Supporting documentation was received from the applicant prior to the meeting and circulated to Members.  Further objections were received and also circulated.

Committee Member and Ward Member Councillor Fawthrop, delivered a statement in objection to the application.  In particular, he drew Members’ attention to the description for the Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character.  A full copy of the statement and description can be viewed as Annexes A and C to these Minutes.

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

1  The proposal due to the impact of the forward projection of the side extension due to its design and prominence would have an unacceptable impact upon the character and appearance of the Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character (ASRC) and would be contrary to Policies BE1, H8 and H10 of the Unitary Development Plan (2006) and Draft Policies 37, 4 and 44 of the Draft Local Plan.
