Agenda item

The Moorside Hotel, Todd Hill Farm Road, Moorside, Consett

The Committee considered a report of the Senior Planning Officer for the erection of 12 houses with associated parking and landscaping (revised and resubmitted) at The Moorside Hotel, Todd Hill farm Road, Moorside, Consett (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Chair noted that unfortunately due to adverse weather conditions Mr Kavanagh, the applicant’s agent was unable to be in attendance to answer any questions the committee may have.

Councillor Shield commented that the site had been in a derelict state for some time and considered the proposals to be a welcomed improvement to the area. In addition he noted that the land was classified as brownfield and the local member Councillor Hicks, was in full support of the proposals.

Councillor Temple asked for some clarification regarding access to driveways and garage provision on site. The Senior Planning Officer advised that all 4 bed properties had a garage next to the property. All other properties had an allocated space either in front of the dwelling off the main road, or in the hammerhead section within the estate.

Councillor Shield MOVED that the application be approved subject to the conditions listed within the report. Councillor Temple SECONDED the proposal.

Resolved:

That the application be approved subject to the conditions listed within the report.
