Purpose:
Content: The Planning Officer reported that the CGI image had been updated so that it now reflected the proposed elevations. In section 4.1.2 of the report the Highways Officer had noted that one of the swept path analysis drawings within the Transport Statement appeared to indicate a collision with a parked vehicle. The applicant had provided an amended drawing which demonstrated that this would not be the case and the Highways Officer had confirmed that the plans would be acceptable. In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 35(b) a member of the public spoke in support of the application. The Planning Officer had nothing to add. Councillor Stephen King welcomed the report and was happy to see at Condition C21 that the integral garage would be retained. The Parish Council having seen the revised plans had no objection. The Councillor moved that Planning Permission be Granted in accordance with the officer recommendation. Councillor David Raw asked about the comments from the Oxhey Hall Residents Association concerning the restriction on lorry movements and asked if the Committee should be considering this. Also on energy provision what were they referring to? The Planning Officer advised that regarding the comments from the residents association on the lorry movements, the Highways Officer had commented on the application and put forward a number of conditions including requiring a Construction Management Plan which would need to be submitted prior to the commencement of development and would ensure this is covered and is acceptable to the Highways Authority. With regard to the energy statement the applicant had previously submitted an energy statement at the time of the last application to meet the requirements of our policy. Given the design had changed officers felt they should submit a new updated energy statement prior to the commencement of development to ensure it would be in accordance with our standard. The applicant had confirmed that they are in agreement to that pre-commencement condition so that we can ensure that sustainable and energy efficient measures are taken into account. Councillor Raj Khiroya seconded the motion put forward by Councillor Stephen King. On being put to the Committee the motion was declared CARRIED by the Chair the voting being unanimous. RESOLVED: That PLANNING PERMISSION BE GRANTED in accordance with the conditions and informatives set out in the officer report and following the completion of a Section 106 Agreement.
