Decision details

Councillor Todd-Jones spoke as a Ward Councillor then withdrew from the discussion.

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for a three storey rear extension.

The Principal Planning Officer referred to two late representations that had been received. One was listed on the amendment sheet, one was received after the amendment sheet had been published. The Principal Planning Officer suggested that Councillors discount the second late representation due to the lateness of its receipt.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from Ms Dudley.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Objected to the application on the grounds of Planning Policies 3/14 and 4/11 (form and materials).

     ii.          Expressed concern that colour/materials were out of context with neighbouring buildings. Took issue with conditions suggested to mitigate this and suggested they would be ineffective.

   iii.          Felt the flat roof would be higher than existing neighbours, which would be detrimental to the character of the terrace and Conservation Area.

Dr Todd (Applicant) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

Councillor Todd-Jones (Ward Councillor for Arbury) addressed the Committee about the application.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Referred to Local Plan Policies 3/14 (extension of existing building) and 4/11 (Conservation Area character).

     ii.          Expressed serious concerns regarding:

·       Impact on residential amenities.

·       Nature of materials and form of the application out of character with the terrace and Conservation Area.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 10 votes to 0 with 2 abstentions) 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.
