Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for a two storey side and front extension, first floor front extension and
single storey front and side extensions.
The Committee noted the amendment sheet and the correction to
conditions.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a local resident.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
Has long term health conditions and had adapted her
property to her needs.
ii.
Currently spends a lot of time in the garden or the
garden room.
iii.
The application would mar the enjoyment of the
garden area.
iv.
Proposed extension would be large and overbearing.
v.
Large tree in her garden would be damaged by the
building.
vi.
Proposed building would be in close proximity to
neighbouring houses.
vii.
Area had flooded in recent years and an additional
building would increase the risk of future floods
Mr Paxton (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the Committee in support of the
application.
Councillor
Robertson (Petersfield Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee about the
application as follows:
i.
Ground level in the area was sloped with the
applicant’s property on a higher elevation than the neighbouring property. This
would increase the feeling on overbearing and dominance.
ii.
Property might not be in a flood zone but the area
had flooded in recent times.
iii.
The large tree would be damaged by the proximity of
the proposed extension and any additional drainage in the area would further
damage the root system.
An additional
condition regarding drainage was proposed.
This amendment was carried
unanimously.
The Interim Arboricultural Officer clarified her comments regarding the
possible impact on the tree and explained how the construction method statement
would be monitored during construction work.
The Committee:
Resolved
(by 8 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 with additional standard
drainage condition to require a surface water drainage scheme and corrections
to condition no. 5 as set out below.
Prior to
occupation of the development, hereby permitted, the 1st floor
windows on the eastern elevation shall be top hung and obscure glazed to a
minimum level of obscurity to conform to Pilkington Glass level 3 or equivalent
and shall have restrictors fitted to ensure that the windows cannot be opened
more than 100mm beyond the plane of the adjacent wall. The glazing shall
thereafter be retained in accordance with the approved details.
