RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

Erection of roof extension to from four 2no bedroom flats with balustraded terrace gardens, cycle store and associated works.

1)               The Principal Planning Officer introduced the application and gave a presentation by reference to plans, photographs and elevational drawings, the site related to four purpose built blocks of flats, and sought permission for a roof extension to provide 4 two-bedroom flats. The scheme was considered acceptable in terms scale, height and details and it would not have any adverse impact on the nearby conservation area. The application was recommended for approval for the reasons set out in the report.

2)               In response to Councillor C. Theobald it was confirmed that none of the other permissions on other blocks on the site had been implemented.

3)               The Chair then put the application to the vote, and the Officer recommendation was carried with 10 in support and 1 abstention.

121.7    RESOLVED – That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation, and resolves to GRANT permission for the reasons set out in the report.
