It was proposed by Councillor Macgregor and seconded by Councillor J Taylor that permission be refused as set out in the agenda report.
A vote was taken – the result was unanimously in favour of refusal.
Resolved
That permission be refused for the following reasons: 1. The Extension, by virtue of its height and the inclusion of a clear glazed large openable window has an unacceptable impact on 3 and 5 Fore Street by virtue of their loss of privacy and the increase in overlooking that would occur. The proposal is contrary to Policies S1, S2 and WE8 of the Teignbridge Local Plan. 2. The Extension, by virtue of its position, design and scale, would cause harm (less than substantial) to designated heritage assets including the setting of Listed Buildings (3 and 5 Fore Street) and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. There are no public benefits to outweigh the harm caused and the proposal is therefore contrary to policies S2 and EN5 of the Teignbridge Local Plan and the NPPF.
