REFUSED

Description of application – Variation of condition 3 of application reference 05/03927 (demolition of existing outbuilding and erection of detached garage) for all the building to be used as ancillary accommodation to the main dwelling.

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

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

1.  The alterations to the outbuilding beyond that permitted by application 05/03927 to provide two storeys of accommodation and its subsequent use as self-contained living accommodation are not integral to the occupation of the main dwelling and is therefore detrimental to the amenities of the neighbourhood as it is out of scale and character with the surrounding area and could potentially be severed from the main dwelling contrary to Policies H8 and G4 of Unitary Development Plan.

Cllr Fawthrop requested that if the decision of this application were to be appealed, then the Council’s appeal statement should include a suggested condition to restrict permitted development rights for the site.

(Councillor Peter Dean wished his vote for permission to be recorded.)
