The Chairman explained to those present that members of the committee had conducted a site visit earlier in the day.
The planning officer outlined the application and clarified the design of the proposed extension.
A number of committee members expressed concerns regarding creeping development in the countryside in general, and also regarding the treatment of the boundary between the application site and the neighbouring plot.
Following discussion it was
Resolved:
That planning permission be GRANTED for the following reasons:
The proposed extensions, by virtue of their appropriate scale, siting, design and materials, would have no significant impact upon the character and appearance of the area or the amenity of neighbours.
