Minutes:
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 roof extension incorporating rear dormer.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
on behalf of a resident of Birdwood Road.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
A similar application for a nearby property had
been restricted by this committee.
ii.
Although, each application is considered on its
merit but this produces inconsistent decisions.
iii.
Development would result in a massive, featureless
wall in front of the kitchen window.
iv.
Loss of light.
v.
Report contains errors regarding the angle of
shadow from the proposed new roof.
vi.
Would result in overshadowing and overlooking.
Mr Bautin, the applicant, addressed the
Committee in support of the application.
Councillor Hipkin
proposed deferring the application to allow a site visit to be carried out.
Councillor Tunnacliffe seconded the proposal.
The proposition was lost by 5 votes to 2.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 6 votes to 1) 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.
