Mr Batchelor, Principal Planner presented this report for a two storey detached single family house at 34a The Croft.
It was noted that two additional documents had been received from the petitioners after the closing date for submission of late documents. The Constitution of the Council, Part 5 – Codes and Protocols - states that documents must be submitted within the time frame to allow all parties time to read the submissions, for Councillors to give proper consideration to the matter and Officers to give considered advice on any material considerations arising. The petitioners were advised that the documents could not be distributed.
Iain Willis, Petitioner spoke against the application. He stated that this was a steep and sensitive site and raised concern regarding the glass doors and loss of privacy for residents. He said the materials were out of keeping and the property would be visually dominant in the setting. He raised concerns regarding instability and the risk of flooding. Furthermore he believed plans lacked detail and were inaccurate.
Martyn Saunders-Rawlins, the applicant, spoke in support of his application. He said the house would enable them to downsize and was designed to make the best use of the site.
Councillor Poole, Ward member for Old Hastings, was present and spoke against the application. She referred to the objections made by local residents and suggested members make a site visit to the premises. She asked for the window to be removed and the conditions set at approval stage on Condition 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11.
Members discussed this item at length.
Councillor Wincott proposed a motion to approve the application with the addition of Condition 16 as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Scott.
