The Committee considered the report of the Chief Planning Officer recommending that the above application for the erection of a part two storey, part first floor extension to the front incorporating a porch, first floor extension to the side incorporating a Juliette balcony to the rear, a single storey extension to the rear and the raising of the ridge height of the dwellingbe granted subject to the conditions and for the reasons stated or referred to in the report.

Arising from the discussion Members expressed concern at the size and massing of the proposed development, felt that there would be overlooking and loss of light to neighbouring properties and that the development affected the overall appearance of the street scene.

RESOLVED:

That the recommendation be not approved and the application be refused for the reason that the development would be overbearing with the size and scale not in keeping with the original dwelling and the surrounding area and as such would be contrary to Policy HC4 (1) b.
