Planning Application No. 18/0884/ECC - Garages between 28 and 36 Anthony Road, Exeter

To consider the report of the City Development Manager.

 

Minutes:

The City Development Manager presented the application for the demolition of 13 no. garages and construction of three, three bed terraced houses and associated parking and access.

 

The garages were City Council owned and he confirmed that notice to quit had been given to those who were renting, although it was believed that most garages were being used for storage purposes. The car parking provision was consistent with Council policy. He also advised that a condition prevented construction on Sundays and Bank Holidays. Some Members expressed their concern that the properties would not be available to rent but would be sold on the open market. It was however noted that the threshold for requiring affordable housing was ten and other Members also remarked that Government policy restricted the ability of Council’s to build homes for rent. It was noted that residents’ parking permits would not be available.

 

The recommendation was for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.
