Agenda item

The application was for a single storey rear extension.

This application would normally have 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. The application was deferred from the 9 December 2021 Planning Applications Committee in order to verify from the planning history that permitted development rights had not already been removed.

Members were advised of the following updates on the application:

“UPDATE 

Conditions

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 control in the interests of the openness of the Green Belt and to comply with the National Planning Policy Framework”.
