SUSPENSION OF COUNCIL PROCEDURE RULE NO. 4.13.2 – ORDER OF BUSINESS

In accordance with Council Procedure Rules 4.8.25 the Chair proposed a motion without notice, which was seconded and agreed, to change the order of business. The motion proposed that Agenda Item 5 (“Schedule of Planning Applications to be considered by Committee”) be considered in the following order:

ORDERED that the following applications be determined as shown:

Items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 2.

The Head of Planning submitted plans deposited as applications to develop land under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

25/0190/MAJ, TURFORD AVENUE SOCIAL CLUB, Turford Avenue, MIDDLESBROUGH, TS3 9AT, Erection of 10no. bungalows including associated works and landscaping

Boundary treatments would be varied across the site, with decorative low brick wall and railings fronting all properties, with two-metre-high timber fencing to separate rear gardens and one-metre-high timber fencing round the BNG planting area. The dwellings would be constructed in traditional materials to complement the surrounding residential properties.

Overall, the application was considered to be a quality sustainable development, which would assist economic growth in the town and through providing bungalows in this part of Middlesbrough added to the local housing stock. It had been shown that this site was considered to be a suitable site for residential development and the design and layout of the proposals had been appraised as being largely in line with local policy and guidance.

It was considered the proposals would have a positive impact on the character of the area and not affect any existing nearby residents. On balance, the proposals were deemed not to conflict with local or national planning policies, and there were no technical reasons why the proposed  ...  view the full minutes text for item 25/29
