Variation to Condition 2 (insertion of front dormer windows) of Planning Permission 19/00249/FP granted 02/04/2019 for erection of one terrace of three 2-bed dwellings following demolition of existing bungalow (as amended by plan nos. PL02 E & PL03 D).

 

The Principal Planning Officer presented the report in respect of application 20/00292/S73 supported by a visual presentation consisting of photographs and plans.

 

The following Members asked questions of the Principal Planning Officer:

 

·                Councillor Terry Tyler;

·                Councillor David Levett;

·                Councillor Ruth Brown; and

·                Councillor Val Bryant.

 

In response to questions raised by Members, the Principal Planning Officer responded as follows:

 

·                The item was called in by Councillor Ian Albert as he was concerned with the size and scale of the dormers and the parking;

·                Dormers would require planning permission regardless of being in a Conservation Area;

·                It was correct that the majority of dwellings do not have front dormers; and

·                The front dormers do not have a jarring impact on the environment.

 

It was proposed by Councillor Levett, seconded by Councillor Allen and upon being put to the vote, it was:

 

RESOLVED: That planning application 20/00292/S73 be GRANTED planning permission subject to the conditions and reasons contained in the report of the Development and Conservation Manager.
