Minutes:
Councillor Green withdrew from the meeting for this item and did not participate
in the discussion, the decision making nor did she
vote.
The Committee received a Section 73
application for variation of condition 2 (approved plans) of planning application
18/1058/FUL.
The Principal Planner updated his report by stating condition 1 should
refer to condition 30 not 40.
The Committee received a representation in objection to the application
from a resident of North Cottages:
i.
In the course of the ongoing dispute regarding the width of
the right of way, the Police have required undertakings from both the developer
and me (the resident) that there will be no activity on the building site until
the legal issues regarding the right of way to which neighbours are entitled
have been resolved. Until that resolution has been achieved to the satisfaction
of both parties any discussion of this Section 73 Notice is premature, if not
irrelevant.
ii.
The original planning application was approved with a
condition that the only window on the south elevation was to be of limited
size, of obscured glass, as a bathroom window. It had been the concern of the
owner of the house opposite the proposed development that any further windows
would allow the invasion of her privacy.
iii.
The Objector caught the Developer taking photographs from his
building site of that neighbour. Allowing him to use today's Section 73
variation to add a further window or windows on that South elevation Would
enable him or others to intrude even more on to her privacy, the very thing the
original condition was intended to prevent. If you decide to approve further
windows, I suggest that that they be of obscured glass, with no opening lights.
Councillor Porrer
proposed an amendment to the Officer’s recommendation that a 1.1m obscure glazing strip be used on the balcony
(front of house, second floor).
This amendment was carried
(by 6 votes to 1).
The Committee:
Resolved (by 5 votes to 2) to grant the Section 73 application in accordance with
the Officer recommendation, for the reasons set out in the Officer’s report,
subject to:
i.
the planning conditions set out in
the Officer’s report;
ii.
condition 1 wording be amended as above;
iii.
delegated authority to officers, in consultation
with the Chair, Vice Chair and Spokes, to draft and include an additional condition relating toa 1.1m obscure glazing strip to be used on the balconywith Chair, Vice
Chair and Spokes to be consulted on details regarding the glazing.
