49/20/PC Planning Applications considered
| Location: | 150 Berrow Road, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, TA8 2PN |
| Proposal: | Approval of the details of appearance, landscaping, layout and scale for the erection of 8 dwellings on site of existing outbuilding (to be demolished). |
| Case Officer: | Shanta Parsons |
| Applicant: | ALMS (Homes) Limited |
Comment: Members maintained their previous objection to the application on the grounds that although the developers had tried to address some of the objections by slightly reducing the ridge heights, ground levels and no side windows to plots 6,7 & 8 and removing the balcony on plot 1 and the position of plot 8, the style and character was still out of keeping with surrounding properties and the height and elevations were still significantly above adjacent properties.
| Location: | 2 Regent Street, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, TA8 1AX |
| Proposal: | Application for the continued use of 4 No. studio flats for self-contained bed-sit accommodation including communal washing machine, dryer and storage areas |
| Case Officer: | Liam Evans |
| Applicant: | Mr Chatwin |
Comment: No observations
| Location: | 190 Berrow Road, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, TA8 2JE |
| Proposal: | Change of use from a single dwelling to a mixed use including 3 rooms for B&B accommodation. |
| Case Officer: | Shanta Parsons |
| Applicant: | Mr Hills |
Comment: Members supported the application on the grounds that the supply of B&B’s are the life blood to any seaside town, aiding to the economic & viability of the town. Members felt that their support was subject to vehicles being able to access and egress the site in a forward gear on the grounds of road safety.
| Location: | 117 Berrow Road, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, TA8 2PH |
