Agenda item

The application was for the erection of a single storey rear extension with a flat roof canopy and associated alterations, following the demolition of the existing rear conservatory and part of the existing garage. (Additional information and amended plan rec'd 20/08/2018.)

This application would have normally been determined under the Council's Scheme of Delegation, however, it was reported to the Planning Applications Committee at the request of Councillor Max Nelson. This was due to concerns that the proposed development could be inappropriate and over imposing, which could cause issues to the neighbours.

Members of the Committee received the following updates on the application:

‘Members’ site visit was undertaken on 18th September.  Cllrs Hawkins, Sams, Perry, Lytle and Gandhum visited the site.

A minor amendment has been made to the first floor floorplans, as there are only three bedrooms and a bathroom, and not four bedrooms. This does not affect the development applied for.  However the proposed Condition 3 should be updated as follows:

3. The proposed development shall be built in accordance with the following plans:

- Amended Site and Location Plan 001 Rev A received 20.8.18

- Amended Proposed Floorplans 004 Rev A received 12.9.18

- Proposed Elevations 1811-005 Rev A received 27.6.18

There is also an error in the agenda report where the case officer has referred to Windlesham Parish Council having been consulted in paragraph 5.1.  They were not consulted given the location of the site.’

The recommendation to approve the application was proposed by Councillor Jonathan Lytle and seconded by Councillor Victoria Wheeler and put to the vote and carried.

Resolved that application 18/0579 be granted subject to the conditions as set out in the Officer Report and the Planning Updates.
