Erection of single storey side/rear extension.
Recommendation: Approval
Decision:
RESOLVED: That the application be approved.
Minutes:
This item was taken ahead of item 10.
Officers introduced the application highlighting that it was recommended for approval subject to the suggested conditions noted in the report. Officers noted that some works had already taken place but had since been paused pending the outcome of the application at Committee.
Members asked officers whether the approximately 10cm raised platform could lead to drainage issues in inclement weather impacting the neighbouring property. Officers confirmed that the raised platform was within permitted development rights and that it would not be advisable to condition drainage matters as the proposed area of hardstanding was minimal and there was room for rainwater run-off.
The Committee noted their disappointment that works had commenced despite the application not yet being approved. The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded, and when put to a vote, unanimously approved.
RESOLVED: That the application be approved.
