Two storey, 6-bed detached dwelling with habitable roof space and basement with associated parking and amenity space involving demolition of existing detached dwelling

Recommendation: Refusal

This application was withdrawn.

Replacement of the existing 17.5 metre pole with a 20 metre pole and the installation of 1 additional cabinet.

Recommendation: Refusal

Officers introduced the report and provided an overview of the application, noting the addendum, and that comments had been received from the Eastcote Conservation Panel.

A representative of the Eastcote Conservation Panel attended the meeting and addressing the Committee made the following points:

·         The Committee should uphold the officer recommendation for refusal.

·         The land in question had a long history of refusal and appeals.

·         The footpath is currently narrow due to cabinets, and difficult to navigate with a pushchair.

·         It should be expected that the applicants will appeal, and the current single condition may not be sufficient. An additional point of rejection should be that no test for alternative sights was carried out.

In their discussions, councillors raised the following points:

·         Members enquired whether alternative siting could be encouraged, to which officers drew attention to informative BE37 in relation to the location of the application.

·         Members enquired as to whether the objection regarding height of the mast would be robust enough if taken to appeal. In response, officers clarified that the previous permission for the mast had established this as an acceptable location, but the additional height would take the mast above the tree line. The grounds for refusal were considered sufficiently robust should there be an appeal.

·         Members agreed that the present grounds for refusal were strong and did not require additions.

The motion for refusal was moved, seconded and upon being put to a vote was unanimously agreed.

RESOLVED:

-       That the application be refused.
