Issue - meetings

            (Prior to consideration of this application, Councillor Coster had declared a personal interest and remained in the meeting and took part in the debate and vote.)

            AW/134/19/HH – Single storey side and rear extension with habitable roofspace and conversion of existing roofspace to habitable use, together with porch removal and replacement windows, 33 Balliol Close, Aldwick

            This application had been deferred from the meeting held on 4 September 2019 to enable it to be readvertised following receipt of amended plans.  The officer report update circulated at the meeting summarised the responses received to the readvertisement and concluded that none of the points raised altered the officer recommendation to approve.

            The Planning Team Leader reminded the Committee that the amended plans had reduced the size of the proposed extension and dormer.  He also advised that, as the consultation date would end on 10 October 2019, the decision would need to be taken under delegated powers by the Group Head of Planning, in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman.

            In discussing the matter, comment was made that the amendments made to the original proposal were welcomed and, whilst some Members expressed concerns, the Committee

RESOLVED

That the application be approved as detailed in the report and the officer report update and the decision be delegated to the Group Head of Planning, in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman.
