Agenda item

The Planning Officer (EP) delivered her report to the committee.

The Chair thanked the Planning Officer and noted there were no speakers for or against the application.  He then discussed the history of the application.  He stated it was similar in scale to the neighbouring houses, and did not stand out.  He noted that it was set back and not overly prominent in the street view and he saw no reason to vote against it.  The Chair then invited the committee to discuss the proposal.

A member of the committee noted that the building occupied a lot of the plot size, but no members raised any objections.

The Chair moved for the committee to vote on the officer’s recommendation that planning permission be granted.

On being put to the committee, the application was granted.
