Mr Stephen Wichary spoke in support of the application 

The Planning Officer introduced the report which recommended refusal.

A debate ensued during which the comments of the Conservation Officer and Parish Council were discussed.

Resolved:

That planning permission be approved for the following reasons:

The extension would respect the character of the listed building by virtue of its subservient scale, linear form and appropriate design and materials. There would be no significant impact upon the amenity of neighbours, and the character of the conservation area would be preserved. The development would therefore be in accordance with the aims and objectives of the development plan and other material Government guidance, having particular regard to saved Local Plan policies G2, D3, CN3, CN8, C5 and national planning policy PPS5.

And subject to the following conditions:

1)     The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.

Reason: To comply with the provisions of Section 91 of the Town and  Country Planning Act 1990. As amended by Section 51 (1) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

2)     This decision relates to documents/plans submitted with the application, listed below:

Plan Ref….102A...               Date Received….16.07.10….

Plan Ref….103...                  Date Received….16.07.10….

Reason: For the avoidance of doubt.

3)     No development shall commence on site until written details of the materials to be used for the external walls and roofs have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. Where so requested by the local planning authority, samples of materials shall be provided on site for further written agreement. Development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

Reason: In the interests of preserving the character and appearance of the listed building and its setting.
