Issue - meetings

1 Public Speaker

     Cllr Roger Wetherall, Kingston Parish Council

Variation of conditions 2 and 3 imposed under K/9/20/HH to change materials and finishes from those approved.

The Principal Planning Officer presented her report with updates. This was followed by a Public Speaker.

Members then took part in a full debate on the application where a number of points were raised including the issue of the dark grey colour proposed and Members’ personal misgivings about it, the colour in relation to both the parish council’s design guide and neighbourhood plan, the colour’s appropriateness for a domestic dwelling and how in-keeping it was with neighbouring properties, that the proposed change was from a lighter to darker grey, the reality that there was much variation in style and colour across the housing of the immediate area, disappointment at the deviation from previously approved conditions and whether colour was even a planning consideration as it could be changed in the future unless permission was granted with restricted permitted development rights

The Principal Planning Officer and Group Head of Planning provided members with answers to all points raised during the debate.

The Committee

               RESOLVED

That the application be APPROVED CONDITIONALLY as detailed in the report and report update subject to the conditions outlined.
