Trinity Ward 7th - 27th November 2019 Application SCTC Number Site Address Development Description Recommendation 2 Somerville Drive Erection of two storey rear 2019/09671/PA Sutton Coldfield B73 No Objection and front extension 6JB Page | 5 Planning and Highways Minutes | Tuesday 3rd December 2019 Whilst Committee understands that the re-development of this site for residential purposes Land to the rear of 2 - 8 Erection of four storey close to the town High Street Sutton building to provide 9 no. 2019/08292/PA centre generally Coldfield Birmingham apartments and associated accords with the B72 1SH parking and infrastructure adopted planning policies, Members object to this application on the following grounds: The scale and mass represent overdevelopment of the site. Whilst design solutions are claimed to have been incorporated to reduce the impact of any overlooking, Committee notes that the separation distances between the new building and Tudor Court are well below those normally applied. Committee are concerned that the development will have an overbearing impact upon residents of Tudor Court which would be detrimental to their residential amenity. Committee feel that the proposal is out of keeping with the current area in terms of sheer mass of the building and particularly the proposal of a flat roof Members are concerned that both in terms of quantum and functionality the four car parking spaces proposed are inadequate to meet the needs for nine apartments and visitors to the site. Also, manoeuvring directly onto Midland Drive could cause difficulties given the lack of any on site turning facility. There are concerns over the application description 'Erection of four storey building' whilst the site plans show this to be a five-story building. Committee request further clarification on this.
