The Development Management Team Leader, Adam Madge, presented a report on the application for a detached annexe ancillary to a main dwelling. Key issues included the principle of the application, scale and design, and impact on the character and appearance of the area, and matters of residential amenity.

 

The Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of officers. Details were sought on the dimensions and siting of the proposed annexe, and in response to queries it was stated that the proposed build was slightly in excess of what would be allowed through permitted development rights without planning permission.

 

In accordance with the procedure for virtual meetings public statements were then read out by the Democratic Services Officer, as detailed above, which were included in Agenda Supplement 1 along with the committee presentation.

 

The Local Unitary Member, Councillor Kevin Daley, then spoke in objection to the application.

 

The Committee then debated the application. It was confirmed that the case officer had visited the site, and Members debated the impact of the proposed annex, its scale, and location.
