The Senior Planning Officer provided a verbal update on matters relating to Application 26/01373/S73 and advised that:

 

·       Planning permission was granted in 2024 for demolition of the former dwelling, outbuildings and yard buildings, and construction of six detached four-bedroom dwellings.

·       Development had commenced and the houses were now substantially progressed.

·       The application sought to vary the approved drawings under Section 73, with the principal change being the addition of carports to each of the six units.

·       The site lies on the eastern side of London Road, Langley, within the Green Belt, but comprises previously developed land.

·       The listed Forge building is located north of the entrance, with a public footpath along the western boundary.

·       The position of all six units remain unchanged from the approved scheme.

·       Plots 1 and 2 would have double-bay carports; plots 3-6 would have single-bay carports.

·       Carports are lightweight timber structures positioned within previously approved parking areas.

 

The Senior Planning Officer then presented the report in respect of Application 26/01373/S73 accompanied by a visual presentation consisting of plans and photographs.

 

The following Members asked questions:

 

·       Councillor Clare Billing

·       Councillor Louise Peace

·       Councillor Martin Prescott

 

In response to questions, the Senior Planning Officer advised that:

 

·       A condition had been imposed to prevent the carports from being enclosed, ensuring they remain open and retained for vehicle parking.

·       Although the carports were slightly smaller than the standard as outlined in the Design Code due to separate bin and cycle storage. However, they were still capable of accommodating a car.

·       Parking provision had already been established under the previous permission, and the carports did not raise any substantive concerns regarding size or impact.

 

Councillor Martin Presccott proposed to grant permission and this was seconded by Councillor Tom Tyson and, following a vote, it was:

 

RESOLVED: That application 26/01373/S73 be GRANTED planning permission subject to the conditions as set out in the report of the Development and Conservation Manager.
