Agenda item

The application was for the erection of two storey and single storey front rear and side extensions and raising of existing roof  to provide two storey, 4 bed dwelling.

This application would normally have been determined under the Council's Scheme of Delegation for Officers, however it had been reported to the Planning Applications Committee at the request of Cllr White.

Members received the following updates:

An email with attachments has been received from the agent for the application.  This email provides 3 plan attachments which seek to demonstrate that the current application is smaller than that which has already been approved. 

‘In this regard it is noted that the approved development has a larger floor area than that which is currently proposed.   However officers do not object to the proposal on the basis  of a floor space increase per se, rather it is the configuration of the development and the proposed two storey development in close proximity to the shared boundary with no.179 which is, specifically, of concern.’  

Some Members asked whether the Lightwater design statement had been taken into account with regards to this application. Officers confirmed that the application had regard for this.

Resolved that application 16/0935 be refused for the reasons as set out in the report of the Executive Head – Regulatory.
