DECLARATIONS
OF INTEREST 78c Cllr. Delmas Lives on the Elms.
77 MINUTES The Minutes
of the meeting held 9 November 2004 were read & signed.
c) APPLICATION 04/P/2767/F Erection of two
storey building to provide 3 no.
retail units on ground floor with 2
units in retail (A1) use and 1 unit in food and
drink (A3) use. Provide 4 no. self-contained flats on first
floor. Formation of
retail customer parking and separate
residential parking for Bickfields Associates
at The Elms Local Centre,
There is Outline permission for the
Nursing Home & some retail units.
RECOMMENDATION REFUSE
There seems little justification for
the retail units (A1) and considerable objections
to the retail unit (A3)
It is considered to be out of character
with the surrounding properties, being blue
and amber walls with steel and
aluminium furniture and a flat poly. roof.
The three retail units are not
considered to be needed or appropriate.
It is
considered that the Nursing Home could
have its footprint extended whilst
reducing the height to two
storeys. Or, if the Nursing Home is to
be left as three
storeys then the area where the retail
units are proposed could be given over to
Affordable Housing.
It is incorrect to state that the land,
on which the proposed application is to be
situated, is even and this should be
re-addressed.
We understand that this application has
been called in. If not, we feel that
it
should be.
