Minutes:
The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for a first-floor
extension to an existing bungalow to create 2no flats and a duplex dwelling
with associated parking.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a local resident as follows:
i.
Development would have a negative impact on the
area.
ii.
Would be part of a wider intensification of the
area.
iii.
Community feel was being lost.
iv.
Previous family orientated area was become a
dormitory area.
v.
Transient nature of newer residents problematic for
cohesion of area.
vi.
Would result in overlooking.
vii.
Neighbours would lose morning sunlight to
properties and evening light to patio.
viii.
Proposed boundary treatment inadequate.
ix.
Privacy fencing/screening needed.
x.
Parking information appears to be based on an out
of date survey.
xi.
Concerned about the loss of biodiversity.
Councillor Bird
(East Chesterton Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee about the application:
i.
Shares concerns about the loss of sunlight for
neighbours.
ii.
Proposed build line is close to the boundary of the
site.
iii.
Additional parking in the area would be dangerous.
iv.
Design was out of character with the area.
v.
Additional traffic in the area would be
problematic.
vi.
Unacceptable impact on number 8 and number 4.
The Committee
suggested that additional conditions regarding, biodiversity, the boundary
fence treatment and the allocation of one of the parking spaces to the ground
floor flat were needed.

c) Privacy
fence to be completed before any other work on site; and
iii.
an informative included on the
planning permission:

building be a new build, not an extension, further planning permission would be
needed.
