The Planning Services Manager, Mrs Evans, presented this report for a third floor extension to existing second floor flat to form bedroom and terrace area.
The Planning Services Manager provided an update to the report:-
· The original application form for this proposal was updated. The name of the applicant remained unchanged and the later application form comes c/o Elevations Design Ltd.
Members were shown plans and photographs of the application site.
The Planning Services Manager confirmed that it is proposed to increase the floor space and bring it within the national minimum internal space standards. She stated that there were similar extensions along the terrace. The extension will provide a bedroom with en-suite shower-room / WC and a small roof terrace area. The materials will be contemporary. Public objections received referred to blocking the light into the bathroom of Flat 18, structural stability, and the fire escape route. This is dealt with under Building Regulations. The Conservation Officer made no objections.
