PLANS
The Head of Development submitted plans deposited as applications to develop land under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Head of Development Control reported thereon.
ORDERED that the following applications be determined as shown: -
M/FP/0644/10/P – Change of use from (a1) retail shop to hot food takeaway (a5) at 269 Acklam Road for Mrs F Jasmine.
The Head of Development advised that this application had been identified as requiring a site visit by members of the Planning and Development Committee. Accordingly, a site visit was held prior to the meeting.
Details of the plan status and planning history were outlined in the report. Full details of the proposal were also included in the report.
Neighbourhood consultations have taken place and the Council had received 15 individual written objections to the application. The grounds for objection included; too many takeaways in the area already, loss of newsagent, litter, noise and disturbance, effect of vitality of shopping centre, anti-social behaviour, accumulation of food waste to rear of premises, blocked drains and smells. A 31-signature petition had also been submitted, objecting to this application. The Ward Councillors, Councillor Pearson and Councillor Whatley, both objected to the application, as did the Lodore Residents Association. The full details of all these objections were included in the report. Comments were also received from Environmental Protection and Street Scene - Refuse.
A detailed analysis of the application was also included in the report. Particular reference was made to Policies DC1 and CS13 and REG28 of the Middlesbrough Local Development Framework.
The applicant was present and elected to address the committee. Councillors Biswas, Lowes and Mrs H Pearson, OBE, were also present and all three spoke in opposition to this application from the aspect of both Acklam and Kader Wards.

Refused on the grounds that the proposed use was considered unacceptable in the Acklam Road/Mandale Road local centre. It would introduce a further non-retail use within the shopping frontage and, when considered with reference to the existing levels of hot food shops/non-shop uses, would further undermine the viability and vitality of the group. It would be to the detriment of the character and function of the area and thus be in conflict with Policy CS13 (test c – vitality/viability) and policy REG29 (test d – vitality/viability) of the Middlesbrough Development Plan.
M/FP/0561/10/P – Erection of 2½ storey 60-bed residential care home with associated parking and service road on land between 16 and 18 Cambridge Road, Linthorpe for Galloway Timbers Limited.
The Head of Development advised that this application had been identified as requiring a site visit by members of the Planning and Development Committee. Accordingly, a site visit was held prior to the meeting.
Details of the plan status and planning history were outlined in the report.
Members were reminded that a previous application in February 2010 had been refused on the grounds of over-development of the site.
Full details of the proposal were included in the report. As this was a re-submission of a similar scheme, the report included comparative information from the earlier applications, one being withdrawn in September 2009 and the second refused by committee in February 2010.
Neighbourhood consultations had taken place and the application had been advertised in the press and by notice displayed at the site, as both a Major Development and a development affecting the character of Linthorpe Conservation Area. Ward Councillors and the Community Council were also notified. Following the receipt of a supplementary tree report, neighbours would again consulted and their responses reported verbally at committee. Three letters or emails had been received raising objections to this application, from the occupiers of Nos. 16, 18 and 68 Cambridge Road. Councillor Elder, as Ward Councillor, also upheld her objections to this development. The full details of all these objections were included in the report. Comments were also received from Transportation, Community Protection, Waste Policy and Performance Manager, Designing Out Crime officer, Tees Archaeology, Northern Gas Networks and Northumbrian Water, the full details of which were also included in the report.
A detailed analysis of the application was included in the report and particular reference was made to Policies DC1, CS1, CS4, of the Middlesbrough Local Development Framework and government policies PPS5, PPG13 and PPG15. Members were advised that this application needed to be assessed against the planning policy framework set by the Local Development Framework, Core Strategy case policies. The analysis addressed the following issues in connection with this application.
Planning Policy Framework Impact on the Linthorpe Conservation Area Highways and Community Protection matters Responses to Neighbour Representations
The Head of Development addressed objections to the application from the Bishop’s house at No. 16 Cambridge, the occupants at No. 18 Cambridge Road and from Ward Councillor, Councillor Elder. Reference was also made to comments from English Heritage and the Tree Survey provided by the applicant’s agent. A response to all these objections was included in the addendum report.
In concluding the analysis, close examination had been made of the representations in response to the statutory publicity and notification exercise in this case. It also looked at both the support and objections for the previous proposals. Members were advised that the conclusion was reached as a result of a number of factors, including the reduced scale and plot coverage of the proposed building, which was reduced from 54% of the site to 32% of the site, referring to the
2 Planning and Development Committee 23 July 2010 amount of external hardstanding area. As a result, this proposal meant that the majority of the garden areas would be retained. Further details were included in the report, including an additional condition was also recommended in the addendum report.
The applicant and agent were present and the applicant elected to address the committee. Councillor Elder was also present, as Ward Councillor, and also addressed the committee in opposition to this application. There were three objectors (one with a representative) and all were allowed to address the committee.

Particular reference was made to Policies CS1, CS4, CS5, CS9, CS11 and DC1 of the Middlesbrough Local Development Framework.
Reasons for Recommendation
The application was acceptable in that it was in accordance with National and Local Policy Guidance contained within Planning Policy Statement 1, Planning Policy Statement 3 and Middlesbrough Local Development Framework Core Strategy Policies CS1, CS4, CS5, CS9, CS11 and DC1.
The proposed development was of a scale, layout, design and appearance appropriate to its context and would not be materially detrimental to the character and appearance of the locality and surroundings or the amenities of adjacent occupiers. The development would integrate with the existing urban form and contribute to the overall quality and character of the area.
Issues of highways and traffic, vehicular access for the development, car parking and pedestrian movement had been fully considered and found to be satisfactory.
The application was therefore considered to be an acceptable form of development, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there were no material considerations, which would indicate that the development should be refused.

M/FP/0672/10/P – Two storey extension to side, two storey and single storey extensions to rear and outbuilding
Details of the plan status and planning history were outlined in the report.
Full details of the proposal were also included in the report.
Neighbourhood consultations had taken place and an objection received from the occupier of No. 35 Stoneleigh Avenue on the grounds of loss of light, over development of the site and the over -bearing nature of the proposed extensions. Comments from Transportation were also included in the report.
A detailed analysis of the application was also included in the report. This analysis also considered the neighbour’s objections to the proposal.

M/FP/0692/10/P – Replacement windows and door at 56 Thornfield Road, Linthorpe for Miss Y Banaras
Details of the plan status and planning history were outlined in the report.
Full details of the proposal were also included in the report. Members were advised that permission was sought to replace the existing 2 no. timber framed sash bay windows with replacement windows in uPVC, which would also be sash style, including stained glass on the upper panes, to match the pattern and colours of the existing. The proportions of the windows would not be altered.
A comprehensive neighbourhood consultation had taken place and no representations were made. Comments were received, however, from the Conservation Officer. He stated that the Linthorpe Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan stated that ‘the council would resist the replacement of timber doors and windows which would affect the appearance of the building, where the proposal would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the building or to the wider Conservation Area’ and ‘Many of the buildings within the Conservation Area had lost their original door, windows and other features. As a result, their character has been eroded, together with that of the wider area’. Reference was made to PPS5 Planning for the Historic Environment.
Members were advised that, as the original windows had previously been replaced, and the proposed replacements were an improved to those currently in situ, the Conservation Officer did not object to this application.
An analysis of the application was included in the report.
Reasons for Recommendation This application is satisfactory in that the design of the proposed windows and door accorded with the principles of National Planning Policy (Planning Policy Statement1) and local policy requirements (Policies CS1, DC1 & CS5 of the Council's Development Plan). In particular the windows and door were designed so that their appearance was complementary to the existing dwellinghouse and so that it will not have a detrimental impact on the amenity of any adjoining or nearby resident. The windows and door would not prejudice the appearance of the area and does not significantly affect any landscaping nor prevent adequate and safe access to the dwelling. The windows and doors do not further harm the character and appearance of the conservation area. The application is therefore considered to be an acceptable form of development, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there are no material considerations which would indicate that the development should be refused
Approved on condition that (i) the development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of THREE years from the date of this permission; (ii) the development hereby approved shall be carried out in complete accordance with the original plans and specifications received on 17 June 2010 and shall relate to no other plans. (iii) The windows must be clear glazing. Thereafter, the windows shall be retained as approved. (Reasons as detailed in the report).
M/FP/0733/10/P – Replacement windows to front of 69 Cambridge Road, Linthorpe, for Mr M Bartlett
Details of the plan status and planning history were outlined in the report.
0153ad0c46a3e0af72d4957064321466.doc 7 Planning and Development Committee 23 July 2010
A comprehensive neighbourhood consultation had taken place and no representations were made. Comments were received, however, from the Conservation Officer. He stated that the Linthorpe Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan stated that ‘the council would resist the replacement of timber doors and windows which would affect the appearance of the building, where the proposal would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the building or to the wider Conservation Area’ and ‘Many of the buildings within the Conservation Area had lost their original door, windows and other features. As a result, their character has been eroded, together with that of the wider area’. Reference was made to PPS5 Planning for the Historic Environment.
The Conservation Officer commented extensively on the use of uPVC windows in a Conservation Area and concluded that the proposed windows for this application did not reflect the design of the original windows and did not make a positive contribution to the Conservation Area.
A detailed analysis of the application was also included in the report and particular reference was made to Policies CS4, CS5 and DC1 of the Local Development Framework, as well as Article 4(2) within Linthorpe Conservation Area.
Reasons for Recommendation
The application was considered to be unsatisfactory in that the proposed replacement windows to front were contrary to and conflicted with the principles of National Planning Policy (PPS 1) and the Local Development Framework policy requirements (policies CS5 (h) and DC1 (b)).
The application was considered to be an unacceptable form of development, contrary to Local and National Policy and on balance, the material considerations indicated that the development should be refused.
Refused on the grounds that the replacement windows would be a conspicuous element in the street scene, out of keeping with the design of the existing dwelling house and would be harmful to the special character of the Linthorpe Conservation Area, to the detriment of the visual amenities of surrounding residents. The proposal was wholly in conflict with Policies DC1 (test b) and CS5 (test h) as well as the principles of PPS5.
M/AMD/1456/09/P – Non material amendment to m/fp/1456/09/p for a new parapet wall and first floor window to gable end, and alterations to soil vent pipe at 91 Park Road South for Sultan Zeb
Details of the plan status and planning history were outlined in the report.
Members were advised that this application sought approval to an amendment to the approved plans to allow the development to be built closer to the boundary of the site. The amendment also sought to alter the side elevation by adding a parapet to the top of the elevation, the inclusion of an additional opaque glazed window and the removal of a soil vent pipe.
Whilst no formal consultation was required, there had been one objection made to this proposed amendment. A planning officer had visited the objector and delivered a copy of the amended plan. No objection has then been received.
A detailed analysis of the application was included in the report. The original application was approved under delegated powers, however the development was not being built in accordance with the approved plans. AS the building was now closer to the site boundary, concern had been expressed regarding encroachment onto the public footpath adjacent to the site. A Building Control officer had visited the site and confirmed that there was no encroachment at ground level. However, the guttering and eaves would extend over public space and the proposed soil vent on this outside wall had been moved to avoid encroachment. Reference was also made to the proposed additional opaque glazed window and the parapet.
Policies CS5 and DC1 were the relevant policies to consider in relation to this application.
8 Planning and Development Committee 23 July 2010
Reasons for Recommendation
This amendment to the extension is satisfactory in that the design of the amendment to the extension accords with the principles of National Planning Policy Planning Policy Statement 1) and local policy requirements (Policies CS1, DC1 & CS5 of the Council's Development Plan).
In particular the amendment to the extension is designed so that its appearance is complementary to the existing dwellinghouse and so that it will not have a detrimental impact on the amenity of any adjoining or nearby resident. The amendment to the extension will not prejudice the appearance of the area and does not significantly affect any landscaping nor prevent adequate and safe access to the dwelling.
The amendment is therefore considered to be an acceptable form of development, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there are no material considerations which would indicate that the development should be refused.
Approved on condition that the development hereby approved shall be carried out in complete accordance with the plan and specifications received on 2nd July 2010 and shall relate to no other plans. (Reason: To ensure a satisfactory form of development and for the avoidance of doubt).
