The Committee received an application for full planning permission.

The application sought approval for the erection of two 2-bed affordable houses, associated landscaping, parking spaces and rear gardens.

The Committee received a representation in objection to the application from a local resident.

The representation covered the following concerns:

   iii.          Overbearing and sense of enclosure.

   iv.          Loss of light.

    v.          Accuracy of shadow studies.

   ix.          Ownership of land.

The Committee:

Unanimously resolved 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 plus and the alteration to condition 11 listed on the amendment sheet.
