Erection of a part single, part two storey extension

Recommendation: Refusal

RESOLVED - That the application be refused as per officer's recommendation.

Officers introduced the report and provided an overview of the application. The application sought planning permission for the erection of a part single, part two storey extension. Officers highlighted the addendum and made a recommendation for refusal.

A petitioner addressed the Committee and objected to the application on the following grounds:

·         The proposal was strongly objected by local residents.

·         Reports and the slides already indicated the present oversize, bulk and mass of the development.

·         This would be particularly relevant to the adjacent property on Pole Hill Road who would be overshadowed by the proposed developments.

·         The proposed development would see the property being used multiple occupancy rather than a family home.

·         There would be a loss of light, loss of privacy and the proposal would be over dominant.

·         Parking would cause a problem.

·         Overall, there would be harm to the character and appearance of the area.

·         The petitioners requested that the latest application be refused.

The applicant/agent did not wish to speak at the meeting.

The Chairman explained that only material planning considerations could be considered when determining the application. Matters such as antisocial behaviour and the suspected change to multiple occupancy were factors that could not be taken into account at this stage. Only matters put before the Committee could be taken in to account.
