The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for a roof extension to include rear and side roof dormers including a Juliet balcony and two roof lights.

The Planner updated her report by referring to the amendment sheet. Additional neighbour comments were received from No.79 Barton Road after the Officer’s committee report was completed.

The Committee Manager read a statement on behalf of the Applicant’s Agent to the Committee in support of the application.

Councillor Thornburrow proposed an amendment to the Officer’s recommendation to include an informative that additional rainwater should not be directed towards the neighbouring roof.

This amendment was carried unanimously.

Councillor Thornburrow queried details shown in the plans circulated to committee. Two versions were available. The Planner asked for delegated powers to show the correct chimney details on the rear elevation.

Councillor McQueen asked for the minutes to note her concerns regarding sustainability of the site. The Chair said planning applications could be submitted at the owner’s discretion.

The Committee:

Resolved (by 4 votes to 1) 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:

      i.          the planning conditions set out in the Officer’s report;

     ii.          delegated authority to officers, in consultation with the Chair, Vice Chair and Spokes, to draft and include:

a.     an additional informative that additional rainwater should not be directed towards the neighbouring roof;

b.    revised plans detailing the chimney correctly (approval was dependent on this).
