Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for a part two storey, part single storey rear and side extension and a roof extension incorporating rear dormer.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of Birdwood Road.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          There had been various applications to develop 45 Birdwood Road opposite her, which lead to concerns regarding loss of light and privacy.

     ii.          This application (41 Birdwood Road) would raise similar concerns. Also:

·       Out of character with the area.

·       Dominant.

·       Loss of amenity.

   iii.          The ground floor element of the rear extension extends 6m from the rear wall. Neighbours’ properties were limited to 3m, which was inconsistent.

Mr Bautin (Applicant) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

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.
