Chestnuts, Hutton, Brentwood, CM13 2PA pdf icon PDF 314 KB

Minutes:

This application has been referred to committee at the request of Cllr Hirst for the following reason:

 

I cannot see how the proposed extension contravenes our planning

regulations, and so cannot see why it is recommended for refusal. The issue of roof layout appears to be a matter of planning officer taste rather than policy.

 

Planning permission was sought for the significant re-modelling and extension of an existing dwelling, via two storey front, rear and side extensions, new roof and alterations to fenestration, at 4 Chestnuts, Hutton Mount.

 

The main considerations in the determination of this application were the impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area of Hutton Mount, the impact on the amenity of existing and future occupiers and parking and highway considerations and whether it had overcome the reasons for refusing the previous similar scheme.

 

Ms Outram presented the report.

 

The Applicant, Ms Monnickendam, was present at the meeting and addressed the committee.

 

Cllr Hirst, Ward Councillor, spoke in favour of the application.

 

Cllr Reed also spoke in support of the application.

 

Following a full discussion, Cllr Reed MOVED and Cllr Barber SECONDED

that the application be APPROVED.

 

A vote was taken, and Members voted as follows:

 

FOR: Cllrs Bridge, Barber, Cloke, Gelderbloem, Heard, Reed, Tanner (7)

AGAINST: Cllrs Dr Barrett, Cuthbert, Fryd, Laplain, Mynott (5)

ABSTAIN: (0)

Minutes:

This application had been referred to committee at the request of Councillor Sarah Cloke for the following reasons:

Design, appearance and layout

Conservation of buildings

Trees and open land

Overbearing development resulting in daylight and privacy issues

Planning case law and previous decisions

The need for the development overdevelopment of Town Centre   wards.

 

Planning permission was being sought for the demolition of the existing detached garage at No.85 Crescent Road and the construction of a part two-storey part single storey side and rear extension to form a new dwelling, to include alterations to the internal layout of no.85, creation of a front driveway and subdivision of the amenity area.

 

The proposal had been amended during the application process. The width of the extension has been reduced and the number of bedrooms of the proposed dwelling has been reduced to two. Other amendments include, minor alterations to fenestration, additional landscaping had been added to the rear and the external façade material had been amended to brickwork to match the front elevation of the existing dwelling. Neighbour were re-consulted on the revised plans,

 

Ms Outram presented the report.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

This application had been referred to Planning and Licensing Committee by Cllr Noelle Hones (Ward Councillor Ingatestone, Fryerning and Mountnessing) for the following reason(s):

 

Complies with the above planning policies.

 

At this property's previous application (20/01749/HHA) and in the

judgement of the Inspector, the appeal was dismissed because the design of the extension was not subservient to the main building. In the judgement of the then planning officer both the Ward Councillors and the applicant were told that a very small reduction in the roof height would have obtained approval. Not only has the applicant now complied with this but has also reduced the size of the extension in total. A height difference of 2 1/2" was mentioned.

 

The proposal seeks to construct a first floor side extension and alter the fenestration at 31 Docklands Avenue, Ingatestone, Essex, CM4 9EQ.

 

Mr Cook presented the report.

 

A statement from the Applicant, Ms Heales in support of the

application, was read by the Chair.

 

Cllr Hones, Ward Councillor, spoke in favour of the application and pointed out that no objections from the Parish Council or neighbours had been received.
