is contrary to Policy CS28 and CS34 of the adopted City of Plymouth Local Development Framework Core Strategy adopted April2007 and DEV31 (2,3) of the emerging Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan (2014-2034).

(Councillor R. Smith’s proposal to defer the application based on a reconfiguration of parking on the site, as seconded by Councillor Churchill, was put to the vote and declared lost.)

(A Planning Committee site visit was held on 12 September 2018 in respect of this application).

(The Committee heard a representation against this application).

(The Committee heard from the applicant’s agent).
