                        (i)         That in respect of item 7, the application be refused for                       the following reasons: the development by reason of its scale,                      mass and size was contrary to Policies DM16 and CP13,                             and was therefore harmful to the character and appearance of                     the area and also would have an adverse impact on the                                 neighbour, with the precise wording being delegated to the Head                of Development Management to agree in consultation with the                       Chairman;

                        (iii)       That in respect of item 9, permission be granted for                              the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set               out in the Report and the Update Sheet,  subject to an additional

condition requiring refuse  to be stored on-site  only, except on collection day, with the precise wording being delegated to the Head of Development Management to agree in consultation with the Chairman.

(iv)       That in respect of item 11 the item be refused for the   following reasons: the scale, design and layout  of the attached           garage of the new dwelling in its enlarged form does not             respond positively to the character and appearance of the local        environment contrary to Policy DM16 and the development was contrary to Policy  DM17, due it having an unneighbourly impact            on the existing house at Tanera and also to the new plot 1 on          site, due to the inclusion of the new dormer windows to the front,        with the precise wording being delegated to the Head of   Development Management to agree in consultation with the             Chairman.

                        (v)        That in respect of item 13, the decision be deferred to a                      meeting of the Planning (Viewing) Sub Committee to be held on                    Wednesday, 5 September at 12 noon.  The Planning                                           (Viewing) Sub Committee would visit the site in order to assess                    the issues of parking and the impact on the listed                                            buildings, conservation area and neighbouring properties.; and

                        (vi)       That in respect of item 14, permission be granted for the                     reasons, and subject to the conditions and informatives as set                      out in the Report and the Update Sheet, subject to an                                                 amendment to Condition 3 to read as follows:
