To consider application UTT/21/1291/HHF.

Minutes:

The Planning Officer presented a Section 73A retrospective application for the erection of a timber framed gazebo on top of existing decking. He said that the proposal would be 0.23m taller than what would be allowed via Permitted Development rights, which would be the fallback position.

 

The applicant was a Council Member. The Development Manager said that the Council Member had drawn this matter to his attention as a legitimate mistake.

 

The application was recommended for approval with conditions.

 

Members considered the height of the gazebo and whether the proposal would be visually obtrusive or out of place. Members considered that any revised scheme would come to the detriment of the aesthetics and design of the gazebo.

 

Councillor Bagnall proposed that the application be approved. This was seconded by Councillor Reeve.

 

RESOLVED to approve the application with conditions.

 

 

 

The meeting ended at 11.45 am.
