Application for Variation of Condition 1 of application BH2017/01742 (Erection of a single storey rear extension, first floor rear extension & creation of lower ground floor room under existing rear terrace. Roof alterations to include raising ridge height to create additional floor, rear balconies, revised fenestration & associated works. Alterations include new landscaping, widening of existing hardstanding & opening with new front gates) to permit amendments to approved drawings for alterations including removal & relocation of doors to garage and front elevation, removal of external staircase, revised balustrade height and cladding materials.

            Officer Presentation

(1)          The Principal Planning Officer, Stewart Glassar, introduced the application and gave a presentation by reference to elevational drawings, photographs and site plans which highlighted works which had been carried out and differences between the previously approved and proposed schemes. Permission was being sought to vary Condition 1 of BH2017/01742 and related solely to the changes to the drawings to the proposed development and these proposed alterations were part of the officer presentation.

(2)          The overall appearance of the proposal would not be significantly different to that of the approved scheme and the relationship between the proposed dwelling and the neighbouring properties and the wider street scene would be similar to that of the approved scheme. The proposed changes would reduce any impact of the scheme on neighbouring amenity. Overall, alterations made to the originally approved plans were considered to be minor, would not harm the character or appearance of the proposed development, were considered acceptable and approval was therefore recommended.

            Debate and Decision Making Process

(3)          A vote was taken and the 10 Members who were present voted unanimously that planning permission be granted.

58.4       RESOLVED – That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in the report and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives also set out in the report also to include the following amendments:

              Condition 1 to be amended to include:
