PERMISSION

Description of application – Part retrospective application for retention of existing two storey and single storey extensions and roof extensions including increase in roof height (0.3m) and east and west facing dormer windows (originally permitted under application references 13/03375 and 13/03731) - and proposed elevational alterations including a new line of ridge tiles.

Oral representations in objection to and in support of the application were received at the meeting.  Comments from Ward Member, Councillor Mary Cooke, were reported and circulated to Members together with a letter and photographs from the objector.  It was noted that objections to the colour of the render had been received.

The application sought modifications to existing extensions that were partly retrospective and, in their current form, out of character with the area.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION be GRANTED as recommended, subject to the condition set out in the report of the Chief Planner with a further condition to read:-

“2.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any Order amending, revoking and re-enacting this Order) no buildings, structures, enlargements, alterations including windows or other, walls or fences of any kind permitted by any class under Part 1 and Part 2 of  Schedule 2 of the 2015 Order (as amended) shall be erected or made to the host dwellings or within its curtilage without the prior approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority.

REASON:  In the interest of the visual and residential amenities of the area and to prevent an overdevelopment of the site in order to comply with Policies BE1 and H8 of the Unitary Development Plan.”
