This application is brought to Committee by Cllr Janet Wood, the Ward Councillor.
The Site and Proposal
Members may recall that outline permission was granted for the erection of a detached dwelling
on land adjoining The Fox and Hounds Public House in Coaley at the Development Control
Committee on 14th January 2003 following a visit by the Sites Inspection Panel. A reserved
matters application was subsequently approved under delegated powers and the dwelling has
been completed.
Both the outline and reserved matters applications did not included any vehicular access onto the
road. This was a requirement of the Highway Authority, which advised that visibility onto The
Street was inadequate. The approved house is therefore accessed from the pub access and has
two designated car parking spaces within the pub car park.
As part of their construction works, the applicant formed a new vehicular access onto The Street.
It was initially claimed that the access was only temporary to facilitate the delivery of construction
materials without causing obstruction in the pub car park. An application seeking to retain the
access and to construct a single garage in place of the previously approved dining room was
refused by Committee on 10th February 2004 on the grounds that visibility was inadequate and
