Planning Application PA/340929/17 318 Oldham Road Royton OL2 5AS PDF 487 KB Change of use from office to 9 bed HMO (sui
generis) Minutes: APPLICATION NUMBER: PA/340929/17
APPLICANT: Hunter Capital
PROPOSAL: Change of use from office to 9 bed HMO (sui generis)
LOCATION: 318 Oldham Road, Royton, OL2 5AS
It was MOVED by Councillor Bashforth and SECONDED by Councillor Hewitt that the application be REFUSED (against Officer recommendations).
On being put to the vote 8 VOTES were cast IN FAVOUR OF REFUSAL and 6 VOTES were cast AGAINST with 0 ABSTENTIONS.
DECISION: That the application be minded to REFUSED contrary to officers’ recommendation for the following reason:
The proposed development would result in the loss of an office use. DPD Policy 14 promotes the retention of employment generating uses within established premises, unless it is clearly demonstrated that it is no longer appropriate or viable to continue the existing use. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that it is no longer appropriate or viable to continue the premises being used for business use. In addition, the applicant has failed to provide any mitigation measures which would outweigh the loss of the site and support Oldham’s economy. As such, the development is contrary to DPD Policy 14 of the Oldham Local Development Framework Development Plan Document - Joint Core Strategy and Development Management Policies.
NOTES:
That an Objector and the Applicant attended the meeting and addressed the Committee on this application.
