Agenda item

The Chair left the room for this item, as he had declared a prejudicial interest, and as the Vice Chair of Planning was not available for this meeting,  Cllr Murphy was voted in and took the Chair for this item

The Officer presented the report and reminded Members that this was an application that was deferred at the January meeting to allow for further discussion between the Applicant and Officers.  The Officer informed Members that since the January meeting, the applicant has omitted the proposal to replace the mullions and would repair the existing mullions instead.

The following spoke under the public participation at meetings scheme:

·         Mr Trevor Ride, Applicant

Members were mindful that the existing windows were unauthorised so this was an opportunity to regularise the permission. Members considered that the appearance was not detrimental to the grade II listed property and that it was not possible to tell that the windows were double glazed, which would also make it more energy efficient

The motion to approve the application was proposed, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

That the application be APPROVED subject to the following conditions:

1.    The works hereby permitted shall be begun within 3 years from the date of this permission.

2.    The works hereby permitted shall not be carried out other than in complete accordance with the following approved plan: ‘2234-02 A’.
