Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for the erection of a new 2 storey
dwelling, incorporating rear roof terraces, following the demolition of the
existing property.
The Senior Planner referred to the need for an additional condition to
prevent the flat roof element of the development from being used as an amenity
space.
The Committee received representations in objection to the application
from two local residents.
The representations covered the following issues:
i.
The development would overlook
adjoining properties.
ii.
The scale of the development was
disproportionate to its surroundings.
iii.
There had been 14 objections to
the application.
iv.
This property was the biggest house
on the road and the application proposed to increase the roof height by 10%.
v.
There would be a loss of
residential amenity as the increase in the size of the property to the west
elevation would mean that the occupants of the development would then be able
to look directly into one of the resident’s bedrooms.
vi.
The property would extend further
than the last extension.
vii.
Expressed concerns regarding the
visual impact of the chimney but noted that the Architect had indicated a
revised plan would be submitted.
Mr Orsborn (Applicant’s Agent) addressed the
Committee in support of the application.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 4 votes to 0) to grant the
application for planning permission in accordance with the Officer
recommendation, for the reasons set out in the Officer’s report, subject to the
conditions recommended by the Officer including an additional condition to
prevent use of flat-roofed elements of the development from being used as
amenity space.
