The Committee received an application for
full planning permission.
The application sought approval for a part
two storey, part single storey rear and side extension and a roof extension
incorporating rear dormer.
The Committee received a representation in
objection to the application from a resident of Birdwood
Road.
The representation covered the following issues:
i.
There had been various
applications to develop 45 Birdwood Road opposite
her, which lead to concerns regarding loss of light and privacy.
ii.
This application (41 Birdwood Road) would raise similar concerns. Also:
·
Out of character with the area.
·
Dominant.
·
Loss of amenity.
iii.
The ground floor element of the
rear extension extends 6m from the rear wall. Neighbours’ properties were
limited to 3m, which was inconsistent.
Mr Bautin (Applicant) addressed the Committee
in support of the application.
The Committee:
Resolved (by 5 votes to 2) to grant the
application for planning permission in accordance with the officer
recommendation, for the reasons set out in the officer report, and subject to
the conditions recommended by the officers.
