RECOMMENDATION – GRANT

Ward Affected: Goldsmid

Erection of 1no three storey house (C3) adjoining existing house. 

1)               The Chair vacated the Chair during consideration of this application and Councillor Gilbey, the Deputy Chair, took the Chair.

Officer Presentation

2)               The Principal Planning Officer introduced the application and gave a presentation with reference to plans, photographs and elevational drawings and explained that the application was for the development of a three storey dwelling on a private road. The appearance of the dwelling would match the existing properties in regards to the design and materials. The boundary line of the garden between the proposed and neighbouring property had been moved to ensure both dwellings had outside space. It was explained that the first and second floor windows would be obscurely glazed to prevent overlooking and harming the neighbours’ amenity.

Questions for Officers

3)               In response to Councillor C. Theobald it was explained that the previously refused application was for an extension rather than a new dwelling.

4)               In response to Councillor Daniel it was noted that the proposed dwelling would have a carport below the terraced area. It was further explained that the development was on a private road and was not adopted highway.

5)               In response to Councillor Gilbey the Development and Transport Assessment Manager explained that if off street parking was preventing access to the carport then this would be for the residents to come to an agreement.

Decision Making Process

6)               The Deputy Chair then put the application to the vote, and the Officer recommendation that the application be granted was carried unanimously.

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

Note:  Councillor Cattell was not present for the consideration and vote of the application.
