Ward Affected: Withdean

Application for variation of condition 1 of application BH2016/06527 (Creation of roof extension with raised ridge height and rear dormers.) to allow amendments to the approved drawings.

Officer Presentation

1)               The Principal Planning Officer introduced the application and gave a presentation with reference to plans, photographs and elevational drawings and explained that a number of objections had been received; however, these were focussing on the scheme that already had planning permission. The application was for a variation for permission to allow a roof light at the front elevation and two roof lights on the flat roof. It was noted that the Planning Officers had deemed that the proposal would not have a harmful impact on the amenity of the area.

Questions for Officers

2)               In response to Councillor Moonan the Principal Planning Officer noted that the roof light on the front elevation would overlook the road and would not harm the amenity of the neighbouring properties.

3)               In response to Councillor Daniel the Principal Planning Officer confirmed that other neighbouring properties had roof lights so it would not be out of character for the area.

Decision Making Process

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

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