36 THE RIDGEWAY, CUFFLEY. HERTFORDSHIRE, EN6 4AX - 6/2018/2863/FULL - ERECTION OF SIX RESIDENTIAL UNITS FOLLOWING THE DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING DWELLING, SUPPORTING STRUCTURES AND ASSOCIATED ANCILLARY BUILDINGS

Report of the Corporate Director (Public Protection, Planning and Governance).

Minutes:

Report of the Corporate Director (Public Protection, Planning and Governance) setting out the erection of six residential units following the demolition of the existing dwelling, supporting structures and associated ancillary building.

 

The application site comprised a detached dwelling in a large, wide and deep plot on the northern side of The Ridgeway.  The dwellings along The Ridgeway were large and generally well set back from the road in spacious deep plots and in this case, the site extended back as far as the dwellings along Bradgate Close and Coulter Close, roads of a denser, more urban character than The Ridgeway.

 

The site sloped down from front to rear by 8.65m and was currently well treed and landscaped.  It was partly within the Northaw Great Wood Landscape Character Area and very close to wildlife site 162 to the west.  Parts of the site also bordered the Green Belt to the west and south.  The site was within the boundaries of the built up area of Cuffley and was not in the Green Belt. 

 

The application had been presented to the Development Management Committee because a major objection has been received from Northaw and Cuffley Parish Council.

 

Ms A.Squires as applicant spoke in support of the development.

 

Mr T.Izzet, an objector, spoke against the application stating that he considered the proposal would result in an overdevelopment of the plot and a road that would be denser and more urban character than remainder of The Ridgeway.  The development would also be totally out of keeping of the area.

 

Following discussion, it was proposed by Councillor P.Hebden seconded by Councillor A.Chesterman and

 

RESOLVED:

(10 voting for and 3 against)

 

That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions set out in the report, the updating of plan numbers, as agreed with the applicant, be delegated to the Head of Planning prior to the issue of the decision notice.

POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE STATEMENT

 

The decision has been made taking into account, where practicable and appropriate the requirements of paragraph 38 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).
