The Housing Strategy Officer had advised that the type of accommodation proposed would contribute to the local housing need. The Asset Manager had advised that an easement would be required to enable access to the private car parking. The Environmental Health Manager had recommended that appropriate conditions as detailed in the report be attached to the application.
