Agenda item

The application was for the erection of a part single storey and two storey rear/side extension with the installation of a side window at first floor level to the existing dwelling.

The application would have normally been determined under the Council's Scheme of Delegation. However, it had been reported to the Planning Applications Committee at the request of Councillor Helen Whitcroft, due to concerns that the proposal would be overdevelopment and out of character with the existing street scene.

Members were advised of the following updates on the application:

“This application has been DEFERRED.

Following the publication of the agenda, it became apparent that some of the mapping of the 11 Blackdown Road site, including the GIS Map featured in the agenda pack, was incorrect and as a result an adjoining neighbour hadn’t received a neighbour notification letter. It is a statutory requirement that all adjoining neighbours are consulted.”

The revised recommendation to defer the application was proposed by Councillor Edward Hawkins, seconded by Councillor Victoria Wheeler, and put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED that

                     I.        application 21/0005 be deferred to allow for Neighbour Consultation; and

                    II.        The application be determined under delegated authority if withdrawal of the member call-in request is received by the Head of Planning.
