Public Consultation
Yes – 5 objections received
The Planning Services Manager presented this application for part two storey part three storey rear extension and internal improvements.
A location plan, aerial view and photographs showing the rear boundary and the houses either side were shown. Drawings showing the elevations and proposed floor plans were also shown to the Committee. The property has a basement store area which makes this application part two and part three storey. The application is to match and complement the host dwelling. The ground floor window will be fixed shut and will be partially obscured. The application is supported by a structural engineer statement which concludes there are no issues around land stability.
Councillors asked regarding light and the impact this application could have on neighbouring properties. The Planning Officer and Planning Services Manager confirmed the proposed extension would not be beyond the extension on the neighbouring property and the application passed the daylight test.
Councillors debated.
Councillor Beaver proposed approval of the recommendation, seconded by Councillor Roark.
