Public Participation

 

Mr Cooper, spoke in support of the application

 

Verity Giles, as planning officer, outlined the report for a proposed garage and studio. It was recommended that the application be approved subject to conditions.

 

The key planning issues identified in the officer’s presentation were outlined to

include: the principle of development; impact on the neighbouring properties; the views of the local residents including those submitted after publication of the report; the construction material and the windows proposed; the relationship to the existing dwelling and neighbouring properties including the potential impact on privacy and the adjacent listed building; the access to the site;

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the officer. The questions focused on: the position of the dwellings in relation to the map.

 

Councillor Ernie Clark proposed, subsequently seconded by Councillor David Halik, that the proposal be approved subject to the inclusion of the following additional condition:

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (as amended by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (No.2) (England) Order 2008 (or any Order revoking or re-enacting or amending that Order with or without modification), there shall be no additions, extensions or enlargements or additional wall and/or roof openings to the garage/studio hereby permitted.

 

REASON:  To define the terms of the permission and in the interests of the amenity of the area and to enable the Local Planning Authority to consider individually whether planning permission should be granted for additions, extensions, alterations and enlargements.

 

In moving his proposal, Councillor Ernie Clark thanked the officers for their advice on this application. In response to an issue raised, officers advised that a further condition would be required to secure the use of materials to match the host dwellinghouse, known as Coopers Chase. Following the consent of the proposer and seconder, this was included in the proposal.

their views to the Committee, as detailed above.
