To consider the accompanying Schedule of Planning Applications and proposals, marked Appendix “A”. Decision:
Minutes: 12.1 The Technical Planning Manager submitted a Schedule comprising planning applications and proposals with recommendations thereon. Copies of this had been circulated to Members as Appendix A to the Agenda for the meeting. The objections to, support for, and observations upon the various applications as referred to in Appendix 1 attached to these Minutes were presented to the Committee and duly taken into consideration by Members prior to decisions being made on those applications. 19/00414/FUL – 6 Orchard Road, Alderton 12.2 This application was for proposed two storey and single storey rear extensions. 12.3 The Planning Officer advised that the application related to a semi-detached dwelling located in Alderton. The immediate area was characterised by a mix of house types of differing styles and the site was located within the Special Landscape Area. The property itself was constructed with render and concrete interlocking tiles and benefited from a small single storey extension located to the rear. As set out in the Officer report, the proposal sought planning permission for the erection of a rear extension comprising single storey and two storey elements. The extension would be constructed from materials to match the existing building. The scheme also proposed the addition of two rooflights on the front elevation and the re-siting of a window at first floor level on the side elevation. The main issues to be considered were design and the impact upon neighbouring residential amenity and the Special Landscaping Area. The application had come to the Planning Committee for determination because the Parish Council had objected on the grounds that the proposal would have an unacceptable impact upon neighbouring properties. Neighbours had raised objections to the proposal in terms of potential loss of light, overlooking and overbearing impacts and these concerns had been addressed in the Officer report. Officers considered the scheme to be acceptable in policy terms and it was subsequently recommended for permission. 12.4 The Chair indicated that there were no public speakers for this item. The Officer recommendation was to permit the application and he sought a motion from the floor. It was proposed and seconded that the application be permitted in accordance with the Officer recommendation. A Member understood that the electricity supply came from an overhead pole directly to the house and he questioned whether this would need to be changed, should planning permission be granted, and also whether the rooflights had been included in the application. The Chair noted that the Parish Council had raised a number of similar questions, as set out at Page No. 154 of the Officer report, and he felt it would be helpful if the Planning Officer could respond to each point in turn. With regard to the statement that the boundaries appeared to encroach over the neighbouring site, the Planning Officer explained that the application had been assessed based on the submitted plans which showed the party wall encroached over the neighbouring site and he confirmed that this would be a matter for the neighbours.
