Description

First floor side extension (Amended drawings received 12.08.2016)

Decision

Planning permission is REFUSED for the following reason:

(1)          The proposed development, due to its design, scale, massing and location, would appear as a dominant and overbearing element in the outlook of No 2 Derek  Avenue, and would lead to a material loss of daylight, contrary to Policy DM10 of the Development Management Policies Document 2015

The Committee noted a verbal representation from an objector.  Letters of representation had been published on the Council’s website and were available to members of the Committee in advance of the meeting.

Note:  In the interests of openness and transparency Councillors Jan Mason and Humphrey Reynolds indicated that they were known to the objector.  However, it was not considered that it could be regarded as sufficiently close an association as to affect their consideration of the item.
