SUSPENSION OF COUNCIL PROCEDURE RULE NO 5 - ORDER OF BUSINESS

ORDERED that, in accordance with Council Procedure Rule No 5, the committee agreed to vary the order of business.

ORDERED that the following applications be determined as shown:

21/0676/COU Change of use from dwellinghouse to family time centre at 3 Cargo Fleet Lane, Middlesbrough for Middlesbrough Council

Full details of the planning application and the plan status were outlined in the report. The report contained a detailed analysis of the application and analysed relevant policies from the National Planning Policy Framework and the Local Development Framework.

The Development Control Manager advised that planning permission was sought for the change of use from dwelling house (Class C3) to family time centre (Sui Generis). It was planned that the premises would be used to provide support for local families, including supervised visits by parents on an appointment basis.  No more than three families would be on site at any one time with a maximum of ten people, including parents, children and staff at the premises. Opening hours would be 8.30 a.m. to 18.30 p.m. Monday to Friday. The centre would not be used on evenings or weekends.

The application site was located on the eastern side of Cargo Fleet Lane, opposite the junction with Park Avenue South in the Park End/Beckfield Ward of Middlesbrough. The area had a primarily residential character with some local services nearby. The property was currently a semi-detached dwelling and the attached property to the south was also a dwelling.

Within a residential area, the service provision could be reasonably accessed by public transport and was in relative close proximity to other community-based provisions.

Vehicular access was taken off Cargo Fleet Lane. Following concerns raised in respect of parking provision at the site, revised plans showing five parking spaces and one disabled parking space (along with a turning area within the site) had been submitted. Given that there would be four staff at the site and its proximity to public transport routes, it was considered that the proposed parking provision was adequate for the proposed use.  Furthermore, the facility for vehicles to turn and leave the site in forward gear was seen as an improvement in terms of road safety.  The Council’s Highways Officer had considered the proposal and had raised no objection.

It was considered that adequate parking and manoeuvring provision would be provided by the proposal, given the intended level of activity. Therefore, the proposal would not result in an  ...  view the full minutes text for item 21/37
