REFUSED AND ENFORCEMENT ACTION AUTHORISED

Description of application – Single storey rear extension and decking PART RETROSPECTIVE.

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.  

The Chairman had visited the site and works to the extension and decking were nearly completed.  The height and depth of the extension impacted on the character of the area and the residential amenities of the occupants of the surrounding properties with the loss of daylight and outlook.  Although Members sympathised with the applicant enforcement action was proposed. 

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED as recommended, for the reason set out in the report of the Chief Planner.  It was FURTHER RESOLVED that ENFORCEMENT ACTION BE AUTHORISED to seek a REDUCTION IN THE HEIGHT OF THE EXTENSION TO 2.5 METRES.
