Demolition of existing building and erection of a three storey building over basement comprising of showroom on lower ground and ground floor and 1no. 2 bedroom dwelling on upper floors. (Planning application number: P2015/3012/FUL).

 

In the discussion the following points were made:

·        The deep window reveals had been designed to better the current overlooking position and to set back the view of occupiers away from neighbouring properties.

Minutes:

Installation of one air conditioning unit at roof level and acoustic screen. (Planning application P2015/5323/FUL).

 

In the discussion the following points were made:-

·         The acoustic survey was taken in August before the application was expected to be submitted.

·         The acoustic survey was carried out in the area of the unit, on the specific equipment to be used and was based on the cumulative impact of the plant.

·         The proposed noise condition stipulated that the rating level should be at 5dB below background noise level.

·         The unit to be installed would provide air conditioning and heating to the building.

·         Two existing items of plant remained on the roof area which were older and smaller but not expected to be greatly used.

·         The operation of the unit would not be for 24 hours and would be switched off at closing time. This would generally be 5pm but the original planning consent allowed a number of private hire events which allowed operation to continue up until 1am on a number of evenings.

·         The acoustic report had been assessed by the Council’s Acoustic Officer and the Sub-Committee would need to base their decision on this rather than on anecdotal evidence.

 

Councillor Tim Nicholls proposed a motion regarding hours of operation which was seconded by Councillor Klute and carried.

 

RESOLVED

That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions and informatives detailed in the report and an additional condition replicating the hours of operation for the unit granted in the previous planning consent..

Provision of a permanent standby generator to service 222 Upper Street and installation of an associated flue, along with the relocation of cycle stands. (Planning application P2015/4616/FUL)

 

In the discussion the following points were made:-

·         The generator would only operate in the case of a power network failure so was unlikely to be used very often and a strong noise condition provided noise mitigation.

 

RESOLVED

That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions and informative detailed in the report.
