REFUSED

Description of application – Part one/two storey side and rear and single storey front extensions, roof alterations to incorporate rear dormers and elevational alterations.

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received at the meeting.  Members wished to record that their local knowledge of the character of the area was relevant to this planning application.

It was reported that there were two different side space measurements referred to in the Chief Planner’s report based on earlier drawings and that the updated measurement was 1.16 metres.  Ward Member, Councillor Julian Grainger, stated that he was acquainted with the objector, being a resident of the area, but that he had had no communication with him since a Jubilee Party celebration in 2012.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED for the following reason:-

1.  The proposed development would, by reason of the inadequate side space to be provided in an area where higher spatial standards are considered to exist, result in a retrograde lowering of spatial standards detrimental to the established character of the area, contrary to Policies BE1 and H9 of the Unitary Development Plan.
