2 ST ALBANS ROAD EAST, HATFIELD, AL10 0HE - 6/2017/1242/FULL - ERECTION OF SINGLE STOREY SIDE AND REAR EXTENSION AND ALTERATIONS TO OPENINGS TO FACILITATE CONVERSION OF EXISTING SINGLE DWELLING INTO 5NO, 1-BEDROOM FLATS
Report of the Corporate Director (Public Protection, Planning and Governance).
Minutes:
Report of the Corporate Director (Public Protection, Planning and Governance) detailing the erection of single storey side and rear extension and alterations to openings to facilitate conversion of existing single dwelling into five one bedroom flats.
The application site comprised a semi-detached, five bed single family dwelling with attached garage and associated front driveway and rear garden. The dwelling was situated at the junction of St Albans Road East and Heyford Way, Hatfield.
Planning permission was sought for the erection of a single storey side and rear extension and conversion of this property from a five-bed single family dwelling to five one bed flats. Four off-street parking spaces would be provided within the existing hard-surfaced front driveway facing St Albans Road East.
Hatfield Town Council objected to this application for the following reasons:
“The Committee object to this application due to the fact the Hatfield Article 4 Direction desperately needs reviewing and this has been recognised by the LPA. Until such time that this has been carried out and bearing in mind that the overall concentration of HMOs in Hatfield Town Council's area needs to be reduced, no further HMOs should be permitted within the boundaries of Hatfield Town Council's area hence forth. Whilst this application provides self-contained units, it is still going to have the same effect as an HMO including the parking issues and negative effects on local residents.”
Hatfield Town Councillor J.Broach, spoke in objection to the application for the reasons set out above and in addition commented that provision had not been made in the application for a bicycle store.
It was then proposed by Councillor J.Boulton, seconded by Councillor R.Trigg and
RESOLVED:
(8 for and 5 against)
That planning permission be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report of Officers.
In addition:
The development/works shall not be started and completed other than in accordance with the approved plans and details:

1. POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT
The decision has been made taking into account, where practicable and appropriate the requirements of paragraphs 186-187 of the National Planning Policy Framework and material planning considerations do not justify a decision contrary to the development plan (see Officer’s report which can be viewed on the Council's website or inspected at these offices).
