PERMISSION

Description of application – Erection of a single storey modular timber granny annexe at rear.

It was noted that contrary to what was indicated in the report, there were no objections to the application.

Members having considered the report, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE GRANTED against officer’s recommendations.  Members considered that the position of the annex was to the rear of the site and as such, it would not have a harmful impact to neighbouring properties, that there would not be any side or rear access to the annex as the surrounding land was owned by the Council and it was in the Green Belt and a condition could be imposed to restrict the annex to be only ancillary use to the main dwelling.

Permission was granted subject to the following conditions:-

1  The development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of 3 years, beginning with the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

2  The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out otherwise than in complete accordance with the plans approved under this planning permission unless previously agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: In order to comply with Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan and in the interests of visual and residential amenity.

3  The additional accommodation shall be used only by members of the household occupying the dwelling 21 Edgebury; and shall not be severed to form a separate self-contained unit.

Reason: In order to comply with Policies 6, 7 and 37 of the Bromley Local Plan, to ensure that the accommodation is not used separately and un-associated with the main dwelling and so as to prevent an unsatisfactory sub-division into two dwellings.

4  The materials to be used for the external surfaces of the building shall be as set out in the planning application forms and/or drawings unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: In order to comply with Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan and in the interest of the appearance of the building and the visual amenities of the area.

5  Notwithstanding the provision of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) order 2015 (or any Order amending, revoking and re-enacting this Order) no building, structure, extension, enlargement or alteration permitted by Class E of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the 2015 Order (as amended), shall be erected or made within the curtilage(s) of the dwelling(s) hereby permitted without the prior approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority.

Reason: In the interests of protecting the character of the area and residential amenity of neighbouring properties in accordance with Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan.

6  No primary cooking shall be provided within the proposed single storey annexe building at any time.

Reason: In order to comply with Policies 6, 7 and 37 of the Bromley Local Plan, to ensure that the accommodation is not used separately and un-associated with the main dwelling and so as to prevent an unsatisfactory sub-division into two dwellings.

7  There shall be no separate access from outside of the site provided to the proposed single storey annexe building other than from the main dwelling at 21 Edgebury.

Reason: In order to comply with Policies 6, 7 and 37 of the Bromley Local Plan, to ensure that the accommodation is not used separately and un-associated with the main dwelling and so as to prevent an unsatisfactory sub-division into two dwellings.
