The Planning Services Manager, Mrs Evans, presented this report for the installation of a single conservation velux to the front roof on the front elevation.
Members were advised that this application was brought before the committee because the properties in Old Humphrey Avenue are protected by an Article 4 Direction which restricts permitted development rights, including alterations of this type which normally would not require a planning application.
One update to the report had been received since the publication of the agenda:-
· The applicant has confirmed the proposed materials for the velux as follows:- Grey power coated aluminium flush frame with vertical glazing bar.
· Condition 3, which required submission of materials, was therefore suggested to be removed from the recommendation.
Members were shown plans and photographs of the application site.
Although the roofline of the property is not clearly visible from the streetscene, the adjoining properties will be able to view the proposed rooflight from their upper floor window, of these views where the rooflight would be visible it is not considered to have a detrimental impact upon the street scene and surrounding conservation area due to the sensitive material proposed and its restricted site. The proposal for a rooflight is intended to provide a light source and not a window to look out of. Because the rooflight has been angled and views are limited and are mainly of the sky and adjoining roofs, it will not cause harmful overlooking onto nearby properties and therefore the application is considered to be acceptable.
After discussion, it was proposed to amend the wording of Condition 3 to include details of the materials rather than remove the Condition.
Councillor Scott proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below with the amendment to Condition 3. This was seconded by Councillor Beaver.
