9.1 Since the original report was created an additional 2 letters of objection have
been received to bring the total to 30. The reasons for objection in the additional
letters are :-
• The noise and nightime custom
• It is going to affect the quality of life and fear for objectors children
• As the household has 6 vehicles parking is a problem
• The use will increase the number of vehicles in an already congested
residential street.
• It is opposite a residential care home which is very busy at peak times.
• More bed-sit accommodation is not in keeping.
9.2 It is noted that the existing hard standing to the front of the dwelling is in a state
of disrepair and that t all original means of enclose to the front boundary have been
removed. Discussions have been undertaken with the applicant regarding the
potential for the part re-instatement of brick boundary walling to the front to both
enhance the character of the conservation area and protect the tree to the front of
the property which is covered by a Tree Protection Order. The applicant has
indicated verbally that he would have no objection to such a requirement, written
confirmation is required. The Council’s Conservation and Arboricultural Officer’s
have raised no objection to this.
9.3 It is acknowledged that the applicant, if granted planning permission for the
proposed use, would be able to erect an advertisement upon the premises under the
Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007. As the
premises is located within a designated conservation area it is considered necessary
in this instance to restrict the erection of advertisements upon the premises without
the prior advertisement consent of the Local Planning Authority. This matter can not
be controlled through the imposition of a planning condition and instead this matter
can only be dealt through a unilateral undertaking. Discussions are continuing about
this.
9.3 As indicated in the original report , on balance it is considered that the proposed
development, subject to appropriate conditions, is unlikely to have a significant
detrimental effect upon the character of the street scene, the amenity of the
residents of the surrounding residential properties and highway safety. It is therefore
for the reasons discussed and subject to the following planning conditions and a
legal agreement precluding the provision of advertisements upon the premises
