YAPTON PARISH COUNCIL

PLANNING COMMITTEE

5 August 2005 - At a meeting of the Planning Committee held in Yapton.

Present: Mr Faulkner (Chairman), Mr Andrews, Mrs Barnes, Mr Fellows and Mr Jones.

PLANNING APPLICATIONS FOR YAPTON

The Planning Committee had before them and considered the following planning application(s)

and resolved as indicated:-

Y/54/05/

1 no. two bedroom dwelling.

Rosemead Bilsham Road Yapton OBSERVATIONS

Resolved – That the restoration of the present visual imbalance which the proposed extension would achieve is commendable. If the finish on the outside of the proposed and existing building were returned to brick to match the adjoining property this would make the restoration complete.

The adjacent Bilsham Road has a steady flow of traffic and regular bus service. As there are no additional parking facilities proposed there are concerns that this will lead to on street parking by the future occupants of the extended property which will obstruct the free movement of traffic and cause congestion when traffic levels are high. This would also be a safety hazard for adjacent householders due to the poor sighting such a situation would create when they wish to make vehicle movements.
