Issue - meetings

The Committee received a Section 73 application to vary condition 2 (approved plans) of planning permission 19/1250/S73 to permit changes including changes to the car port, plant room, roof profile and windows.

The Planner updated her report by referring to updated condition wording in her presentation.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a resident of Woodlark Road expressing the following concerns:

      i.          The design was out of context with the area.

     ii.          Impact on amenity space.

   iii.          Overlooking of neighbours.

   iv.          Boundary wall height was extended without his knowledge or wishes.

    v.          Objected to looking out at solar panels.

Dr Wilson (Applicant) addressed the Committee in support of the application.
