Additional documents: Minutes: The application was referred by Cllr Russell for consideration by the Committee as he regarded the roof design and dormer as being acceptable and not impacting on the street scene or design on the interwar property. In addition it was neighboured by larger properties so would not be overbearing. The ridge height had been reduced from a previous application and it complied with CP1 of the Local Plan.
The applicant had submitted a written statement since they had been unable to attend the meeting and Cllr Russell spoke in support of the application.
Cllr Mynott MOVED and Cllr Mrs Hubbard SECONDED that the application be REFUSED. A vote was taken on a show of hands and it was
RESOLVED
That the application be refused for the following reasons:
R1 U12945 The proposed alterations and extensions to the roof by virtue of their height, bulk and massing would be out of scale and poorly related to the design and height of the application property, resulting in a dominant and incongruous development which would in turn be harmful to the character and appearance of the area. This would be conflict with Local Plan Policy CP1 (i) and (iii) and the aims and objective of the National Planning Policy Framework.
R2 U12946 The proposed dormer would be a dominant feature and poorly related to the roofscape into which it was to be inserted, harmful to the character and appearance of the area and in conflict with Local Plan Policy H17 and contrary to one of the principle objectives of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Members voted as follows:
FOR: Cllrs Bridge, Faragher, Mrs Hubbard, Keeble, McCheyne, Mrs Middlehurst, Morrissey, Mrs Murphy and Mynott (9)
