Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for a two storey side/rear extension following demolition of conservatory, proposed new entrance porch and new enclosure to passage around garage.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from Mr Rix.

The representation covered the following issues:

     i.        A previous application had been rejected due to loss of light.

    ii.        If permitted, would result in number 15 looking out onto a blank wall.

   iii.        Proposed extension would be very close to the boundary and should be set further back.

  iv.        The building already dominates and this would make the situation worse.

   v.        Already limited access to sunlight and daylight would be further restricted.

  vi.        Winter daylight would be lost.

 vii.        House would be darker.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 6 votes to 0) 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.
