REFUSED

Description of application – Variation of Condition 2 of planning permission reference 17/00093/FULL6 (removing permitted development rights for all developments and minor operations within the curtilage of the dwellinghouse) so that permitted development rights are retained for the construction of any building of enclosure within the curtilage of the dwelling (Class E); any hard surface which is incidental to the dwelling (Class F); any chimney or flues (Class G); and any microwave antenna (Class H) of Part 1, and all minor operations under Part 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General

Permitted Development) Order 2015.

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

The application sought a variation of Condition 2 of permission reference 17/00093/FULL6 that was permitted in March 2017.  The Chairman said that Condition 2 of that permission had been included to avoid an overdevelopment of outbuildings on the site.  The withdrawal of permitted development rights did not prevent an applicant from applying for planning permission for outbuildings in the usual way.

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

1.  In view of the amount of development already undertaken at the property the proposed reinstatement of permitted development rights would lead to an overdevelopment of this prominent corner site, which would be detrimental to the visual and residential amenities of the area, thereby contrary to Policies BE1 and H8 of the Unitary Development Plan.
