Planning application documents

The planning officer introduced the report as published.

There were no public speakers and no Member questions.

The matter went to Member debate where the following point were made:

·         Could planning officers consider the measurement in centimetres rather than millimetres as it is easier to relate to.

·         There are concerns about the light test on the side elevation.

·         There will be overlooking of the garden, which will mean that the neighbours will be extremely overlooked.  This would be deemed as a loss of amenity and that is unacceptable.

·         Although there was concern about the sewage, this is not a planning matter and cannot be looked at by the committee.  It cannot be a condition, but it can be an advisory to contact Severn Trent.

·         Loss of light is not impacted by this development.

The matter then went to the vote on the officer recommendation to permit:

For: 5

Against: 4

Permit.
