Agenda item

The application was for the variation of condition 4 of Appeal Decision APP /D3640/A/10/2133102  to planning permission SU/09/0814 so as to allow changes to windows, doors, basement layout and the erection of dormer windows on all 3 plots, and changes to roof for Plot 3 (retrospective for Plots 1 and 2).

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 the Executive Head of Regulatory.

Members were informed that there was a condition attached to the application which removed permitted development rights should the Committee be minded to approve the application. The landscape plan had also been revised to mitigate the gaps in the existing vegetation. However, some Members still felt that the proposal would be overbearing. Some councillors requested that the word ‘suitable species’ in condition 7 be changed to ‘native species’.

Resolved that application 16/0920 be approved, as amended subject to the conditions as set out in the report of the Executive Head – Regulatory.
