Decision:

PRIOR APPROVAL NOT GRANTED

Minutes:

Description of application – Single storey rear extension, extending beyond the rear wall of the original house by 6.00m, for which the maximum height would be 3.50m, and for which the height of the eaves would be 2.42m (42 Day Notification for Householder Permitted Development Prior Approval).

 

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

 

Discussion took place in regard to the proposed window and whether the height at which it would be positioned constituted an upper floor window which would lead to overlooking. The Legal Officer confirmed that the application was for a single storey extension with no upper floor. The Development Management Area Team Leader (East) advised the window would be positioned 2.4m above ground level and below 3.5m within a single storey structure. 

 

It was reported that further representations in objection to and in support of the application had been received and circulated to Members. As a result of the objections received, an amended report was issued and circulated prior to the meeting.

 

Councillor Fawthrop considered the position of the proposed window would result in serious overlooking. The overhanging and the small gap between houses would impact on light to the neighbouring property. For the reasons that the proposal was too large and would impact neighbouring amenity Councillor Fawthrop moved not to grant prior approval.

 

The Chairman seconded the motion not to grant prior approval as the scale of the proposal would harm the residential amenity of neighbours.

 

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED  NOT TO GRANT PRIOR APPROVAL for the following reason:-

 

1.  The proposed extension by reason of its proximity to the boundary with No. 12 Derwent Drive, its depth and height, would be harmful to the amenities of this neighbouring dwelling.
