Issue - meetings

The Committee received an application for a hip to gable roof extension with rear box dormer and juliet balcony, single storey side and rear extension. Subdivision of house to form 2 flats.

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

The representations covered the following issues:

     i.        There is an adequate supply of flats in the city.

    ii.        Noise transference from proposed living room to neighbour’s bedroom.

   iii.        Inappropriate roof extension.

  iv.        Need to preserve semi-detached homes.

   v.        Smaller gardens, lack of amenity and bio-diversity.

  vi.        Overbearing nature of the extension.

The Committee requested that an Informative be added to address the objector’s referred noise transference. The officers would consider whether it was possible to draft an appropriate Informative.

The Committee:

Unanimously resolved to grant the application for planning permission in accordance with the Officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the Officer’s report, and subject to the conditions recommended by the Officer including an Informative as referred to above.
