To receive for information a list of delegated decisions taken since the last meeting.

Members received for information a list of decisions taken under delegation for the period 27^th November to 31^st December 2017.

Members received for information the outcome of an appeal in relation to:

APP/2017/0231 Appeal against the refusal of planning permission for the change of use from a Nursing Home (Use class C2) to key worker accommodation (sui generis) at 1 The Paddock, Highfield Avenue, Burnley

The Inspector identified the following as the main issues:

1.         The principal issue related to car parking provision. Whilst there would be a choice of transport available to residents in terms of access to nearby hospitals (Burnley and Blackburn), many of the professionals would no doubt want to have access to a car for both social and possibly “on call” purposes. Therefore, even if public transport/shuttle bus, walking or cycling was utilised, many residents’ cars would parked at the appeal site.

2.         The Highway Authority assessment of a required 15 car spaces (discounted on the basis of likely car ownership from a maximum of 22; ie one per resident) was reasonable. The proposal before the Inspector provided 9 parking spaces.

3.         The Inspector considered that the proposal would result in additional vehicles being parked on Highfield Avenue, including pavement parking, to the detriment of pedestrian safety and the free flow of traffic along Highfield Avenue where there are already issues associated with street parking.

Appeal Decision – The Inspector DISMISSED the appeal.
