Agenda item

The application was for a single storey rear extension.

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 Victoria Wheeler because of concern over the harm to the Green Belt.

Members were advised of the following updates on the application:

”UPDATE 

The proposed plans for approval include velux windows which are permitted development.   To provide clarity on what works are to be undertaken it is proposed to update condition 4 to enable all the works shown on the approved plans to be undertaken as follows:

Amended condition 4 (change in italics)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no further extensions, roof alterations, porches or outbuildings shall be erected on the site without the prior approval in writing of the Local Planning Authority.

Unless otherwise shown on the approved plans any other development under the Classes stated above undertaken or implemented between the date of this decision and the commencement of the development hereby approved shall be demolished and all material debris resulting permanently removed from the land within one month of the development hereby approved coming into first use. 

Reason: To retain controls in the interests of the openness of the Green Belt and to comply with the National Planning Policy Framework.

Amended recommendation

Grant subject to the conditions set out in the agenda report as amended by this update”.

The Committee felt that in order to understand the total existing potential scope of the dwelling, they needed confirmation as to whether the Permitted Development rights relating to the 1973 granting of planning permission had been removed. As a result a proposal to defer the application was proposed by Councillor Edward Hawkins, seconded by Councillor Victoria Wheeler and carried.

RESOLVED that application 21/0902 be deferred in order to seek further information on the planning permission granted in 1973.
