“The papers state, quite correctly, that I have made no comment on this application. This is because the application property borders mine. Although I am advised I could comment if I wished I feel it is more appropriate if I do not.”

(4)

ITEM 4(b)


Description Diversion of a right of way and erection of a three bedroom detached house together with associated works AT Land to North of 15, Gleneagles Close, Bletchley FOR Taylor Wimpey South Midlands Ltd Target: 1st December 2016 Extension of Time: No Ward: Bletchley Park

Parish: West Bletchley Council

Report Author/Case Officer: Lakeisha Peacock Planning Officer Contact Details: 01908 254374 [email protected] Team Manager: Nicola Thompson, [email protected] 1.0 UPDATE PAPER 1.1 An additional public representation has been received from a neighbouring

property. This has been published on the Councils website. Below is a summary of the points raised:

Visual intrusion to No. 16 Gleneagles Close

Loss of privacy

1.2 A discussion of these issues including consideration of the impact of the development on surrounding residential properties is covered in Sections 5.23 and 5.24 of the report.

1.3 An additional representation was received from the Highways Engineer

recommending the following condition be applied to the proposal:

No part of the development shall begin until details of the proposed footpath have been submitted and approved in writing by the local planning authority and no part of the development shall begin until the footpath has been sited and constructed in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: to provide an adequate footpath network.

1.4 It is considered appropriate to apply this condition to the proposal 1.5 A condition was omitted from the conditions list on the Development Control Panel

Report. It is recommended that the following condition is applied to the proposal:

(5)

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any order revoking, re-enacting or modifying that Order), the proposed first floor windows on the south eastern (side) elevation, serving the dressing room of bedroom 1 and the bathroom shall be obscurely glazed to a minimum level 3 within the Pilkington range of Textured Glass or equivalent and be non-opening below 1.7 metres from finished floor level. The windows shall thereafter be maintained in this condition at all times and shall not be altered to clear glazing or opening without the specific grant of planning permission from the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: To preserve the amenity and privacy of the adjoining residential occupiers in accordance with Saved Policy D1 (iii) of the Milton Keynes Local Plan 2001-2011.

(6)

ITEM 4(e)


Description Proposed three new dormer windows to front elevation AT 93 Sakura Walk, Willen Park, Milton Keynes, MK15 9EJ FOR Mr Saeed Abdulla Al Kaabi Target: 17th December 2018 Extension of Time: Yes Ward: Broughton

Parish: Great Linford Parish Council

Report Author/Case Officer: Luke Gledhill Planning Officer Contact Details: 01908 252271 [email protected] Team Manager: Paul Keen, 01908 253239, [email protected] 1.0 UPDATE PAPER 2.0 Ward Councillor Sam Crooks objected to the proposal on the 11 December 2018,

stating: “I’m afraid I cannot attend today’s site meeting. However, I did visit the location over the weekend and believe that two windows would be acceptable at the front and in keeping with other houses in the immediate vicinity. I believe that a third would be excessive having regard to elsewhere in the area and thus contrary to the Saved Policy D2. Please report these comments to the site meeting and the committee.”

3.0 For the avoidance of doubt, the works the applicant has carried out to erect a gate on the driveway of the site, thereby reducing the parking provision at the site to 1 space, are outside the scope of this planning application, i.e. it does not form part of the proposal. Therefore, this planning application, if approved, would not grant planning permission for the gate arrangement. However, it is an issue that shall be investigated separately by planning enforcement with a decision made regarding the expediency of enforcement action at a later date.

(7)

ITEM 4(f)


Description Two-storey rear extension and single-storey side extension AT 4 Pyke Hayes, Two Mile Ash, Milton Keynes, MK8 8PQ FOR Mr & Mrs Holland Target: 20th December 2018 Extension of Time: Yes Ward: Bradwell

Parish: Abbey Hill Parish Council

Report Author/Case Officer: Andrew Pommells Planning Officer Contact Details: Andrew Pommells, 0190825(3930), [email protected] Team Manager: Nicola Thompson, [email protected] 1.0 UPDATE PAPER 1.1 An additional consultee representation has been received from Milton Keynes

Council’s Highways Officer. This has been published on the Councils website. Below is a summary of the comments:

The site has two on plot parking spaces in accordance with the council’s adopted parking standards

No objections to planning permission being granted. 1.2 It should be noted that there is a typo within the Highways matters and parking section (paragraph 5.3). The parking standards table that states 2.5 spaces are provided. This should read ‘2 spaces provided’ excluding the ‘.5’

(8)

Team Manager: Nicola Thompson - 01908 257589, [email protected]

1.0 UPDATE PAPER

1.1 Representation from local resident and Fenny Stratford Resident’s

Association

Since writing the report I have received a further objection from a local resident and

from Fenny Stratford Residents Association. Both raise similar concerns to those

covered in the report regarding parking, anti-social behaviour, traffic and noise. All

those issues are covered in the written report.

I have stated in the report that the application was being reported to DCP at the

request of Councillor Morris, but I had forgotten that Cllr Morris had withdrawn that

request. However, the application would still have needed to be reported to DCP as

the number of objectors to the application would have required this to be reported to

DCP because under the Scheme of Delegation that was relevant at the time the

application was submitted (and when most of the objections were submitted).

1.2 Further representation from Fenny Stratford Resident’s Association

A further representation was received on 12th December raising the following issues:

1 Overdevelopment of the site, achieved through retrospective planning approval

which results in a scheme that is out of character with the area.

2) Road safety is already poor due to taxi traffic, the proposal will generate at least

85 more private cars and taxis, also large groups of pedestrians on Watling Street

often obstructs traffic.

3) Anti-social behaviour, related to drinking, drugs, fighting, etc. The licensed hours

until 6am on Monday morning results in harm to local residents. A resident whose

property fronts Watling Street near the venue has installed an electric fence to

protect his property and family. These incidents are associated with this venue.

Officer Response: The representations raised can be summarised as being related

to character and appearance, highways and anti-social behaviour/neighbouring

amenity. These issues are considered to have been addressed in the Officers

Report.

ITEM 4(h)

Application Number: 18/00592/FUL Description: Change of Use from C3 Dwellinghouses to C4 Houses in Multiple Occupation with 5 bedrooms and 5 occupants. Remove and reconfigure part of the fencing to allow two additional car park spaces. At: 4 Rothersthorpe, Giffard Park, Milton Keynes, MK14 5JL For: Rendals Limited Target date: 3rd May 2018 Ward: Newport Pagnell South Parish: Great Linford Report Author/Case Officer: David Buckley, Senior Planning Officer Contact Details: david.buckley @milton-keynes.gov.uk Team Manager: Nicola Thompson [email protected] 1.0 UPDATE PAPER 1.1 Revision To Report

5.6 The existing dwelling, as shown on the existing plans provides six bedroomed accommodation which is one space short of the car parking standards which was due to a garage conversion undertaken in 2007. While this did not obtain planning permission, due to the time period since it was completed, this would enjoy permitted development rights. As a result there is only one parking space on site at present, while there should be two. The current scheme will have three car parking spaces rather than the four normally required in a 5 bedroom HiMO, which is also a shortfall of 1 parking space. (NB: it was previously incorrectly referred to as a three bedroomed existing house in this section of the report and also in the Highways Officers response.

1.1 Revision To Report

5.7 Comments from the Council’s Highways Officers indicates in summary that the scheme is acceptable now, largely due to the existing site circumstances, i.e., there is only one parking space at present and also the fact that the scheme is for a 5 bedroom rather than 6 bedroom HiMO. Also the fact that the side boundary fence would be removed which improves accessibility. While a street lighting column existing at the end of Rothersthorpe the revised plans for the application show that this will be unaffected by the proposals

(NB: it was previously incorrectly referred to as having three existing parking spaces in this section of the report.)

1.2 Correction To Report

5.14 Concentration of Flats Or Houses In Multiple Occupation Within The Area: The Houses in Multiple Occupation SPD requires the concentration of Houses in Multiple Occupation and one bedroom flats in an area do not exceed 35%. The proposal for five lettable rooms would lead to a concentration of 16% which is below the required threshold. It is considered that the proposed House in Multiple Occupation would not therefore lead to an over-concentration of Houses in Multiple Occupation to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area. (NB: it was previously incorrectly referred to as having four proposed lettable rooms in this section of the report.)

1.3 Revision to Condition 3 (Car Parking Area)

3. Notwithstanding the approved plans, prior to the occupation of the development permitted the applicant shall submit details including materials for the proposed parking spaces, access strips and dropped kerb/crossover, to the local planning authority for approval in writing. The works shall be undertaken in accordance with the approved details and retained in that form thereafter.

Reason: To ensure adequate parking provision at all times so that the

development does not prejudice the free flow of traffic or the safety on the neighbouring highway.

1.4 Revision to Condition 7 (Acoustic Design Review)

7. Prior to occupation of the development, the recommendations of the Acoustic Design Review shall be undertaken. Subsequent to this and prior to occupation of the development, testing shall be undertaken to demonstrate that the works outlined in the acoustic report have been undertaken and written evidence of this by an accredited shall be provided to the local authority for approval in writing. The works shall be retained in that form thereafter

Reason: To safeguard the amenities of the neighbouring properties and occupants of the property and to comply with saved policies H10 and D1 of the Milton Keynes Local Plan 2001-2011.

1.5 Representation from Great Linford Parish Council (GLPC)

An additional representation has been made stating that in other locations, application to convert dwellings to HiMo’s have been refused due to inadequate parking, which have subsequently been upheld on appeal. GLPC are not aware or previous applications where a Planning Officer has supported the argument that because there is one less parking space on site than is required for the current dwellinghouse on site, this principle can be applied to a proposed HiMO.

(12)

3

Also, Rothersthorpe is a small cul-de-sac and no additional parking spaces can be provided on the highways. A number of concerns related to the parking are then highlighted and a statement that this is contrary to policy H10 on HiMO’s. Officer response: These points are acknowledged, but the main policy issues have been addressed in the Officers report.

1.6 Tracking Plans

Tracking plans shown below, which show tracking for large, medium and smaller cars. The Council’s Highways Officer has confirmed that the consultation response was made subsequent to viewing these.
