Retrospective application for the change of use of the outbuilding to gym, childrens' entertainment and leisure room with shower room and WC facilities

Minutes:

The committee received the report of the Interim Head of Development Management, including the relevant planning history of the site.

 

The Principal Planning Officer (AR) explained that this was a retrospective application for the change of use of the outbuilding to a gym and childrens' entertainment and leisure room with shower and WC facilities.

 

The Chair invited Park Ward Councillor Jessica Stiff to speak against the application.  Councillor Stiff outlined neighbours’ frustration that this application was once again before the committee, seeking retrospective planning permission as a result of changes to its proposed use.  Neighbours had concerns that the outbuilding could be used inappropriately in the future, possibly as a dwelling or school, and sought reassurance from the council that steps would be taken to prevent this.  A similar outbuilding near to the application address had recently been refused planning permission.

 

The Principal Planning Officer advised that this application sought to regularise the use of the outbuilding and secure it as incidental to the dwellinghouse.  This would be achieved using a s106 agreement, a legal agreement between the homeowner and the council which would continue for the life of the building.  Neighbours should advise the council if there was any improper use in the future.

 

Committee members were sympathetic to neighbours’ concerns about the intended use of the outbuilding and the potential for disturbance.  Following clarification from the Interim Head of Development Management, it was accepted that noise disturbance was an environment health consideration.

 

The Chair moved the officer’s recommendation.
