Decision details

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for demolition of Bungalow and construction of 2 No 4 bedroomed semi-detached houses, car and cycle parking and landscaping proposals.

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

The representation covered the following concerns:

       i.          Substantial and permanent effect on neighbour’s amenities.

a.    Overbearing, which was an issue of concern in previous applications.

b.    The proposed house would be close to the boundary at the narrowest part of the plot (circa 1m).

     ii.          Loss of privacy for son’s bedroom and living space below through overlooking from Plot 2.

a.    Concern over angled dorma windows as mentioned in previous iterations of the application.

   iii.          Overdevelopment of site, which is out of character with the area.

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

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.
