DM.40/17       

The Committee considered the details of the planning applications prepared by the Planning Case Officers as presented in the agenda papers, and considered also the comments of Town and Parish Councils together with other representations received, which were listed within the presented agenda reports, and RESOLVED that:

 

3787/17/HHO       Bantham House, Bantham

Parish:  Thurlestone

 

Householder application for proposed gable roof extension (resubmission of 1851/17/HHO)

Speakers included:                 Supporter – Mrs Debbie Crowther: Parish Council representative – Cllr Tony Goddard; local Ward Members – Cllrs Pearce and Wright

 

Recommendation:                 Conditional Approval

 

During discussion, Members were broadly supportive but felt the design of the proposal could be improved if the gable were sloped rather than vertical.  The agent indicated acceptance of the revision and the recommendation was amended accordingly.

 

Committee Decision:       Conditional Approval delegated to COP Lead in consultation with Chairman and local Ward Members, subject to receipt of revised plans showing changes discussed.

 

Conditions:

Speakers included:                 Objector – Ms Jenny Webb:  Parish Council representative – Cllr Tony Goddard:  local Ward Members – Cllrs Pearce and Wright

 

Recommendation:                 Conditional Approval

 

During discussion, Members considered the elements of the proposal in detail, and comparisons were made with other properties in the vicinity. Whilst other properties had balconies, having had a site visit, some Members felt there would be an unacceptable impact on the neighbour at no. 22 of the proposed upper floor balcony.

 

Committee Decision:Refusal

 

Reasons:

 

The proposed first floor balcony would result in an unacceptable degree of overlooking and significant loss of amenity upon the neighbouring properties within the immediate area and therefore would be contrary to Local Plan Policies Development Plan Document Policy DP3 (Residential Amenity) and emerging Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan policies DEV1 (Protecting amenity and the environment) and  the National Planning Policy Framework in particular paragraph 17.

 

The drawings to which this proposal relates are drawing numbers 1330/04 (Location Plan) received by the Local Planning Authority on 21st September 2017 and drawing number 1330/05/F received by the Local Planning Authority on 9th January 2018.

Case Officer Update:    None

 

Speakers included:                Supporter – Mr Mark Evans

 

Recommendation:                 Refusal

 

During discussion, some Members agreed with the officer recommendation of refusal.  However, having been on site and considered that the proposal was hidden by virtue of landscape, and the innovative design and high specification of the proposal, the majority of Members felt the application should be approved.

Recommendation:                 Conditional Approval

 

Members had a detailed discussion on this application.  A number of Members wanted to support the parish council position of refusal based on the emerging Neighbourhood Plan.  Other comments included the proposal being in the wrong position on the site and not fitting into local context.  Other Members felt the property was ‘past its sell by date’, and would be impossible to make energy efficient.  There were other examples of modern design within the village.

It was PROPOSED, SECONDED and on being put to the vote declared LOST, that the application be refused.
