https://democracy.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/mgCommitteeDetails.aspx?ID=614

Summary of speaking arrangements as follows:

Speaking at Planning Committee (in person or virtually):

·       There will be a maximum combined time of five minutes to speak in objection and up to two persons may speak within the five minutes.

·       There will be a further maximum combined time of five minutes to speak in support and up to two persons may speak within the five minutes.

·       No speaker may speak for more than half this time (two and a half minutes) UNLESS there are no other requests to speak received by the deadline OR it is with the agreement of the other speaker.

Anyone who has registered to speak by the deadline may, as an alternative to speaking/for use in default, submit a written statement to be read out on their behalf. This must be provided to Democratic Services by 10.00am of the working day before the meeting, must not exceed 450 words and will be treated as amounting to two and a half minutes of speaking time.

Please refer to the full Protocol document for further guidance.

Note: The public speaking procedure is separate from and is not intended to replicate or replace the procedure for submitting a written representation on a planning application to the Planning Offices during the consultation period.

There were a number of requests to speak on planning applications as detailed below.

To consider the planning applications as listed below.

See planning application reports circulated with the agenda, as updated by the agenda addendum sheet to be published one working day before the meeting.

Councillors are requested where possible to submit any technical questions on planning applications to the Case Officer at least 48 hours before the meeting to ensure this information can be provided at the meeting.

The running order in which planning applications will be considered will be as listed on this agenda sheet.

The Chair retains discretion to propose an amendment to the running order at the meeting if it is considered expedient to do so.

Members will appreciate that the copy drawings attached to planning application reports are reduced from the applicants’ original and detail, in some cases, may be difficult to read. To search for planning applications, please use the following link:

v  None registered

RESOLVED to REFUSE permission contrary to recommendation set out in the officer’s report with power delegated to the Head of Planning Operations in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair to determine the final wording of the following reasons for refusal:

• The proposed separation and increased height bulk and massing would result in a relationship that would result in a harmful tandem arrangement that would appear overbearing and cramped, resulting in adverse harm to character.
• The proposal due to its increase in height, bulk, scale and its relationship to the surrounding residential properties, notably 5a, 3, 3a, 7 and Seashores in Chaddesley Wood Road and 26 Shore Road would result in an arrangement that would result in harm to residential amenity by way of overbearing, impact and loss of light.

Contrary to Policy PP27 of the Poole Local Plan (Adopted November 2018)

Voting: Unanimous

Note: As clarified in the Committee Addendum dated 4.2.26, it was noted that the councillor who had called in the application was Cllr Gavin Wright, not Cllr John Challinor.
