The Committee
received an S73 application.
The application
sought approval to vary condition 2 of planning permission14/1228/FUL to
approve drawing number 15/1189/PL.01 Rev A - to permit dormer windows to front
and rear and a half hip to the new roof.
Mr Smyth (Applicant) addressed the Committee in support of the
application.
Councillor Sarris (East Chesterton Ward Councillor) addressed the Committee
about the application.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
The Applicant was in a difficult situation.
Building work had been affected by structural difficulties that were not
spotted in old plans. He was trying to accommodate his neighbour’s concerns in
the current application.
ii.
Amendments to aesthetics (changed from previous
applications) should be acceptable. The design was similar to those given
permission in neighbouring streets.
iii.
There was no objection on aesthetic grounds from
neighbours, although this was the recommended reason for refusal from the
Officer.
iv.
Asked the Committee to show flexibility. Building work
was on hold whilst S73 permission was being sought, so the structure was open
to the elements.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 6 votes to 1) to reject the
officer recommendation to refuse the application.
Resolved (unanimously) to approve the application contrary to the officer
recommendation. The application is for variation of condition therefore other
conditions remain relevant.
