Decking and fencing to rear, erection of a decking walkway with railings from the decking to the patio area. No decision09/04681/F – 4 St Paul’s Road
Change of use from office use to student residence accommodation, including erection of a two storey extension to the rear garden of the property, and landscaping works to the front garden to restore the original frontage. Subject of Pre Application in September last. No decision
CAP 4 St Paul’s Road Clifton - 09/04681/F
The alterations to the scheme do not change the Panel’s comments at the pre-application presentation. Whilst the Panel welcomed the proposed conservation gains in the front garden the proposed development would be over intensive. The future occupants would not have sufficient amenity space. There is a gross under provision for recycling and waste storage. It is inappropriate to provide large structures for cycle storage and waste in a front garden. The link to the existing building was weak. This is the only house in a terrace of three (houses) that retains the original rear garden. The loss of the whole garden to development would be a significant loss of open space amenity in the area. The Panel was concerned about the degradation of these properties if the owners of the neighbouring properties sought permission for similar intensive development schemes in their rear gardens.
The Panel strongly objected.
*** 09/05085/Y – Pavement outside The Cottage, Pembroke Grove
Installation of broadband fibre cabinet on pavement outside the property. The first of 17 such applications to date by BT Openreach (measurements where given are height 1600mm x width 1200mm x depth 450mm)*** 09/05111/T – Land off Ladies Mile
Renewal of temporary planning permission 08/01174/T. Use of land for controlled overflow car parking for up to 60 days in each calendar year. No decision
CAP Bristol Zoo - 09/05111/F/C
The Panel was profoundly disappointed that after a further year no real progress had been made in removing the need for parking on the Downs. The Panel has repeatedly seen this application without any successful strategy being proposed. The unmentioned financial relations between the parties must be resolved. This application should be refused unless the applicant agrees a business plan with the Department to find a solution to this problem.
