Revision to planning permission ref. 17/01269/FUL to add 1 two bedroom unit with new staircase entrance, modify 2 approved houses and insert 6 additional dormers in the elevation.

The committee received the report of the Head of Development Management, including the relevant planning history of the site and details of the responses to the application. 

The Development Management Team Leader (PB) explained that the application proposed a revision to planning permission 17/01269/FUL to add one two-bedroom unit with a new staircase entrance, modify two approved houses and insert six additional dormers in the elevation.

In the absence of speakers, the Chair invited comments from the committee.  Some committee members expressed concern that an application for this site had returned to the committee for a third time.  They argued that, although small, the cumulative effect of the proposed changes in the current application would result in a detrimental impact on both the street scene and on the privacy of local residents.

Despite these concerns, the committee agreed that there were no grounds for refusal and the Chair moved the officer’s recommendation.
