RESOLVED: That (a) the applications now submitted for permission to develop land under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Regulations made thereunder and for consent under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1989, be decided, granted or refused as stated in the report to this Committee for this date in respect of Case Nos.  12/01647/FUL, 12/01332/FUL and 12/00456/FUL and other applications considered be amended as in the minutes of this meeting, and the requisite notices issued; the granting of any permission or consent shall not constitute approval, permission or consent by this Committee or the Council for any other purpose;

(b) in connection with the decision to refuse an application for planning permission for the change of use to a house in multiple occupation within the curtilage of 21 Fieldhead Road (Case No. 12/01210/CHU), (i) authority be given to the Director of Development Services or Head of Planning to take all necessary steps including, if necessary, enforcement action and the institution of legal proceedings to secure the return of 21 Fieldhead Road to its previous use as a C3 dwellinghouse and (ii) officers be requested to enter into discussions with the applicant, with a view to agreeing an appropriate period for compliance with the enforcement action, which would ensure that any occupiers affected by the Notice would be able to find alternative accommodation;

(c) an application for planning permission for the erection of a dwellinghouse and double garage on the garage site at the rear of 47 to 55 Trap Lane (Case No.12/01174/FUL) be granted, conditionally, with a request that officers investigate the serving of a Tree Preservation Order on the trees situated to the rear of properties off Muskoka Drive, which adjoin the proposed development site; and

(d) an application for planning permission for the erection of 3 dwellinghouses within the curtilage of 31 Brickhouse Lane (Case No.12/00289/FUL) be refused as the Committee considered that (i) the development would be out of character and an overdevelopment of the site, when taking into account the cumulative impact of an earlier outline consent for four dwellings (Case No. 11/02416/OUT) and (ii) there would be insufficient on site car parking provided, which would lead to parking on the adjoining streets.

(NOTE:  An application under Section 192 for a certificate of lawful use development in connection with the erection of a building for use as garages, workshop, indoor golf practice centre and gym, all incidental to the use of a dwelling at Newfield Farm, 20 Newfield Lane (Case No.12/00610/LD2) was withdrawn from consideration.)
