PERMISSION

Description of application – Loft conversion with rear dormer extension with 2 Juliet balconies, conversion of garage to habitable accommodation with change of existing front garage door into a window, new front porch and 2 number sheds/outhouse to rear garden – amendments to previous permitted application ref. 18/05087/FULL6 (RETROSPECTIVE).

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

As the application was submitted under a different address, Councillor Joel asked if the application was valid. The Legal Representative advised that the Planning Administration Team would have checked that the application was accompanied by a certificate stating that the applicant had served notice on the owner of the land. Provided this had been done and fees had been paid, the application would be valid.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE GRANTED as recommended, subject to the conditions set out in the report and any other planning condition(s) considered necessary by the Assistant Director of Planning (circulated to Members). Condition 3 in the recommendations was amended to read:-

‘3 The proposed window(s) in the flank elevation and rear en-suite bathroom window which are to be obscure glazed to a minimum of Pilkington privacy Level 3 and are to be non-opening below 1.7 metres above the floor of the room in which the window is installed, shall be permanently retained in accordance as such for perpetuity.

Reason: In the interests of the amenities of nearby residential properties and to accord with Policies 37 and 6 of the Bromley Local Plan.
