The Committee received a Section 73 application to vary a condition of
permission to application 17/0675/FUL.
The application sought approval to vary condition 2 (approved drawings) of permission 17/0675/FUL (demolition of
existing garages and erection of three 2bed dwellings with associated
landscaping and access arrangements) to permit increase of building height due
to site conditions.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a local resident.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Referred to objections on the
public file.
ii.
Expressed concern that the
original application had been given planning permission as this set a new
precedent for heights of developments in the area as it was higher than
neighbouring properties.
iii.
The S73 application had been made
after neighbours complained that 17/0675/FUL was not being built according to permission
given.
iv.
Queried why the Building Control Department had not realised
the property was being built to a higher level than expected and taken
enforcement action such as requiring the roof be redesigned to reduce the
building height.
v.
Queried why the building was put on a higher level instead of
removing some of the earth before foundations were put in, as neighbours had
done.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 8 votes to 1) to grant the Section 73 application 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.
