The Head of City Development submitted a report setting out an application for planning permission for construction of a garden outbuilding.

Gretchen Seiffert, a local resident, spoke against the application.

Notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation for approval, the Committee were of the view that the building was too large and in particular too high, and was as a result dominating and overbearing given the narrow plot and its proximity to the adjacent gardens and did not sit well in its wider surroundings. The outbuilding therefore was considered not to comply with policies CP1, CP8, CS18 and HP9 highlighted in the report. 

The Committee resolved to refuse planning permission for application 14/02925/FUL, 30 Harpes Road because:

the size and in particular the ridge height of the building was overly dominant in the narrow plot and created an unacceptably overbearing development adversely affecting the amenities of neighbouring householders contrary to policies CP1, CP8, CS18 and HP9.

Summary information on planning appeals received and determined to mid-December 2014

The Committee is asked to note this information.
