Agenda item

The Planning Officer introduced the item and confirmed that amended plans had been received after the report had been published.  The amended plans had addressed some of the concerns in the report, but the Planning Officer still had concerns regarding the size of the proposed extension.  The Planning Officer confirmed that a further reduction in the size of the extension would not fit with the design guide and would then be out of proportion with  the host property.  The Planning Officer considered the proposal would harm the character of the property and recommended refusal of the amended scheme .

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:
