The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for a ground floor extension to the side
and rear.
The Committee noted the amendment sheet.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a local resident.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Stated that the proposal was
overbearing but the excessive height could be overcome by using alternative
materials.
ii.
Confirmed that the owners of the neighbouring
property had indicated that if this application was successful, they too would
consider building a similar extension. Highlighted how it would set a precedent
for the area which needed to be considered.
iii.
Many plants, shrubs and an apple
tree would be damaged or lost due to the building work.
Helene Kotter (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of
the application.
Councillor Cantrill
(Newnham Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee about the application.
i.
Recognised the changes made by the applicant to
address the issues previously raised about the proposal being overbearing.
ii.
Stated that the changes alleviated the impact on
neighbouring property number 9 but it did not address the issues for the other
neighbouring property, number 13. As such, he was still not sufficiently happy
to approve 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.
