Single-storey extension to provide additional bedroom accommodation.

Single storey extension to provide additional bedroom accommodation. 

 

The Northern Team Leader provided the following amendments to paragraphs 6.5 and 6.6 in report:

 

6.5       The application is an amendment to planning permission DCNC2007/2859/F and seeks a slight increase in size in order to meet minimum standards for bedroom sizes.  The size of the extension permitted under planning permission DCNC2007/2859/F measures 12 metres in length and 8.5 metres in width, with an external doorway extending from the front another 2.2 metres.  The ridge height of the building measures approximately 4.7 metres.  This would leave approximately a 1-metre gap between the rear part of the extension and the neighbouring fence.  To the front of the building, the gap would be 0.65 metres from this fence.

 

6.6              The proposed building now measures 12.8 metres to the front, and 12.2 metres across the rear, with a width of 8.5 metres.  As before, an external doorway is proposed extending the front elevation to 14.6 metres in length.  Overall, this will reduce the gap between the neighbours fence at the front from 0.65 metres to 0.5 metres.  The gap to the rear will remain as before at 1 metre.

 

He added that there was no resulting change to the recommendation in the report, in the light of the above amendments. 

 

In accordance with the criteria for public speaking, Mr Chambers spoke in objection to the application, and Mr Lutton, the applicant, spoke in support.

 

The Local Ward Member, Councillor RC Hunt, commented that previous works on the application site had been ongoing for a considerable length of time, and he asked if it was possible to impose a time limit on the proposed works, in order to minimise the potential disturbance to neighbouring residents.  The Northern Team Leader confirmed that the proposed Condition 13 in the report set out when the development would commence, and that planning policy did not make provision to impose a time limit on the completion of developments.
