117 Fairacres Rd - 14/01012/FUL PDF 141 KB The Head of City Development has submitted a report which details a planning application for a two storey rear extension, two velux style roof lights to side roof slope and porch to front door (Amended description)
Officer recommendation: That the Committee APPROVE the planning application subject to the following conditions
1 Development begun within time limit 2 Develop in accordance with approved plans 3 Materials - matching 4 Amenity - no windows to side 5 Sustainable drainage 6 Details excluded submit revised plans 7 Flood proofing 8 Floor levels Additional documents: Minutes: The Head of City Development submitted a report (previously circulated now appended) which detailed a planning application for a two storey rear extension, two velux style roof lights to side roof slope and porch to front door (Amended description)
In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, the Committee noted that Sarah Wild and Tim Humphrey spoke against the application and Jan Matthews and Lee Reed spoke in favour of it.
The following issues were raised: · The application has gone through the proper consultation process as it is essentially the same scheme as the previous design. · The 45 degree rule is a guideline for planning officers to determine the impact of overshadowing causing significant loss of light to a habitable room. In this case, the Case Officer judged that there would not be significant impact on side facing windows in 115 Fairacres Road to justify refusal of planning permission. · There are no flooding concerns at this property. · The Highways Authority (HA) is responsible for maintaining Meadow Lane and keeping the lane safe for all road users. The committee did not have powers to require alterations to the lane.
The Committee resolved to APPROVE the planning application subject to the following conditions
1 Development begun within time limit 2 Develop in accordance with approved plans 3 Materials - matching 4 Amenity - no windows to side 5 Sustainable drainage 6 Detailed parking arrangements to be submitted and approved by the Highways Authority. 7 Flood proofing 8 Floor levels 9 Details of the boundary wall and visibility displays 10 Remove permitted development rights |
