Proposal Description: Item 6: The erection of six residential dwellinghouses, with associated access, landscaping and parking. Retention of existing dwelling (AMENDED DESCRIPTION).
It was noted that the committee had visited the application site on 15 April 2025 to enable members to observe the site in context and to gain a better appreciation of the proposals.
The application was introduced. Members were referred to the Update Sheet which set out the following:
(i) An additional condition removing permitted development rights in respect of extensions, outbuildings, additional storeys and roof alterations.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no development permitted by Classes A, AA, B, C, E and F of Part 1; of Schedule 2 of the Order, shall be carried out without the prior written consent of the Local Planning Authority.
Reason: To ensure that the development is proportionate to the site in order to protect the amenities of the locality and to maintain a good quality environment.
During public participation, Kate Jackson spoke in objection to the application and Chris Rees spoke in support of the application and answered Members’ questions thereon.
The Committee proceeded to ask questions and debate the application.
RESOLVED:
The committee agreed to grant permission for the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the Report and the Update Sheet, subject to the obscure glazing of windows to the first-floor west side elevation of Plot 4 to prevent overlooking to the neighbouring property at 28, Bereweeke Road.
