PERMISSION

Description of application – Erection of a single storey storage structure to side with existing balcony to be extended above this space and rear single storey storage shed ancillary use to restaurant. PART RETROSPECTIVE.

The Head of Development Management reported that this application was part retrospective and the side element would be modified with a new flat roof and a balustrade provided for an enlarged terrace. In terms of that element he advised Members to consider a shorter time period of one year for implementation. An Enforcement Notice had been served for the removal of the structures, however, if permission was granted and the side element implemented within the stipulated time period, the Notice would be withdrawn. The single storey rear element was acceptable but a condition should be added to ensure it was finished with materials that matched the existing building. This should also be implemented within one year. 

Members having considered the report, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE GRANTED as recommended, subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report and any other planning condition(s) considered necessary by the Assistant Director of Planning. Condition 1 was amended to read:-

‘1  The single storey storage structure to the side hereby approved must be begun not later than the expiration of 1 year, beginning with the date of this decision notice.

Reason: To comply with Section 91, Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and to ensure the timely implementation of the planning permission in view of the outstanding enforcement notice at the site.’

The following condition was added:-

4  The rear single storey storage shed hereby approved shall be finished in materials to match existing building, within 1 year of the date of this decision notice.

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.
