RECOMMENDATION –Grant
Ward Affected: Rottingdean Coastal
Minutes:
Planning permission sought for the erection of a front extension incorporating alterations to the fenestration including the installation of Juliet balconies. In addition permission sought for the conversion of the existing garage into ancillary accommodation with external alterations and rear extension.
(1) The Planning Manager, Major Applications, Paul Vidler gave a presentation by reference to photographs of the existing building plans, and elevational drawings showing the existing and proposed development. The application related to a two storey terraced property situated on the northern side of Roedean Terrace. The existing property featured a detached garage within the front garden area, similar to those associated with a number of properties within the terrace. The property also had a half width extension of a similar character to that of neighbouring properties.
(2) The main considerations in determining this application related to the visual impact of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host property and wider street scene. Also, any impact to the amenities of neighbouring properties. It was considered that the proposed extensions would not harm the appearance of the property, the wider area or the amenities of adjacent occupiers and accorded with development plan policies, approval as therefore recommended.
Questions for Officers
(3) Councillor Miller enquired sought confirmation that the ancillary building would be used subsidiary to the main building and could not operate as a separate self-contained unit. It was confirmed that was so and that any change to that would require further planning permission to be sought.
(4) Councillor Wealls expressed concern that the proposed extension would obscure an existing side facing window to the neighbouring property. It was explained, however that the window to which Councillor Wealls was referring was obscurely glazed and set at high level facing the porch of that building which was also served by two large windows set adjacent to the window to which Councillor Wealls was referring.
(5) In answer to questions by Councillor C Theobald it was confirmed that following the completion of the proposed development there would be sufficient space for a vehicle to continue to be parked within the curtilage of the property.
(6) Members then moved directly to the vote. A vote was taken and on a vote of 11 to 1 planning permission was granted in line with the recommendations set out in the officer report.
178.6 RESOLVED - That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in section 11 of the report and the policies and guidance in section 7 and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives set out in section 11 and the amendment to Condition 2 set out below:
Condition 2: To be amended to read:
The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the approved drawings listed below;
Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
