Councillor Mrs. M.D. Lloyd-Hayes, a Local Member, thanked the Sub-Committee for the site inspection that had been held.  Councillor Mrs. Lloyd-Hayes said that she supported the application subject to clarification about drainage issues.  She noted the comment in the Officers Appraisal that ‘The design is not of any particular architectural merit’ and felt that the design was disappointing given the sensitive location of the site in the Conservation Area.

 

Councillor W.J. Walling, a Local Member, also commented on design considerations but noted that the development would be screened from view.

 

In response to an earlier question, the Senior Planning Officer confirmed that Welsh Water had no objections subject to conditions.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions:

 

1        A01 (Time limit for commencement (full permission))

 

         Reason: Required to be imposed by Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

 

2       B01 (Samples of external materials)

 

         Reason: To ensure that the materials harmonise with the surroundings.

 

3       E08 (Domestic use only of garage)

 

         Reason: To ensure that the garage is used only for the purposes ancillary to the dwelling.

7       E29 (Occupation ancillary to existing dwelling only (granny annexes))

 

         Reason: It would be contrary to the policy of the local planning authority to grant planning permission for a separate dwelling in this location due to the annexe design, site constraints, and the relationship of the annexe to the neighbouring properties.
