The Development Manager reported on an application for the variation of condition 9 (approved plans) of planning permission HS/FA/13/00165 – Variation to the design of the windows, relation of the bin store, amendment to the rooflight design, removal of the pergola and decrease in length of the wall along the eastern elevation facing No.2 Godwin Road. The majority of the amendments were retrospective. The application site is located at 20 Ashburnham Road, Hastings.
The site is within the Tillington Terrace Conservation Area, on the eastern side of Ashburnham Road at the junction of Godwin Road which runs along the site’s northern boundary.
The development consists of a split level modern dwelling which was approved under planning reference HS/FA/13/00165. At the time of writing the report, the dwelling was not completed internally, however, the exterior construction works had been finished. The gardens are also to be completed.
The exterior of the building is rendered with brick accents, aluminium framed windows and doors some with timber shutters.
After considering all the matters, the Development Manager felt that the proposed amendments were relatively minor and would not have a detrimental impact on the character of the development or the surrounding area, he therefore recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations have been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
A report containing some late electronic comments had been received since the publication of the agenda. This was circulated to the Committee prior to the meeting.
The petitioner, Anna Newington, was present and spoke against the application.
The agent, Mr Polito, was present and spoke in support of the application.
Councillor Beaney proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Rogers.
