Decision details

This report considers whether planning permission should be granted for removal of an existing care home and replacement with 3 residential dwellings.  The report recommends that planning permission be granted as it is considered that the loss of the care home would not have a detrimental impact upon the districts care provision as the facility no longer meets the required standards and the facility has been marketed in accordance with policy HB11 of the Places and Policies Local Plan.  The report considers that the 3 proposed dwellings would be acceptable in terms of the design and visual appearance, impact upon neighbouring and future occupant’s amenity, ecology, flood risk and highway safety.

Defer to seek amendments.  Delegated powers given to Strategic Development Manager to determine following the reconsultation on the amended plans. 

If no amended plans received or applicants decline to provide, the application to come back to Chief Planning Officer to determine and to agree and finalise the wording of the conditions and add any other conditions that she considers necessary.
