Introduction of
Powers Enabling Service of a Temporary Stop Notice
The Committee received the
report of the Head of Planning Services. The report familarised Members with
changes introduced by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 which
inserts new sections into the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 enabling the
Authority to serve a Temporary Stop Notice.
RESOLVED :
THAT the
report be noted.
(d)
Other Matters Not Relating To Current Planning
Applications
(i) TCP/17752/E
– Demolition of former rectory, St. Mildreds Rectory, 73 Cambridge Road, East
Cowes
The application was first considered by the
Committee on the 15 March 2005. At this meeting it was deferred for further
negotiation, to explore alternative possibilities of redeveloping the site for
residential purposes. Following correspondence with Planning Officers and the
applicants agent, the agents clients had decided to ask the Committee to
reconsider (and determine) the application in its present form.
RESOLVED :
THAT
contrary to Officer recommendation, the application be refused
Reasons for refusal:
1.
The Local Planning
Authority considers the contextual analysis in the submitted design statement
has failed to recognise the distinctiveness of the local area, particularly
Cambridge Road and therefore the explanation for an Art Deco statement building
as a design solution has not been justified in this case. Therefore the
architectural design is considered to be inappropriate in this location, being
unsympathetic and out of character with the area, contrary to policy D1
(Standard of Design) and D2 (Standards for Development within the Site) of the
Isle of Wight Unitary Development Plan.
2.
This is a prominent
corner site in the general scale of building particularly the four storey
element is considered to be excessive having a over dominant and over bearing
effect on the local area in general
(ii)
TCP/14203/D – Change of use of agricultural land to
form golf course, land off Chawton Lane, Northwood, Cowes Members
considered
RESOLVED :
THAT the application be withdrawn by Officers following consultation
with the local Member.
