Erection of a single storey annexe for ancillary residential use with glazed link between the annexe and the existing house
Recommendation: Refusal
Decision:
RESOLVED: That the application be refused.
Minutes:
At 21:00 the Committee took a comfort break, reconvening at 21:05.
Officers introduced the application noting that it was deferred from July’s Committee meeting for a site visit. The Committee site visit had taken place and officer recommendation remained for refusal.
Members highlighted some important photographs taken at the site visit which illustrated a better understanding of the garden space as it currently stood. Whilst Members were sympathetic to the reasons for the development and highlighted the extensive discussions which took place at the previous Committee meeting. It was highlighted that the bulk and size of the development was of particular concern and that the proposals, if approved, would set a harmful precedent. The applicants were encouraged to engage with the Planning Department on adjustments that could be made to make the proposals acceptable.
The officer’s recommendation to refuse was moved, seconded, and when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.
RESOLVED: That the application be refused.
