Minutes:

The Committee considered the agenda report and additional information reported by the Business Manager- Strategic Place.

 

Public speaker, Supporter – Referred to the architectural variation of dwellings and dormer designs in the immediate street screen and the surrounding area. The speaker made reference to photographs she had previously emailed to Members, which she considered evidenced that the current proposal would be in keeping with surrounding dwellings and would blend in with the street scene.

 

In response to questions the Business Manager confirmed that the site was not in a Conservation Area and the property was not a Listed Building. However, consideration should be given to design policies contained within the Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

Comments made by Councillors included there appears  to be no standardised deign style or external materials in the street scene, there is a variety of roof and dormer designs, and the current application, given the dwelling’s height and elevation, is not considered overbearing, dominant or detrimental to the appearance of the street scene.

 

It was proposed by Councillor J Hook, seconded by Councillor McGregor and

Statement of Reasons

1.  No standardised dwelling or dormer design within the street scene.

2.  A variety of designs within the street scene and surrounding area.

3.  The front elevation dormer is not considered overbearing and dominant in the street scene given the dwelling’s elevated position and height.

4.  The design and materials are not inconsistent with the street scene.
