PERMISSION

Description of application – Demolition of existing garage and construction of a single storey side/rear extension and part front garage extension with new pitched roof to form front porch canopy. Alterations to existing patio with new access steps and retaining wall.

A motion to refuse the application fell following a casting vote by the Chairman who advised that other properties within the ASRC had erected the same type of large extension and it was unlikely the Council would win should the application go to appeal.

Members having considered the report, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE GRANTED as recommended, subject to the conditions set out in the report together with any other planning conditions considered necessary by the Assistant Director, Planning.

The following conditions were added:-
