DEFERRED

Description of application – Demolition of existing conservatory. Erection of part single storey/part two storey front/side extension and elevational alterations.

Oral representations from visiting Ward Member Councillor Simon Fawthrop in support of the application were received at the meeting. Councillor Fawthrop considered this application to be an improvement on the one currently at appeal and informed Members that if approved, the applicant would be willing to withdraw the appeal.  He urged Members to permit the application with conditions to withdraw permitted development rights including HMO and garden PDRs. A full copy of Councillor Fawthrop’s comments can be viewed at Annex A to these Minutes.

The Development Management Area Team Leader (East) reported that further objections to the application and a letter in response to the objections had been received and circulated to Members.

Councillor Onslow reported that Ward Member Councillor Owen had submitted an e-mail with photographs which had been circulated to the Committee. Councillor Owen considered the proposals would result in an over-development of the site. The garage currently being built was under investigation by the Enforcement Team. This application barely differed from previous applications. The spatial effect was cause for concern with the bulk of the development running along the side of the property. Councillor Owen sought a deferral to seek a single storey flat roof extension.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that the application be DEFERRED without prejudice to any future consideration to seek a single storey extension only.
