The Principal Planning Officer, Ms Prior, presented the planning application for variation of condition 2 (approved plans) of Planning Permission HS/FA/17/00769 (Render exterior of existing bungalow. New rear extension and deck. Retrospective approval for rear dormer with external boarding finish) - Amendments to height of roof, roof design and addition of flue. The Principal Planning Officer explained that the application followed an enforcement investigation that the development was not being built in accordance with the approved plans. She explained that it was built higher and a flue was installed on the flat extension.
Councillors were shown plans of the previously approved application and plans and photographs of the extension as built on site.
The petitioners were not present to speak.
The applicant, Ms Mulvey, was present and spoke in favour of the application. Ms Mulvey stated that there are many similar conversions on the road. The height as built is approximately 30 centimetres higher than the original plans. This is due to the slope of the site and ensures the internal ceiling height is the same as the kitchen. Insulation, added to meet building regulations, also affected the final design. Ms Mulvey stated that she would be happy to paint the extension roof so it blends in with the surroundings. Ms Muvley informed the Committee that three of the objectors are not residents of the area and that, as her husband has a stove fitting business, she is aware of the regulations in relation to the fitting of the flue.
A question was raised concerning the width of the dormer window. The Principal Planning Officer informed the Committee that the rear dormer is 0.8 metres wider than the original plans and has been included in this application to ensure the entire development is lawful.
Councillors debated the application.
