            R/91/20/PL – Demolition of existing garage & store on existing dwelling & erection of 1 No. detached bungalow to rear, 6 Manor Road, Rustington

            In presenting this application, the Planning Team Leader reminded Members that a previous application had been refused in March 2020 and what was now before Members had been modified to take account of the comments made at that time.  An officer report update had also been provided which set out the detail of an additional objection received.

            The Committee welcomed the amended proposal and felt that it was more in keeping with the character of the area but wished to add a further condition to prevent changes to the roof to allow loft conversions, the addition of dormers, and the building of a garage within the site.  The Planning Team Leader advised that that would reasonable and would prevent overlooking; however, he asked that authority be delegated to the Group Head of Planning, in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, to provide the necessary wording as he did not have it to hand.  The Committee agreed and

RESOLVED

That the application be approved as detailed in the report and subject to the addition of a condition removing permitted development rights relating to changes to the roof, dormers and a garage, the wording to be delegated to the Group Head of Planning, in consultation with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman.
