Decision details

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The Case Officer highlighted the following minor correction to Condition 6 of the officer’s report (deletion struck through):

The rooflight above the sleeping platform on the western roof slope  shall be obscure glazed to a minimum level of obscurity to conform

to Pilkington Glass level 3 or equivalent prior to commencement of

use (of the extension) and shall be fixed shut, and shall be  retained as such thereafter.

The application sought approval for the conversion of redundant vehicle workshop into 1 no single bed dwelling.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from Dr Wei Sun.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          As the driveway was a right of way, occupants could not park a car along it as it would block the rear gardens of the houses on Victoria Road.

     ii.          Concern over access for emergency vehicles.

Mr Sewell addressed the Committee in support of the application.

The Committee:

Resolved (unanimously) to grant the application for planning permission in accordance with the officer recommendation, subject to amendment of condition 6 to remove ‘(of the extension)’ and completion of s106 Agreement by 31 January 2013, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to the conditions recommended by the officers.
