The Development Manager reported on an application for a proposed additional rear extension to the 2nd floor over an existing property to form a new bedroom at 9 St. Margarets Terrace, St. Leonards on Sea.
The site forms part of a period terraced three storey building within the Magdalen Road Conservation Area. The area is densely built up with similar style buildings along Magdalen Road.
The footprint of the extension measures 3.2 by 3.5 metres with a height of 3 metres. It would be built on the boundary with No.8 St Margarets Terrace to the south. There will be no windows in the south or rear elevation. To the north, the distance to the boundary is 2 metres, in this elevation there will be a window, however it would look out over an extension at No.10.
The Development Manager felt the impact on the Conservation Area and the impact on residential amenity would be minimal, he therefore recommended the application be approved subject to conditions.
Having raised his prejudicial interest, Councillor Dowling was absent from the Chamber during discussion and debate.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
The petitioner, Mr Graham Fifield, was present and spoke against the application.

1 Petition and 7 letters of objection received
The Development Manager reported on an application for a new ventilation system at the rear of the premises to serve the public house kitchen at The Crown, 64-66 All Saints Street, Hastings.
The site is located in the Old Town Conservation Area at the northern side of Crown Lane at the junction with All Saints Street. The surrounding area has a varied character defined by a mixture of two-three storey terraced dwellings.
The site consists of a two storey public house which adjoins 9 Starr’s Cottages. Due to the topography of the area the yard area is at a lower level than the adjoining properties and is enclosed by boundary walls.
The proposal involves the formation of a new ventilation system for the kitchen of the public house. The ventilation system is to involve both fresh air supply and extractor fans with an attenuator to reduce noise and a charcoal filter to control odours. A large part of the ductwork is to run internally with a new external duct from the flat roof along side an existing chimney at the rear of the building. The extract duct will have a painted finish.
The main issues considered were impacts of the proposal on the amenity of neighbouring residents and the character and appearance of the area. Through the use of conditions, the Development Manager considered the proposal would not result an adverse impact and therefore recommended approval.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
The petitioner had been invited to attend, but was not present.
The applicant, Mr Steve Derhun, was present, but chose not to speak.
Councillor Rogers proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Roberts.
RESOLVED– (unanimously) that planning permission be GRANTED subject to the following conditions:-
1.
The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission;
2.
Noise levels from the ventilation system measured at neighbouring noise sensitive premises shall at all times be 10db below background noise levels;
3.
No works shall commence until the following details have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority:
(a) a detailed plan showing the location of all plant and ductwork;
(b) detailed drawings of the location and design of any grilles or louvres proposed;
(c) details of the paint colour and finish for the ductwork.
The works shall be carried out in accordance with the details approved ... view the full minutes text for item 31b

The Development Manager reported on an application for a minor material amendment to the previous planning consent HS/FA/13/00691 for the conversion of the existing barn to form a live/work unit at The Barn, Fairlight Place, Barley Lane, Hastings.
The site is set among a range of agricultural cottages and farm buildings which previously formed part of the farm complex at Fairlight Place Farm. The farm and buildings are located just outside Hastings Country Park, but within a Local Nature Reserve and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The application is for a minor material amendment to a previous permission HS/FA/13/00691 for the conversion of the existing barn to form a live/work unit. The amendments relate to: new emergency exists, new secondary wall, changes to external walls, removal of trees, new vehicular access.
The Development Manager felt the latest alterations were acceptable, these comprised: the form and step arrangements for the decking on the south side of the barn; the replacement of the shingle areas at the north side of the barn with block pavings; the omission of the planting areas within the front parking area and the introduction of a handrail and steps at the south end of the front parking area.
The Development Manager believed this application would not have a detrimental visual impact on the building or the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty subject to details being submitted. He therefore recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
Councillor Beaver proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Rogers.
RESOLVED– (unanimously) that planning permission be GRANTED subject to the following conditions:-
1.
The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans:

3.
The emergency exits shall be used for this purpose only and shall not be opened at other times;
4.
Notwithstanding what is shown on the approved drawing, the planting areas within the front parking area shall be retained in accordance with drawing 13.644/04C;
