Erection of two storey rear extension with associated alterations.

RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

Erection of two storey rear extension with associated alterations.

Officer Introduction

1)               The Planning Manager introduced the application and gave a presentation by reference to plans, photographs and elevational drawings. Planning permission was sought for the erection of a two storey rear extension with associated alterations. The extension would involve the enclosure of the voids within the rear garden to create a platform on the ground level for the construction of the centrally aligned extension. The first floor window will be obscure glazed and fixed shut as it services a bathroom. The application was recommended for approval for the reasons set out in the report.

Questions for Officers

2)               The Planning Manager confirmed to Councillor C. Theobald that there would be no significant loss of natural light.

3)               In response to Councillor Morris, it was confirmed that the ground floor window and the skylight would not be conditioned to use obscurely glazed glass as there would be no overlooking from these windows.

Debate and Decision Making

4)               A vote was taken by the 11 Members present and the Officer recommendation that the Committee grant planning permission was carried unanimously.

18.9       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.

Note: Councillor Hyde was not present for the consideration and vote on the application.
