Two storey side extension and boundary fence to side.(AMENDED PLANS 06-06-19)

 

Recommendations: Approval

Decision:

RESOLVED:  That the application be approved.

 

Minutes:

Two storey side extension and boundary fence to side.(AMENDED PLANS 06-06-19)

 

Officers introduced the report, which was confirmed as a resubmission of an application previously refused on the grounds that a proposed fence was unacceptable due to concerns over height, position and design. The new application had addressed these concerns, and the application was therefore recommended for approval.

 

Members were informed that applicant had also purchased an adjacent area of private green space and the roadway within Mossendew Close, to facilitate the extension of the property on the site. However, the roadway within Mossendew Close would remain adopted public highway, of which the Council remained in overriding authority. Residents would be unaffected.

 

The Committee sought clarity on who was responsible for the re-positioning of the utilities box from its current siting. Officers confirmed that the utilities company would be responsible for this re-siting, subject to approval from the Council.

 

The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded, and when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.

 

RESOLVED:  That the application be approved.

Part two storey, part first floor side/rear extension, single storey front extension, first floor rear extension, conversion of roofspace to habitable use to include 2 rear dormers and conversion of roof from hip to gable end, 4 detached garages to rear and conversion of dwelling from 1 x 4-bed to 1 x 1-bed and 3 x 2-bed self-contained flats with associated parking and amenity space.

 

Recommendations: Refusal

Decision:

RESOLVED:  That the application be refused.

 

Minutes:

Part two storey, part first floor side/rear extension, single storey front

extension, first floor rear extension, conversion of roofspace to habitable use to include 2 rear dormers and conversion of roof from hip to gable end, 4 detached garages to rear and conversion of dwelling from 1 x 4-bed to 1 x 1-bed and 3 x 2-bed self-contained flats with associated parking and amenity space.

 

Officers introduced the report, highlighting that planning permission had previously been refused for an application on this site, which had subsequently been granted on appeal. The amendments to the application under consideration included the erection of 2 rear dormers and a hip to gable conversion to create one 2-bed and three 2-bed flats.

 

Officers highlighted concerns that the rear dormers, by reason of their siting in a prominent position, size, scale, bulk and design, would represent an incongruous and visually intrusive form of development to the detriment of the character of the street scene and surrounding area. In addition, it was felt that the proposal would result in an indoor living area of unsatisfactory size and quality for future occupiers, and so the application was recommended for refusal.

 

The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded, and when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.

 

RESOLVED:  That the application be refused.

Recommendations: Approval

Decision:

RESOLVED:  That the application be approved.

Minutes:

Erection of a building for use as a shop and storage involving demolition of existing sheds

 

Officers introduced the report, and asserted that the proposal was for the demolition of the existing stables and the erection of a building to be used as a shop and storage, and was considered to represent an acceptable form of development within the Green Belt that would not detract from the rural character and appearance of the area. The proposed new building was 345sq metres, which was an approximate 15% increase in floor area when compared to the existing building. Condition 5 was proposed to ensure that the proposed shop was limited to selling equestrian saddlery, tack, pet food and pet equipment only. The application was recommended for approval.

 

The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded, and when put to a vote, unanimously agreed.

 

RESOLVED:  That the application be approved.
