Minutes: The Head of Planning submitted
plans deposited as applications to develop land under the Town and Country
Planning Act 1990. 20/0374/FUL Erection of part-three, part-four storey residential building
comprising 72no. beds for student accommodation (sui
generis) at Land adjacent to Ayresome Gardens,
Middlesbrough, TS1 4QN for Mr S Chambers The above application had been
identified as requiring a site visit by members of the Planning and Development
Committee. Accordingly, a site visit had been held on the morning prior to the
meeting. 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 Head of Planning advised that
the application had been submitted for consideration to the Planning and
Development Committee, on two previous occasions, and was subsequently
deferred. Members were therefore advised that it was important that a decision
was made in respect of the application. The committee was also advised that
Councillor Cooper, in his capacity as Ward Councillor, had previously submitted
an objection in respect of the application, which he had now subsequently
withdrawn. The Council’s Solicitor explained
that the committee had previously deferred the application to seek further
information on the access to the site, the trees and the car parking. It was
clarified that Ayresome Gardens was public open
space, meaning that the public could cross it for recreational purposes (e.g.
walking, cycling, running etc.). If the building was constructed, the public
could use Ayresome Gardens to access it. If approval
was granted, planning permission did not provide an unequivocal right to
utilise Ayresome Gardens for the purpose of
constructing the building, for instance parking construction vehicles and
storing building materials. Ultimately, the use of the land to construct the
building could result in the public right of way being obstructed or diverted. The Development Control Manager
advised that the application was first taken to the committee meeting in
December 2021, and then subsequently in March 2022 and confirmed the reason for
deferral. The scheme, since its initial
submission, had been amended by providing a reconfiguration to the parking/drop
off bays to the rear of the premises, provision of details in relation to cycle
storage, amended refuse store details and most recently, the reduction in the
number of bed spaces from 74 down to 72. Discussion had also taken place in
relation to access to the site and removal of trees within the adjacent Ayresome Gardens. The application site had been granted planning permission for a similar use in 2016. Through planning permission, consent had been granted for the construction of a part-two/part-three storey building, with a brick/block with render external appearance, accommodating 72 student beds. Although the development had not been constructed, pre-commencement conditions had been discharged and groundworks commenced, meaning the 2016 permission had a technical commencement and was extant, and could be built out any time.

Any other urgent items which in the opinion of the Chair, may be considered. Minutes: Notifications and Reporting The Head of
Planning explained that work was being undertaken to produce lists of delegated
decisions for future meetings of the Planning and Development Committee. The Head of
Planning advised that a new planning portal had been implemented and technical
issues had been encountered with notifications and reporting. It was explained that the weekly list of
planning applications, which was previously emailed to all Councillors, was
currently unavailable in the format previously provided. A solution to
reintroduce a weekly emails was currently being explored. In the meantime, Members were still able to
access the weekly lists via the portal and Members would continue to receive
notification of applications once interested parties were consulted. NOTED |
