Agenda item

The application was for a double storey north (rear) extension and part single, part double storey west side extension.

The application would have normally been determined under the Council’s Scheme of Delegation. However, it had been called-in by Councillor Edward Hawkins due to concerns expressed to him over the proposal’s bulk and mass, being out of keeping with the neighbourhood and being overbearing.

Members were advised of the following updates on the application:

“UPDATE 

A further email from the neighbour has been received stating that the picture used on the agenda from their garden is wrong [Officer comment: Within the agenda a photo of their rear garden was not included]

CORRECTIONS

Page 44: The text above the image should read no. 26 Hillsborough Park not no. 29”

The officer recommendation to grant the application was proposed by Councillor Helen Whitcroft, seconded by Councillor Graham Tapper, and put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED that application 21/0270 be granted subject to the conditions as per the Officer’s Report.
