Agenda item

The application was for retrospective permission for the installation of a raised patio to the rear of the dwelling.

The raised patio spanned the width of the dwelling, had a height of 0.3m adjacent to the rear elevation of the dwelling increasing to 0.5m at the furthest point from the dwelling due to the change in land levels on the site. There were retaining walls surrounding the patio area, steps down to the garden and planting areas to the sides of the patio. The patio had a depth of 5.3m and area of 53m² including the steps.

The application had been reported to the Committee on the request of Councillor Galliford due to concerns about loss of privacy and amenity to neighbours.

The officer recommendation that the application be approved, subject to the conditions proposed in the officer’s report and the update sheet, was proposed by Councillor Rise, seconded by Councillor Deach put to the vote and carried unanimously.

RESOLVED that application 22/0655 be approved subject to the conditions in the officer report and update sheet, as amended.
