Issue - meetings

The Committee considered a report regarding 18/00731/FUL, first floor side/rear extension and front porch.

Councillor Steve Evans addressed the Committee and spoke in support of the application.

Councillor Keith Inston pointed out that the application was to be considered on planning grounds only, and having seen the site, considered it would be acceptable with no adverse impact.

In response to a question from Councillor John Rowley, Tracey Homfray, Planning Officer, pointed out that if the applicant needed extra space this could be achieved without the planning application being granted with an option of using the loft space and creation of 2 bedrooms over the garage which would not be intrusive.

Resolved:

That planning application 18/00731/FUL be approved subject to the following condition:

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (or any order revoking, replacing and re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no windows or other form of opening above ground floor level shall be introduced into the South/East or North/West elevations(sides) of the building hereby permitted.
