Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for a rear dormer, two storey side/rear and single storey front extensions.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of Hawthorn Way.

The representation covered the following issues:

       i.          Gave a history of the applications for the site and expressed concern over the planning process.

     ii.          Referred to concerns set out in representations set out in the report eg noise, parking, shared downpipes and loss of light. Residents’ concerns do not appear to have been addressed by the report.

   iii.          Queried the accuracy of the plans.

Mr Khan (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the application.

The Committee suspended this item whilst Members were discussing the proposal so that further information could be sought regarding plans and layout. They returned to the discussion and decision after considering (minute item 16/140/Plan) 171 Hills Road.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 3 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.
