As the chair was not present it was agreed that the vice chair should chair the meeting.
Minutes: SC had offered apologies which had not been recorded. The minutes of the meeting on 25th August 2015 were then approved and signed by the Vice Chair. Proposed by CS and seconded by SC, all in favour.
Matters arising:
15/02078/FUL Ways End, Lower Park Street - Redevelopment of redundant electricity transformer
Resolved : Objection.
· Previous objections stand i.e. lack of parking, no amenity space, no dimensions on drawings, flawed public transport statement.
· It was thought that the bins were unlikely to be stored adjacent to the front door and it was likely that they would end up on the street and would be visually prominent.
· The headings on the drawings are wrong.
· Existing Cotswold stone walling will be lost by the inclusion of windows on the ground floor.
Proposed SC, Seconded MM All in favour
1. Applications
15/02976/FUL Flat 1, Mascot House, Digbeth Street – Replace existing windows.
Resolved: The council would like to have the windows replaced like for like in wood rather than UPVC proposed as the building is in the Conservation Area and adjacent to a listed building. Ideally the windows at the back of the property should match those at the front.
