Applications without a Petition

Land at HPH2, HPH5, and Multistorey Car Park, Pinkwell

A significant item on the agenda was an outline planning permission request for the land at HPH2, HPH5, and Multistorey Car Park in Pinkwell. This application sought permission for the demolition of existing buildings (above basement level) and the phased delivery of residential development (Class C3). It also included plans for flexible residential/commercial floorspace, new public realm, landscaping, play space, and car and cycle parking. The recommendation for this application was approval.

Land at Avondale Drive, Wood End

The committee was scheduled to consider an application submitted under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990¹ for land at Avondale Drive in Wood End. This application sought to vary several conditions of a previous planning permission (ref. 76551/APP/2021/4502). The variations included changes to approved plans, supporting documents, development scope, unit mix, phasing, residential density, development height, and landscaping. The application also sought hybrid planning permission for outline permission for residential floorspace (Class C3), including demolition of existing buildings, erection of new buildings, new pedestrian and vehicular accesses, amenity space, open space, landscaping, car and cycle parking, and refuse storage. Additionally, it sought full planning permission for Block A, comprising 30 residential units (Class C3), a new pedestrian access, associated amenity space and landscaping, cycle parking, refuse storage, and other associated infrastructure. The proposed variations aimed to increase the number of homes, remove the existing parking court, increase the podium size, revise the height strategy, remove vehicle access, and increase separation distances to create a new public square. The recommendation for this application was approval.

The agenda also indicated that the committee would consider variations to increase the parapet height by 50cm in the Detailed First Phase, join blocks in phases 2 and 3, reduce parking to create green spaces, amend the scale of the street, and relocate a community facility. The recommendation for these variations was also approval.
