REFUSED AND ENFORCEMENT ACTION AUTHORISED

Description of application –  Alterations to existing side dormer (Retrospective Application).

Oral representations in support of the application were received at the meeting.  It was reported that the application had been amended by documents received on 14 June 2017.

Councillor Alexa Michael and Councillor Douglas Auld had supported deferment of the application at the meeting of Plans Sub-Committee 1 held on 13 June 2017 and although they acknowledged the applicant had met the reasons for the deferral, in their view, the proposed development was still over dominant and out of character with other houses in the street scene. 

In 2016 the Planning Inspectorate had dismissed planning appeals at numbers 42 and 138 Birch Tree Avenue and Councillor Auld referred to those reasons for dismissal. 

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED as recommended for the reason set out in the report of the Chief Planner with the following Informative to read:-

INFORMATIVE:  You are advised that enforcement action has been authorised in respect of some or all of the development subject of this planning decision and you should contact the Planning Investigation Team on 020 8461 7730 or by email to planningappeals@bromley.gov.uk to discuss what you need to do to avoid formal action by the Council.

It was FURTHER RESOLVED that ENFORCEMENT ACTION be AUTHORISED to SECURE THE REMOVAL OF THE DORMER.
