REFUSED

Description of application - Minor Material Amendment - Elevational alterations to include raising threshold of garage door, lowering of ground floor windows, timber front door and single storey chimney stack. Increase in internal size of loft room to provide bedroom, bathroom and store room, and additional side roof light.

Oral representations in objection to the application were received at the meeting.  Comments from Ward Member, Charles Joel, were reported.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations RESOLVED THAT THE MINOR AMENDMENT BE REFUSED,for the following reasons:-

1.  The application would represent a substantial departure from the original application and the changes therefore require full planning permission.

2.  The changes represent an overdevelopment of the site harmful to the character of the area, thereby contrary to Policy BE1 of the Unitary Development Plan.

(Councillor Peter Dean wished his vote for ‘Approval’ to be recorded.)
