RESOLVED:

That the Minutes of the meeting held on 27 April 2023 be confirmed as a correct record.

Further to Minute No. 81 of 15 March 2023 the Committee considered the report of the Chief Planning Officer recommending that the above application for the erection of a detached two storey (plus attic floor) dwellinghousebe granted subject to the conditions and for the reasons stated or referred to in the report and in Late Representations.

At the meeting of the Committee held on 15 March 2023 consideration of the application was deferred to enable the Chief Planning Officer to investigate and clarify the position regarding a facing study window on the adjoining property and the distance between that window and the front of proposed dwelling.

The Chief Planning Officer reported that an investigation had been carried out and had concluded that whilst the window did serve a habitable room, the distance between the window of the adjoining property and the habitable room window of the proposed dwelling was not considered to give rise to unacceptable impacts to the living conditions of the neighbouring property at No 41, The Evergreens.

RESOLVED:

That the recommendation be approved and the application be granted subject to the conditions and for the reasons stated or referred to in the report and in Late Representations.

The Committee considered the report of the Chief Planning Officer on the results of the undermentioned appeals and progress on appeals lodged with the Planning Inspectorate.

RESOLVED:  

That the report be noted.
