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

In accordance with Council Procedure Rule No. 4.57, the Committee agreed to vary the order of business.

ORDERED that the following applications be determined as shown:

24/0179/COU 22 Dixons Bank, Middlesbrough, TS7 8NT. Change of use from residential dwelling (C3) to care facility (C2).

The Development Control Manager submitted a report regarding an application that sought planning permission for the change of use of the property from a residential dwellinghouse (C3) to residential care facility (C2). Consent was being sought for the caring of up to five children between the ages of 9 and 17 at the property.

The principal reason for the change of use of the property was the requirement to move from its existing premises at Rigwood House in Saltburn.

Following the consultation period, a number of objections were received expressing concerns about the proposals and their expected operations, which were detailed in the report. The main issues raised were on the grounds of staff parking and general traffic movements at the site and along the side road, as well as concerns about potential associated nuisance implications associated with the use/residents.

Noting the number of expected staff and users at any one time and the parking spaces within the curtilage of the application site, Members were advised that, in officer’s views, the number of vehicles anticipated with the proposals can be accommodated at the site. Any surplus parking outside of the site was likely to be infrequent and could be accommodated near the property. As such parking issues were not likely to adversely affect the amenities of nearby residents.

The activities associated with the proposed residential care facility use were considered to be compatible and appropriate within a residential estate in a suburban context. Many issues raised relating to anti-social behaviour had no evidence to demonstrate that this would be the outcome of the use and such matters could also be associated with the occupation of any residential dwelling.

The application site was a two-storey detached residential dwellinghouse situated on the eastern side of Dixons Bank, Marton. The local area was a well-established residential area, which comprised predominantly of two-storey semi-detached properties arranged at a medium density.

Members were advised that, in accordance with Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, Local Planning Authorities must determine applications for planning permission in accordance with the Development Plan for the area, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The report detailed the planning policy position in relation to the application.

The Development Control Manager advised the Committee that the application be approved subject to conditions.

A representative from Highfield North East was in attendance to speak in support of the application.

The Committee was advised:
