Present Councillors Hugh Mason (Chair) Judith Smyth (Vice-Chair) Matthew Atkins Steve Pitt Terry Norton Claire Udy Welcome The chair welcomed members of the public and members to the meeting. Guildhall, Fire Procedure The Chair explained to all present at the meeting the fire procedures including where to assemble and how to evacuate the building in case of a fire. 91. Apologies (AI 1) Apologies for absence had been received from Councillors Lee Hunt, Donna Jones, Lynne Stagg and Luke Stubbs. 92. Declaration of Members' Interests (AI 2) No interests were declared. 93. Minutes of the previous meeting held on 9 October 2019 (AI 3) RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting held on 9 October 2019 be approved as a correct record to be signed by the Chair. 94. Updates on previous planning applications (AI 4) The Development Management Lead reported that: 25 Battenberg Avenue - retrospective application for a front dormer. The Inspector upheld the delegated decision to refuse this application on the grounds that it is too large and intrusive. Applications for a front dormer have now been refused three times. 29 Marmion Road - application for a rear extractor duct on the future café/ restaurant. The Inspector overturned the committee's decision to refuse the application on the grounds that there is a variety of design, age and uses of buildings in the conservation area; on balance the arrangement at the rear of the building was utilitarian but functional and that the fenestration would remain the dominant feature. The material would be the same colour as the render. It would be a more discreet location in respect to the conservation area and the main drag on Marmion Road. 1 Page 5 95. Updates on nitrates (AI 5) This item was discussed at the end of the meeting. The Assistant Director Planning & Economic Growth reported that the Mitigation Strategy had been drafted and was currently with Natural England the key statutory body whose support the council is seeking. They have assured the council that their comments would be submitted by Friday. Members would then be notified before it can be used towards the end of this month. In response to questions from the committee, he explained that planning permissions are on track to be considered by the end of the month but it could be at the start of December. It was agreed that a brief note be provided to all Planning Committee, if the information from Natural England is received on Friday. 96. 19/00762/FUL - 104 Elm Grove, Southsea PO5 1LP - Change of use from retail (Class A1) to restaurant/ café (class A3) to include installation of extraction system to the rear. (AI 6) The Planning Officer introduced the application. Deputations are not minuted, but can be viewed as part of the webcast of the meeting: https://democracy.portsmouth.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=157&MId=4247&V er=4 Robert Levin, the freeholder of the premises and Mr Essa, the applicant gave deputations in favour of the application. Members' Questions. In response to questions from members, the following points were clarified by the Planning Officers: Decisions made at the Planning Committee do not impact on any future decisions. The nearby Coop is currently open. The premises at number 104 was open when the application was submitted. Now the business at number 106 appears to have expanded into number 104. The premises at 110 and 112 are excluded from the Primary Frontage policy. The reasons for the boundaries for the policy are not recorded. The rationale for the policy is set out in the preamble to the Local Plan. It explains that each local centre has different needs and thresholds for the varying uses. Many factors influence the success of business including many nuances: how that particular sector is fairing; customer care; price points etc. The number of vacant premises is low in this primary frontage and indicates that it is relatively healthy.
