The Principal Planner, Miss Roots, presented this report for the variation of Conditions 6 (hard landscaping) and 21 (approved plans) in respect of the erection of a 2m high retaining wall on the western boundary of the site and to accurately identify the changes in site levels. Members were advised that this was a retrospective application.
Members were advised of an update to the report of 1 further letter of objection that had been received regarding the report and visibility of the wall from the street scene. Miss Roots clarified where the proposed works would be visible from. She advised that the retaining wall was needed to make the adjoining gardens usable for future residents.
Councillor Clarke proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Wincott.
