Moved by Councillor Walsh, Seconded by Councillor Maginness, and
Resolved – That the Committee agrees to reject the recommendation of the Divisional Planning Manager to approve the above-mentioned application at 64 Andersonstown Road on the grounds that the proposed development would, if permitted, result in the over-intensification of the use of the site.
On a vote by show of hands, six Members voted for the proposal and six against. As there was an equality of votes, the Chairman exercised his second and casting vote in favour of the proposal and it was accordingly declared carried.

AT ITS MEETING ON MONDAY, 1st NOVEMBER, 1973
Planning Applications
Planning Applications Deferred by Members of Council
A Member expressed concern in relation to the large number of planning applications which were deferred at each meeting and he suggested that, with regard to the deferment by Members of planning applications, it would assist the Committee in dealing with applications in an expeditious manner if procedures in this respect were formalised.
The Members' Support Officer stated that, it might prove beneficial if the date on which an application was deferred was recorded on the Schedule of Planning Applications. This would enable the Committee to determine with ease the length of time an application had been deferred. However, he added that it would be appropriate to seek the agreement of the Planning Service in this regard since the Schedule of Planning Applications was compiled by the Planning Service.
The Principal Planning Officer stated that, it should be possible to record the information required on the Schedule of Applications and agreed to refer the matter to the Planning Service for consideration.
The Committee noted the comments of the Principal Planning Officer and agreed that any Member requesting a deferment of an application should detail their reasons for making the request, either directly to the Committee or by informing the Committee Administrator, prior to the meeting.

The proposal is contrary to Policy QD1 of the Departments' Planning Policy Statement 7: Quality Residential Environments and associated guidance in that the development would, if permitted, cause unacceptable damage to the local character and residential amenity by reason of overdevelopment resulting in a development which fails to respect the surrounding context and characteristics of the site in terms of layout, scale, form, massing and design and fails to provide adequate and appropriate private amenity space for prospective residents.

The proposal is contrary to the Department's Planning Policy Statement 2: Planning and Nature Conservation, Planning Policy Statement 6: Planning Archaeology and the Built Heritage, Planning Policy Statement 7: Quality Residential Environments and associated guidance in that it would harm the character and appearance of the Malone Conservation Area as the site is too restricted and would necessitate a development of design and dimensions that would be out of character in the locality, and the location of the plot forward of the building line would result in visual intrusiveness. The development would harm and result in the loss of trees on the site which are visually significant to the site and the area

The proposal would, if permitted, harm the character of the streetscape through inappropriate scale, form and design.
