Members had visited the site on the previous day.
The Officer stated that the application description had been amended to cover alterations to the outbuilding, clarified that the proposal was only retrospective in relation to the access and outbuilding alterations, that the Enforcement Notice served regarding the alleged change of use from a C3 dwelling to a C2 Care Home was in the process of being withdrawn and that the site lay within Bradfield Parish. He also reported that Sheffield City Council Highways Department had no objection to the proposals and as the Council had not suggested any conditions he proposed conditions covering the following: C2 Use to use new access only, tarmacadam from highway to access gates, drainage, setting back gates 5m and maintenance of visibility splays. He then reported that a further representation had been received from Knight Frank on behalf of the residents of Hollow Meadows Mews, which reiterated points already set out in the report and stated that they had sole ownership of the access shared with The Lodge.
The following made representations to the Committee under the Authority’s Public Participation Scheme:
· Ms Megan Wilmot, Objector, on behalf of the Residents of Hollow Meadows Mews
· Mr Cancello, representing the Applicant
Mr John Hunt, Agent, was present to answer Members’ questions if required.
The recommendation was moved and seconded. However, Members saw no need to relocate the driveway and proposed that condition 3 be omitted and that condition 4 be amended by adding the words “to the East of the drive” after the word “hedge” and omitting the rest of the sentence after the word “Lodge”. Also the word “new” was omitted from Condition 8.
The motion as amended was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.
