Decision details

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for erection of a dwelling in the rear garden and the creation of a vehicular access onto Gazeley Road.

The Planning Officer updated his report by referring to an amendment to Condition 6 as listed on the amendment sheet.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a local resident.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Did not object to development of the site in principle, but objected to this specific application as it was too big/overbearing.

     ii.          The footprint of the building was acceptable but it was too high. A 2 storey building would be more acceptable.

   iii.          The transition between the height of the proposed building and neighbours’ properties should be treated more sensitively.

   iv.          Referred to the BRE shadow study in the Officer’s report, light levels were only just acceptable.

Mr Anderson (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

The Committee:

Unanimously resolved 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 amendment to Condition 6 as listed on the amendment sheet.
