Minutes:

The Planning Officer introduced the application to the committee with a presentation.

 

Public Speaker, Supporter – Spoke on:

·         Loss of privacy

·         No roof plan

 

Public Speaker, Supporter – Spoke on:

·         Similar designs in area

·         Roof height increase is only moderate

·         Sloped ground prevents overlooking

 

Comments from Councillors include

·         Overdevelopment

·         Loss of privacy

·         Concerns of further development

·         Development looks like a second storey

·         Could the windows be removed?

·         What were the recommended best practise recommendations?

·         There are already examples of overlooking in the area

·         Damaging to skyline

·         Contrary to Policy WE8, S1 and S2

·         Roof height raising is significant

·         Impacts on visual amenities

·         Relative height is lower than the objectors’

·         No policy reasons for refusal as no loss of outlook

·         Dominant effect on neighbouring properties

·         Can a condition be added for bee bricks and bat and birdboxes?

 

In response the Planning Officer informed the committee that:

·         The window is the greatest area of concern for objectors and Councillors can request its removal as a condition

·         Ecologist recommended best practises are about handling of bats and the building fabrics

·         Applicant would likely accept a condition on birdboxes, bee bricks and bat boxes.

·         The glazed windows in the WC can be opened

·         View is not a planning consideration, but outlook is

 

It was proposed by Councillor Haines and seconded by Councillor Dewhirst that permission be granted as set out in the officer’s report, with one additional condition relating to the ecological report.
