Minutes:
The Committee
received an application for full planning permission.
The application
sought approval for an attic conversion, including a roof extension with a rear
dormer and a front dormer.
The Planning Officer updated his report by referring to the amendment
sheet and stated paragraph 2.4 should read “Councillor Austin” instead of
Councillor Avery.
Councillor Austin (West Chesterton Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee
about the application.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
There was a lot of local interest
in the application due to the property location in a highly visible spot and
Conservation Area.
ii.
The site was developed all ready.
Queried how much more was reasonable.
iii.
Part of the justification for the recommendation
for approval was that some properties had dormer windows all ready. There were
only 3 dormer windows in the general area and none in close proximity to the
site.
iv.
Dormer windows in the application
would be visible in the public realm and bigger than other dormer windows in
the area.
v.
Queried if the application met
Design Guide criteria and if Conservation Officers had reviewed it.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 5 votes to 2) 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.
