The Principal Planning Officer, Mr Temple, presented this application for a variation of condition 16 (approved plans) of Planning Permission HS/FA/11/00510 (Conversion of the original hall and annexe into three residential units) –Amendments- Addition of one room at first floor level, reconstruction of the windows on the south elevation and double glazed units, substitution of hedge planting and fencing.
The Principal Planning Officer stated that works had ceased on site and the application was to vary the conditions of the approved scheme. He explained that there were updates for this application. Additional concerns have been raised with regards to overlooking. Planning intend to amend reasons 1 and 2 regarding the lack of information, to include the impact of the proposal on the neighbouring residential properties.
