The Committee

The application
sought approval for a single and part two storey rear extension, first floor
side extension. Pitch roof to existing single storey front and side flat roof.
Single storey front extension.
The Committee
received a representation in objection to the application from a local
resident.
The representation
covered the following issues:
i.
Had no objections to the
development in principle.
ii.
Expressed the following concerns
about this specific application:
a.
Scale, finish and appropriateness
of setting.
b.
Disliked design/style and
materials proposed. These would be out of character with the area.
c.
The building had already been
extended and would be made bigger.
d.
Increased vehicular movements.
e.
Impact on residents’ amenities.
f.
The building was flooded in 2001
so developing the site further seemed unwise.
Mr Khan (Applicant) addressed the Committee in support of the
application.
Councillor Gehring (Newnham Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee
about the application.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
The street scene was important in the area.
ii.
The application would be out of proportion with
neighbours.
iii.
Expressed concern about proposed materials.
iv.
Said that work had already started before planning
permission had been granted. Enforcement Officers were investigating.
v.
Approval of this development would set the precedent
for large developments like No. 2 Dane Drive.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 4 votes to 3) 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.
