Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION be GRANTED as recommended, subject to the conditions and informative set out in the report of the Chief Planner with an amendment to Condition 4 to read:-

“4.  The building hereby permitted shall be used in accordance with the areas shown in the approved plans solely for: (a) the accommodation of private motor vehicles; and (b) a relaxation room, such purposes to be incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house, and shall not be used for living accommodation or any other use without the prior approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority.

REASON:  In order to comply with Policy H8 of the Unitary Development Plan, to ensure that the accommodation is not used separately and unassociated with the main dwelling and so as to prevent an unsatisfactory sub-division into two dwellings.”
