WARD COUNCILLOR

Ø  Cllr P Hall called in the application. He confirmed that he had not predetermined the application and spoke in his capacity as Member of the Committee.

Resolved that planning permission be GRANTED with the conditions set out in the officer’s report, as revised and added to in the Committee addendum sheet, and with the following additional condition omitted from the officer’s report and agreed by the Committee:

·       Single window in southwest elevation of proposed two storey extension to be obscure glazed

Reason: The proposed two storey extension has a single window in the southwest elevation, proposed to serve an en suite bathroom. Given the distance from the boundary, it is considered this window, in the absence of obscure glazing, could have direct views to the garden of the neighbouring property. A condition is therefore recommended to ensure this window is obscurely glazed.
