To consider the accompanying Schedule of Planning Applications and proposals, marked Appendix “A”. Decision:
Minutes: 72.1 The Technical Planning Manager submitted a Schedule comprising planning applications and proposals with recommendations thereon. Copies of this had been circulated to Members as Appendix A to the Agenda for the meeting. The objections to, support for, and observations upon the various applications, together with a plan in respect of application 18/01180/FUL, as referred to in Appendix 1 attached to these Minutes were presented to the Committee and duly taken into consideration by Members prior to decisions being made on those applications. 18/00940/FUL – 3 Saffron Road, Tewkesbury 72.2 This application was for erection of a two-storey side and rear extension (revised application ref: 13/00211/FUL). The application was deferred at the Planning Committee meeting on 19 February 2019 for a Committee Site Visit to assess the Town Council’s concerns. The Committee had visited the application site on Monday 18 March 2019. 72.3 The Chair invited the representative from Tewkesbury Town Council to address the Committee. The Town Council representative explained that the Town Council had consistently objected to this application on the grounds that it created a ‘right to light’ issue for the Tudor Room which was situated to the rear of 3 Saffron Road. The Town Council held the title to the property which accommodated a bar and meeting room for users of the George Watson Memorial Hall, of which it was sole trustee. She advised that the Town Council had made improvements to the venue, including refurbishment to the bar, stage provision and staff resources for promoting and marketing the hall. A marked increase in bookings meant that the Tudor Room had become a popular venue and the room was used for both daytime and evening events including parties, weddings and corporate meetings and by schools and community groups. The Hall’s recent increase in bookings was recognised in the exceedance of the set income target; this was an important resource for revenue income for the Town Council, benefitting the local economy and the community. The Hall had regular weekly uses, such as pole dancing classes and an NHS care session, and evening events including Northern Soul dance, Tewkesbury Town Band and larger music nights with confirmed bookings up to 2020. Page No. 651, Paragraph 5.13 of the Officer report described usage of the Tudor Room as ‘sporadic’ but this was far from the case with 59 bookings over a period of 92 days between March and May and potentially more to come. The report also described the effect of the proposed extension being ‘as it would have been in the event that the previous 2013 proposal were implemented’.; however, she indicated that the drawings for the 2013 proposal clearly showed that the proposed extension was only one storey high along the wall closest to and parallel with the Tudor Room, whereas the current proposal was for a much higher wall with gables above which would cast a much larger shadow on the building which lay just one metre to the north. She went on to explain that ... view the full minutes text for item 72a |
