Agenda item - BH2013/02074 - 119 Church Road, Hove - Full Planning Permission

Erection of single storey rear extension.

RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

Erection of single storey rear extension.

(1)                   The Area Planning Manager, Nicola Hurley, introduced this application and gave a presentation in relation to application BH2013/02074 for full planning permission and application BH2013/02075 for listed building consent by reference to plans, photographs and elevational drawings. The existing use of the premises was currently a wine bar and restaurant and permission was sought for the construction of a rear extension with a glazed roof; attention was also drawn to matters on the Late List. The main considerations related to the impact on amenity and the impact of the scheme on the listed building. The extension would project 2.5 metres from the rear and be mainly glazing so as not to detract from the historic form of the building or the Conservation Area. It was noted that there had been objection to the opening hours, but these would remain the same as those currently permitted. For the reasons outlined in the reports the applications were recommended for approval.
