i.                Objected to the application.

a.    It was not in-keeping with the streetscape.

ii.               Referred to objectors’ comments:

a.    Design out of character with the area.

b.    The impact on a listed building across the street from the application.

Councillor Porrer proposed an amendment to the Officer’s recommendation to include an informative advocating that pipes should be installed which would be capable with a view to future proof them for an alternative use.
