None.

It was confirmed that all the items would be heard in public.

Two storey, 4-bed detached dwelling with associated parking and amenity space.

Recommendation: Refusal

RESOLVED: That the application be refused.

Two storey, 4-bed detached dwelling with associated parking and amenity space.

Officers introduced the report and noted the addendum, which included an additional reason for refusal. Officers explained that the application proposed the erection of a dwelling between 2 and 3 Olivia Gardens, and that the applicant had concerns over how the application had been handled, but these concerns had no impact upon the Planning Committee's decision.

A petitioner spoke in objection to the application, citing the large size of the development in a small site and the impact the proposal would have on the conservation area and street scene.

A petitioner then spoke in support of the application, and stated that the proposal was for a family home, and would not obscure the view of the oak tree or impact any more on the greenery and surrounding area than other developments.

Councillors commented that the application to build on the site was a 'garden grab' and an overdevelopment on the site, with very little space around the proposed dwelling.

A motion to refuse the application was moved, seconded, and upon being put to a vote, unanimously agreed.

RESOLVED:

-        That the application was refused.

Erection of a single storey front extension; entrance canopy extension; part two storey, part single storey rear extension; front dormer roof extension (involving conversion of existing loft space); installation of rooflights to side and rear roofslopes and external alterations including rearrangement of openings and enlargement/alterations to roof.

Recommendation: Approval

RESOLVED: That the application be approved.

Erection of a single storey front extension; entrance canopy extension; part two storey, part single storey rear extension; front dormer roof extension (involving conversion of existing loft space); installation of rooflights to side and rear roofslopes and external applications, including rearrangement of openings and enlargement/alterations to roof.

Officers introduced the report and noted the addendum. The Committee heard that the existing building is currently subject to enforcement action, and the application sought to reduce the impact the extension would have upon the street scene and visual amenity of the area.

Members were informed that the sloping roof was similar to what previously existed and the Roman pillars proposed to the front of the building are prevalent in the street scene. The Committee agreed that there was a reduced impact upon neighbours and no loss of privacy for surrounding dwellings.

The motion for approval was moved, seconded, and unanimously agreed when put to a vote.

RESOLVED:

-        That the application be approved.

Single storey extension to swimming pool, external alterations to facades to include new openings and windows to allow for internal reorganisation.

Recommendation: Approval

RESOLVED: That the application be approved.

Single storey extension to swimming pool, external alterations to facades to include new openings and windows to allow for internal reorganisation.

Officers introduced the report and confirmed to Members that the proposals are in the Green Belt but were not deemed to have a great impact on the area and did not represent inappropriate development.

The Committee moved, seconded, and upon being put to a vote, unanimously agreed the motion for approval.

RESOLVED:

-        That the application be approved.

ITEM WITHDRAWN

Two storey rear extension, single storey side extension, porch to front, conversion of roofspace to habitable use to include one rear dormer, one front dormer and conversion of roof from hip to part-gable end involving demolition of detached garage to side.
