Minutes: It was noted that the principle of a dwelling on this site had been given.
Public Speaker, Objector – Objected on the grounds of overbearing, overlooking and loss of privacy; the principle of a dwelling on the site was granted on appeal and to be limited in size; the proposed structure would be closer to the boundary fence with additional fully glazed windows; and very visible in the street scene.
Public Speaker, Supporter – The additional internal floor space is required for added natural light and adaptations; the roof height would be unchanged; the added floor space of just 17 square meters would provide much needed benefit to the occupiers; and would protrude just 2.4 metres from the originally approved footprint and design.
Note: The Committee unanimously agreed to waiver normal speaking procedure and allow the supporter to be assisted by another person in addressing the Committee given the supporter’s personal circumstances.
