The site is a parcel of land lying on the south western side of Cronk Road opposite the Bay View Methodist Chapel. The site falls within an area of residential use on this side of the road.
The site has had a history of development proposals - mostly unsuccessful.
PA 02/2580 proposed development on all of the site between Cronk Road and the rear of the residential properties (this latest application is for approximately half of this space). That scheme proposed the erection of six apartments following a refusal for eight (PA 02/1936). This proposal for six apartments was refused on appeal for reasons relating to the usability of the parking spaces proposed (although 9 was accepted as the number required for the scheme). Also the Inspector considered that the scheme would adversely affect the amenities (light and standards of living environment) of "The Craggs" due to the extension of the rear wall of the main part of the proposed building beyond the rear wall of the main frontage of "The Craggs". The Inspector was not persuaded that concerns about stability or overlooking were appropriate to warrant refusal of the application.
The latest application proposes a building which does not extend beyond the main rear wall of "The Craggs". The building will accommodate four apartments and provides eight spaces all of which are fully sized and usable. These amendments appear to overcome the objections raised to the previous application.
However there is an objection from the owners of "The Craggs" relating to the omission of the side elevation, the deficiency in the dimensions of the parking spaces (with which I do not agree). They ask for conditions to be attached to any approval relating to a gap of 1m left between their and the application property, no structure shall exceed a height which blocks light to their rear yard and outlet, no use of any flat area as a balcony and a restriction on the hours of work and noise levels. Much of this is not suitable for conditions and rely on proper consideration of the plans proposed.
Defer for side elevation and section through parking provision.
The applicant has submitted further information which fully illustrates the slope and position of the parking spaces and the side elevation which illustrates the absence of windows in this elevation.
The scheme fully addresses the concerns of the previous application.
