Public Participation

The Planning Officer, Tom Collins, presented the application for the single storey front extension.

 

The Officer summarised an update from Laverstock & Ford parish council to reiterate its objection.

 

The application was recommended for Approval with conditions, as set out in the report attached to the agenda.

 

Material considerations detailed in the report included:

·         Principle of development

·         Scale and design, impact to character and appearance of area

·         Neighbour amenity

 

It was noted that the dwelling was set back from the neighbouring property and road with a mix of styles of architecture along the Streetscene. The extension would be shielded by the side gable of the neighbouring property.

 

Members then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officer,

where the position of the proposed extension was clarified in relation to the neighbouring properties.

 

Members of the public as detailed above, then had the opportunity to speak on

the application.

 

The applicant would require disabled adaptations to her property in the future, having the proposed extension would enable her to continue living in her home in the ground floor rooms. The extension was of a similar size to two other dwellings in the neighbourhood and not considered to be detrimental to the neighbouring properties

 

The parish council representative noted its objection based on the large scale to the front of the property, the sloping nature of the site and over development of the plot.

 

Local Member Cllr Ian McLennan spoke on the application noting the already built large extension at the rear, the affected view of the other neighbouring properties, amounting to a loss of amenity.

 

He drew attention to the covenant which applied to the estate but noted that it was a civil matter and not a planning consideration.

 

Cllr McLennan then moved the motion of Refusal for the reasons as stated. This was seconded by Cllr Dalton.

 

The Committee discussed the application, the main points included clarification from the presentation slides on the extent of the extension in comparison to the side wall of the neighbouring property. The support of the neighbour subject to conditions was also noted.

 

After discussion, the Committee voted on the motion of Refusal. The motion failed. 

 

The Chairman, Cllr Hocking then moved the motion of Approval in line with Officer recommendation, subject to the conditions set out in the report.

 

This was seconded by Cllr Wayman.

 

An amendment to add a condition restricting the hours of construction was made by Cllr Dalton this was supported by Cllr Hocking and Wayman.

 

The Committee voted on the motion of Approval with the added condition to restrict the hours of construction, as set out by the Officer.
