Agenda item

Two storey 4-bed detached dwelling involving demolition of existing detached dwelling.

Recommendation : Approval

Two storey 4-bed detached dwelling involving demolition of existing detached dwelling.

Officers introduced the report informing the Committee that the site was in the Metropolitan Green Belt.  The proposed design fits in with the street scene and was not harmful to the character of the area. Officers asked that condition 5 as amended on the addendum sheet be further amended to delete ‘as well as access to the site, including the crossover’.

In answer to a question raised by members, officers advised that the conditions attached to the permission override the plans, but suggested that condition 8 be amended to add ’not withstanding the approved plans’.

Members also asked for the window on the staircase to be obscure glazed as the first floor window was in a different place and position.  The committee agreed to condition 8 being amended as suggested by officers. .

The recommendation for approval was moved, seconded with condition 8 being amended and on being put to the vote was agreed.

Resolved – That the application be approved subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the officer’s report and addendum sheet circulated at the meeting and conditions 5 & 8 amended as follows:-
