Issue - meetings

To consider application UTT/19/1115/FUL.

On recommendation of the Legal Officer and Chair, Councillor Sell spoke, retired to the public gallery to hear the rest of the speakers and then left the room during the deliberation of the application.

The Planning Officer presented the planning application  for the proposed demolition of the existing bungalow and garage and the erection of two detached dwellings. The dwellings will be two storey and will include associated access and parking to the front of the site. The dwellings will include external materials of brick and weatherboarding under clay tiled roof.

The recommendation was to approve the application with conditions.

The members sought clarification from the officers in relation to the differences between what had already been approved on the site and what the changes applied for were.

The Committee asked for the permitted development rights to be removed on approval of the application, the Planning Officer said that this would be conditioned and that it was not an unusual approach.

In response to a member question the Planning Officer advised that the window which was at risk of overlooking could be conditioned to be obscured or have restricted opening.

The Development Manager also confirmed that there was no convention that meant that properties had to be mirror images of one another.

Councillor Gerard proposed the motion to approve the application subject to conditions.

Councillor Lemon seconded the motion.

RESOLVED: to approve the application with the conditions laid out in the decision notice.

Councillor Sell returned to the meeting.

Cllr Sell and Mr V Ranger spoke on the application.
