Householder Application - Underground garage/workshop to replace existing temporary wooden structures at Slaley Hall Cottage, Leys Lane, Slaley (NP/DDD/1119/1248)
Minutes:
The Head of Development Management introduced the report and expressed concern that the proposed garage roof could be used as a terrace which would overlook an adjacent neighbouring area which was in domestic use and therefore amended condition 3 of the recommendation to state ‘Submission of details prior to the garage being brought into use for the roofing of the garage and erection of fence to prevent egress on to the roof’.
The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:
· Mr P O’Halloran, Applicant
In response to Members’ queries the Head of Development Management stated that although there was no objection received from the neighbour the Authority was still obliged to consider amenity.
Members expressed some concern about the design of the proposal and therefore a motion for deferral for a site visit to consider the impact on the amenity of the neighbour and the surrounding area was moved and seconded. This was put to the vote and carried.
RESOLVED:
That the application be DEFERRED pending a site visit to consider the impact on the amenity of the neighbour and the surrounding area.
