The Planning Area Team Leader presented the report with updates. This was followed by 4 Public Speakers.
Members then took part in a full debate on the application where a number of points were raised and responded to by Officers, including:
· the application bearing in conflict with the Local Plan and Design Guide
· similarity to other properties but still only a minority in the area
· what development could be done under Permitted Development
· its position on the plot and how the house related to the street scene
· the street scene having already changed with other developments
· issues of consistency and the precedent of having approved similar designs
· the size of neighbouring properties and extensions
The Committee
RESOLVED
That the application be APPROVED CONDITIONALLY as detailed in the report and report update subject to the conditions as detailed.
