The Planning Development Manager presented the report detailing a change of use of site from a health clinic/office to 20 supported living apartments involving conversion of the existing main building (No. 18 Denmark Road) and the provision of a new three-storey detached building to the rear, including associated landscaping, access and parking, following demolition of an existing single storey outbuilding.

An agent of the Specialised Support Housing addressed the Committee in favour of the application on behalf of the applicant.

 

The Planning Development Manager responded to members questions as follows:

 

-       The site was not a HMO and did not fall under this use class. Rather, it was a supported living facility which was controlled by nature of use.

-       The plan followed established design principles which were considered appropriate for the site.

-       The number of parking spaces were suitable for the site.

 

 

Members’ Debate

 

-       A Member stated that on balance he was in favour of the application as there was a need for this type of accommodation in the City.

-       Several Members agreed that the design was largely to be welcomed.

 

 

The Chair moved and the Vice-Chair seconded the Officer’s recommendations.

Minutes:

An agent spoke against the Officer recommendation to refuse planning permission.

 

The Senior Planning Officer presented the report detailing an application for thedemolition of existing day centre and erection of a 3 storey building containing 12 number 1-bedroom flats for adults with physical or learning disabilities.

 

The Planning Development Manager responded to members’ questions as follows:

 

-       Whilst there was a need for specialist accommodation for people with learning and disability needs, the proposed plan in the application did not meet that need.

-       Moreover, the application was contrary to the relevant policy in planning law and was not supported by the Adult Social Care Commission.

-       The Council had been considering the application since 2017, yet it still required significant changes which would likely take longer than a month.

 

Members’ Debate:

 

-       Some Members believed that there was a need for this type of accommodation, and suggested that the application could be deferred.

 

 

Councillor Hyman proposed and Councillor Walford seconded a deferral of the application.

 

RESOLVED that: - the application is not deferred.

 

The Chair then proposed, and the Vice-Chair seconded a motion to refuse the application.

 

RESOLVED that: - the application is refused.
