Application FUL/2020/3165 - Land at the corner of Queens Road, York Street and Butts PDF 187 KB Report of the Strategic Lead for Planning Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered a report of the Strategic Lead for Planning detailing the above application for redevelopment of the existing car park to provide a new student accommodation building and stopping up of a section of public highway on York Street. The application was recommended for approval subject to conditions and the completion of the S106 legal agreement to secure contributions.
The late representations document tabled at the meeting detailed an amendment to the conditions listed in the report with the removal of Condition 16 requiring monitoring. It was considered that as the southern part of the site was 2.5m below ground and was unlikely to have any surviving archaeology, there would be no requirement for monitoring that part of the site works.
RESOLVED that the grant of planning permission in respect of Application FUL/2020/3165 be delegated to the Strategic Lead for Planning, subject to the conditions listed in the report (Condition 16 to be removed) and the completion of the S106 legal agreement to secure the contributions listed within the report.

Application FUL/2020/0617 - The Old Police Station, 519 Tile Hill Lane PDF 191 KB Report of the Strategic Lead for Planning Additional documents: Minutes: Further to Minute 42/20, the Committee considered a report of the Strategic Lead for Planning which sought approval to a change to the S106 contributions listed within the report, with the removal of the affordable housing contribution requested in respect of Application FUL/2020/0617.
Planning permission was delegated by Planning Committee on 16 July 2020 for the redevelopment of the existing site, a former Police Station, 519 Tile Hill Lane, with the erection of two, three storey buildings and two detached houses; one building containing five, one bedroom flats and one building containing six, two bedroomed flats and two, two bedroomed dwelling houses; subject to the conditions listed in the report and the completion of the S106 legal agreement to secure the contributions listed within the report.
At that meeting, it was reported that the site would attract an affordable housing contribution due to Paragraph 64 of the NPPF. However, Policy H6 of the Coventry Local Plan (CLP) states new residential schemes of 25 dwellings or more, or more than 1ha, would be expected to provide 25% of all dwellings as affordable homes.
As the site in question, is less than one hectare and there are fewer than 25 units, the 25% affordable housing was not required in accordance with Policy H6 of the CLP. Consequently, the requirement of the affordable housing element listed under the S106 agreement would have to be removed.
RESOLVED that, further to the recommendations approved on 16 July, 2020, the Committee approves the removal of the affordable housing contribution. |

Urgent Item of Private Business: Enforcement Issue Minutes: The Committee considered whether or not, the City Council as local planning authority should issue a Temporary Stop Notice on the developers operating at the Tamworth Road site in respect of the breach of conditions by the repeated failure to prevent debris and soil from dirtying the roads in the area resulting in highway safety and community concerns.
This was in accordance with the Constitution which required that all planning enforcement prosecutions be authorised by Planning Committee.
RESOLVED that Planning Committee approves the issuing of a Temporary Stop Notice on the developers operating at the Tamworth Road site.
(Note: This item was taken as an urgent item of private business to expedite the issuing of the Temporary Stop Notice to stop any further works on site until the matter has been rectified.)
