Ward Brookside Presented By: Ben Clarke Extn 8916 Minutes: Councillors N Choudary and Mason left the meeting in accordance with their earlier declarations of interest given at minute 4 above.
The Head of Planning submitted a report in respect of application no. N/2011/0215, elaborated thereon and in answer to a question commented that if the Committee were minded to approve the application it was suggested that the extension of hours would apply for a 12 month period in the first instance (proposed condition 1) and the applicant would need to apply again if they wanted to make this permanent.
Mrs Johnston, the Secretary of Brookside Hall Community Association, asked that the Committee approve the application without restriction as she understood that the consent could be revoked at any time. She commented that the Community Centre was not licenced and that it was a community facility and that the 24 hour opening was only needed occasionally. In answer to a question Mrs Johnston stated that the Pentecostal Church and the Tabernacle Outreach Church had made requests to have services at 23.00 hours.
In answer to questions the Head of Planning clarified that the application for 24 hour opening only referred to the taxi office and the community centre and not to the other uses on the site; that the reason behind suggesting a temporary consent was so as to be able to assess how use of the Community Centre worked out in practice and that proposed condition 5 prevented the use of public address systems or amplified music beyond the existing hours of operation.
The Committee discussed the application.
Councillor Hibbert proposed and Councillor Hallam seconded “That the application be approved but that condition 1 be amended to allow the temporary use for a six month period.”
Upon a vote the motion was carried.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report and as amended in respect of Condition 1 to allow the temporary use for a six month period, as the proposed variation of condition would have a neutral impact upon the amenities of neighbouring properties and would support the continued use of the property as a community centre. The proposal was therefore in compliance with the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework.

Ward St James Presented By: Rowena Simpson Extn 7848 Minutes: The Head of Planning submitted a report in respect of application number N/2012/0290, elaborated thereon and in answer to questions commented that the works to improve the turning circle would have to be completed before work on the scheme commenced and that the Council would be the enforcement authority if this did not happen.
The Committee discussed the application.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report as the siting, size and design of the development would not adversely affect the character of the area nor adversely affect the amenity of neighbouring properties in accordance with saved policies E19, E20 and H6 of the Northampton Local Plan |

Ward Castle Presented By: Andrew Holden Extn 8466 Minutes: The Head of Planning submitted a report in respect of application no. N/2012/0328 elaborated thereon and referred to the Addendum that set out an objection from the Managing Agents of Derngate Mews and confirmations of the positions of the Chief Fire Officer and Private Sector Housing Officer.
Councillor Stone, as Ward Councillor, thanked the applicants for the revised plans and the efforts they had made to meet the concerns that had been raised at the last meeting however concerns remained that the proposal was too dense; fourteen units was still more than the previous consent for 10; that the rubbish storage and cycle store were inadequate; and inadequate parking provision. In answer to questions Councillor Stone commented that her constituents view was that the existing planning permission for 10 units was already dense and therefore more than ten was too dense.
Mr Moody, the Operations Director for the managing company that would look after the premises, noted that the average rent for similar sized accommodation in Northampton was £70 per week. Given that these premises would be high spec aimed at young professionals, they would be seeking to achieve rent of £100 to £125 per week. He commented that typically 40% of their tenants did not own cars. All tenants would have Harmonious Living Guidelines that were designed to manage out issues with neighbours along with frequent visits from a site supervisor. Mr Moody commented that the previous permission for 10 units would have allowed for couples so the actual number of occupants could have been higher than under this proposal. He also stated that as Managing Agents their properties in Derby had achieved accreditation for the standard achieved.
Dr Rawcliffe, the applicant, commented that she had taken account of the Committee’s previous comments and had reconfigured the internal layout. One room was now nearly three times larger than the legal requirement. All the rooms had ensuites. The current lawful use of the building was as a HIMO with 8 units together with 6 offices which she suggested was a greater use than the proposal. The planning permission for 10 units had now lapsed. Safe cycle and rubbish storage had been provided. Dr Rawcliffe commented that the building had cost nearly £300,000 to purchase and the internal works would cost a further £200,000 which put the scheme on the limit of affordability.
The Head of Planning confirmed that the previous planning permission that had now lapsed had been for 10 units (flats) with a total of 18 bedrooms and no car parking. This proposal included five allocated car park spaces.
The Committee discussed the application.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report as the proposal would not have an undue detrimental impact on the character of the locality or on residential amenity of the area and would not give rise to highway safety problems. The proposal is therefore compliant with NPPF and Policies E20 and E26 of the Northampton Local ... view the full minutes text for item 10j |

Ward Castle Presented By: Rowena Simpson Extn 7848 Minutes: The Head of Planning submitted a report in respect of application no. N/2012/0375, elaborated thereon and in response to a question noted that the conditions in respect of the window display would be as for the original consent.
Councillor Stone as Ward Councillor, commented that she was representing residents who had objected originally and who liked the fact that the area was quieter after 6.00pm and were concerned at the noise and disturbance that would result from later opening hours.
Mr Fraser-Wright, spouse of the applicant, commented that they had been pleased with the business so far but they had had many requests from customers, and had lost some business as a result, for later appointments after normal office hours. In answer to a question Mr Fraser-Wright commented that he would be happy to review the window display/signage.
The Head of Planning commented that the window display met the condition set on the existing consent and that the signage of the window did not need advertisement consent.
The Committee discussed the application.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report as the proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the Boot and Shoe Conservation Area and by reason of its location, would not lead to any adverse impacts on nearby commercial or residential premises. The proposal therefore complied with saved Policies E20 and E26 of the Northampton Local Plan.

Ward Castle Presented By: Rowena Simpson Extn 7848 Minutes: The Head of Planning submitted a report in respect of application no. N/2012/0438 elaborated thereon and noted that the applicant had commented that the changing area was likely to be sub-divided into cubicles. In answer to questions he commented that the building had been empty for a few months and its use as a Community Room had started in 2001.
Councillor Stone, as Ward Councillor, commented that it was a regret that community facilities would be lost especially in a period of recession. She commented that residents had heard rumours that the spa would be for men only and had worries about the rear exit being used as a main entrance and the opening hours.
In answer to questions the Head of Planning commented that the rear door was a fire exit and the applicant had indicated that he had no intention to use this door as anything other than a fire exit; this could be conditioned. He further commented that the gender of the clientele was not a planning matter but the applicant had implied mixed use and that the hours of opening were conditioned.
The Committee discussed the application.
Councillor Hallam proposed and Councillor Oldham seconded “That the application be approved subject to an additional condition controlling the use of the rear exit as a means of escape only and not for general access/egress.”
Upon a vote the motion was carried.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report and an additional condition controlling the use of the rear exit as a fire escape as the proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area and by reason of its location, would not lead to any adverse impacts on nearby commercial or residential premises. The proposal therefore complied with saved Policies E19 and E20 of the Northampton Local Plan.
Councillors Hallam and Lynch left the remainder of the meeting in accordance with their declarations of interest set out in minute 4 above.
Councillor vacated the Chair and left the remainder of the meeting in accordance with his declaration of interest set out in minute 4 above.
Councillor Hibbert assumed the Chair for the remainder of the meeting in accordance with the Committee’s decision set out in minute 4 above.
