The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for a two
storey side/rear extension to house and change of use of open amenity area to
residential garden
The Committee received a representation in
objection to the application from a local resident.
The representation covered the following concerns:
i.
Conversion of public amenity land
to a private enclosed garden.
ii.
The loss of trees/green space would
impact on the character of the area and neighbour’s amenities.
iii.
Density/design of site is more
urban than suburban.
iv.
Overbearing/overshadowing would
impact on neighbour’s outlook.
v.
The design broke covenants
affecting neighbouring properties.
Mr Grange (Applicant) addressed the Committee in support of the
application.
Councillor Holland proposed an amendment to the Officer’s recommendation
to include an informative requesting the Applicant consider using a soft boundary treatment such
as hedges when applying to discharge condition 5 (boundary treatment).
This amendment was carried unanimously.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 7 votes to 1) to grant the
application for planning permission in accordance with the officer
recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to
the conditions recommended by the officers, plus the additional amendment.
