Agenda item

The application sought Full Planning Permission for the erection of 48 dwellings together with creation of access, car parking and open space. The proposed development was Policy Compliant in respect of Affordable Housing and noted a Fully Affordable Housing Development which would deliver a mix of market housing of Shared Ownership and Affordable Rented.

Officers presented the application for a housing development on the site of the former Grange Park Primary School. Members were informed that the old school building had been demolished and the site levelled. Previous permission had been granted for 37 dwellings on the site, this application was seeking permission for 48 together with the creation of access, car parking, open space, and associated works. Vehicular access would be subject to improvements. There would be 88 car parking spaces, this would exceed parking standards of 82.

Objections had been received from Stirchley and Brookside Parish Council and a limited number of representations from people in the area. There were no technical objections to the plans.

Members commented on the positive nature of the development.
