Description of application – Increased height of the first floor rear flat roof and side parapet wall RETROSPECTIVE APPLICATION.

Oral representations in objection to the application were received.   Oral representations from Ward Member, Councillor Douglas Auld, in objection to the application were received at the meeting.  Councillor Auld was concerned at the loss of amenity, daylight, sunlight and prospect to 42 Towncourt Crescent, and also the design and appearance in an area of special residential character.

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

1.  The proposed extensions by reason of their height and design would have a seriously detrimental effect on the daylighting, sunlighting and prospect to the neighbouring property, and the character and visual amenities of the area, thereby contrary to Policies BE1, H8 and H10 of the Unitary Development Plan.

It was FURTHER RESOLVED that ENFORCEMENT ACTION BE AUTHORISED to revert to the approved scheme permitted in September 2012 under reference 12/01455FULL6.

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