The Committee
received an application for full planning permission for the erection of single
storey timber shed/store, replacement doors and windows and internal
alterations installation of woodburner and external
flue.
The Committee received
a representation in objection to the application from Ms Pickerill.
The representation
covered the following points:
i.
Loss of storage space for other
tenants of the property.
ii.
Currently occupies a small studio flat and has been
using the shared space for 20 years.
iii.
Has had no consultation from the landlord regarding
the proposal.
iv.
Would suffer from the fumes of the proposed woodburner.
v.
Extraction fan exit would also cause problems.
The Planning Officer confirmed that loss of storage space was a civil
matter and not a planning consideration. He confirmed that the woodburner might be removed from the plan.
Councillor Smart expressed concern that the plans might be amended and
that there appeared to have been a lack of consultation.
Councillor Smart proposed
an amendment to the Officer’s recommendation that the application be deferred
to allow appropriate consultation and consideration of a non-material amendment
regarding the wood burner. Councillor Owers seconded
the amendment.
This amendment was carried
unanimously.
The Committee:
Resolved (unanimously) to defer the
application for planning permission.
