RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

I                  Remodelling of existing chalet bungalow incorporating erection of single storey rear extension, erection of extension to front at first floor level, extensions and alterations to roof including raising of ridge height and installation of rooflights to facilitate creation of a two storey dwelling house with associated works.

1)               The Principal Planning Officer, Guy Everest, introduced the application and gave a presentation with reference to plans, photographs and elevational drawings. The application site related to detached bungalow in a residential cul-de-sac. The application proposed an additional storey; the building would have a hipped roof, and be rendered at first floor level. The materials would be consistent with those in the close, and an additional floor was considered acceptable. The separation distance from the neighbouring properties and the position of the garage would reduce the impact of the scheme, and there was no harm to neighbouring amenity. For the reasons set out in the report the application was recommended for approval.
