Agenda item

It was noted that Members had visited the site on the previous day.

The Planning Officer introduced the item and explained that the variation of the roof height had been caused because of an error in the drawings of the previously approved planning application submitted in 2017, which showed the variance between the two roofs but had given measurements which did not provide a break between the two roof heights.  Other variance from the original plan had also occurred during building and were not in line with the design guide. The Planning Officer confirmed that the resulting building was not unacceptable but that the barge board on the first floor extension would need to be changed in line with the original planning application and that the applicant had been informed.

Cllr D Chapman declared a personal interest as he rented the field next to the property.

In accordance with the Authority’s Standing Orders, the meeting voted to continue its business beyond three hours.

The Officer recommendation to approve the application was moved and seconded.

Members requested that consideration be given to future conditions to restrict the relative size of roofs and to secure breaks in roof lines as shown on submitted plans.

The Officer recommendation to approve the application was voted on and carried.

RESOLVED:

To APPROVE the application subject to the following conditions and recommendations:

1.    Development carried out in accordance with plans

2.    The fascia/barge board to be removed from the two storey extension and the roof verge(s) shall be flush pointed.
