PLANNING APPLICATION 15/0451 - 585-593 PROMENADE AND 1 WIMBOURNE PLACE The Committee is requested to consider an application for planning permission, details of which are set out in the accompanying report. Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered Planning Application 15/0451 for the erection of part 5/part 7 storey block of 99 self-contained permanent flats with car parking for 84 vehicles, access and associated works following the demolition of existing hotels.
Mr Johnston (Head of Development Management) presented the report on the application. He emphasised the planning officers’ view that the application was acceptable in principle and if members were minded to approve the application that this should be in principle with the final approval delegated to the Head of Development Management subject to the completion of a Section 106 agreement in relation to the payment of a commuted sum in lieu of on-site provision of 30% of the flats as affordable housing. Mr Johnston highlighted the update note were an additional condition had been proposed following the receipt of amended plans which now showed an acceptable transition between the proposed development and the remainder of the Crescent to the north and with the Ocean Bay Hotel to the north and showing the relationship to the remainder of the Crescent and to properties fronting Clifton Drive. Mr Johnston circulated a further email representation from the owner of the Ocean Bay Hotel to members and the applicant.
Mr Hyatt spoke in objection to the application and highlighted local residents’ concerns about the size and scale of development and how it would integrate with existing buildings.
Mr Joyce, the agent for the applicant, spoke in support of the application and highlighted that the building would be a similar height to other developments nearby which had already received planning permission including the proposed Hampton by Hilton Hotel.
Members expressed concerns about the size, scale, intensity and design of the building and the inadequacy of car parking on site. They concluded that this application would impact negatively on the residential amenity of neighbouring properties and that these disbenefits were not outweighed by the advantages of the development.
Resolved:
That the application be refused for the grounds set out in the Appendix to the minutes.
