Two storey front extension, new integral garage under, new pitched roof with dormer to rear.

The Committee considered an application for a two storey front extension, new integral garage under, new pitched roof with dormer to rear.

This was a revised application to that which had been previously approved by the Development Management Committee (P/2012/0666) which sought retrospective permission for alterations to the previously approved plan.  The main alterations included an increase in the width and height of the dormer and gable end on the principle elevation and the addition of a large box dormer to the rear as well as the retention of the existing garage.

Prior to the meeting, Members of the Development Management Committee undertook a site visit and written representations were circulated to members.  At the meeting Stuart Ruffe addressed the Committee against the application and Roger Swift in support of the application.  In accordance with Standing Order B4.1 Councillor Pritchard addressed the Committee.

Resolved:

Refused on the grounds that the retrospective development has a detrimental impact on the visual amenities of the streetscene.  In particular, this is due to the combination of the raised ridge-height (above the level of the original dwelling) and the increased dominance of the front gable, the front dormer and the rear box dormer.  The development also has a detrimental impact on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers.
