Agenda item

APPROVED

Planning confirmed that the application seeks permission for the demolition of the existing garage and garden room and the construction of a two storey side/rear extension, part two storey front extension plus additional single storey side extensions.

The development would also include the roof ridge height being raised with new crown top roof and central lantern to create loft conversion with rear dormers and side rooflights, and general elevational alterations and remodelling with extended driveway.

In an update Members were informed that two letters of support had been received since the Report/Agenda was published.

Ward Councillor and Committee member, Councillor Joel, had visited the site and confirmed that there were lots of houses of similar design within the area with the plans complementing the existing street scene.

The Chairman highlighted to Members that although this was a large proposal/development, it was set back from the road with little or no impact to neighbouring properties. The current property is of no significant heritage interest, the plans are in-keeping with surrounding properties and there have been no local objections to the plans.

In response to a question, Planning confirmed that the plan is for extensions and alterations to the current house. Some of the existing house is to be retained with substantial changes and extensions.

Members having considered the Report and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE GRANTED as recommended, subject to the conditions as set out in the Report.
