Issue - meetings

Having declared an interest, Councillor Obaida Ahmed left the meeting room whilst the application was considered.

The Committee considered a report regarding 18/01015/FUL, two-storey side and rear extension, single storey rear extension, front porch extension, new front bay window and canopy.

Mr Jacob Sedgemore addressed the Committee and spoke in support of the application.

In response to questions from the Committee, Stephen Alexander, Head of Planning, advised Members to consider the impact on neighbours’ amenities of the proposed extension before them and to give little weight to what could theoretically be built with permitted development rights.

Resolved:

That planning application 18/01015/FUL be refused for the following reasons:

• Loss of natural light
• Overbearing impact
• Loss of outlook

Councillor Obaida Ahmed returned to the meeting.
