Minutes:

Officers made a presentation to the Planning Committee on this Application (Change of Use from Dwelling (Use Class C3) to House of Multiple Occupation (HMO) (Use Class C4) at 81 Cwrt Sart, Briton Ferry, Neath, SA11 2SR) as detailed in the circulated report.

 

In accordance with the Council’s approved Public Speaking Protocol, a local resident (against the Application) addressed the Planning Committee as well as the Applicant who spoke in favour of their Application. The Local Ward Member had requested that the Application be determined by the Planning Committee, and was also present to give his representations.

 

RESOLVED:

That contrary to the Officers’ recommendations, Application No. P2018/0490 be REFUSED on the following grounds: 

 

Reason:

 

By virtue of the failure to provide off-street car parking within the application site to serve the proposed use, the use would lead to additional on-street and indiscriminate car parking in an already congested area, to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety, contrary to Policy TR2 of the Neath Port Talbot Local Development Plan.
