6a) 2735/22/HHO 10 The Plat, Strete Parish - Strete
Development: Householder application for replacement rear single storey sun room, first floor bedroom extension over garage, modifications to existing drive to provide additional on-site parking including resurfacing of existing for a new impermeable surface (Resubmission of 1175/22/HHO)
This application was Chaired by Councillor Rowe.
Case Officer Update: The Case Officer reported they had received the lighting plan and highlighted an error within the report that the additional parking for this application will be a ‘permeable’ surface and not ‘impermeable’ as stated in the report. The Case Officer explained that the lighting plan took into account all the measures and impact on all neighbouring properties. The Officer further added that the drainage proposal was not compliant within the SPD guidance but it could be agreed by condition. The Case Officer said that the proposed extensions were considered subservient additions to the existing dwelling and would not cause harm to the wider landscape. The development was not considered to have a significant detrimental impact on the amenity of the neighbouring properties
In response to questions raised, it was reported that: · This application does not fall with the conservation area; · The scale of the development would not require a construction management plan.
Speakers included: Objector – Nicola Cullen; Supporter – Peter Wells; Parish Councillor – Councillor G Campbell; Ward Member – Cllr R Foss.
In response to questions the objector reported that the shadow would engulf their property.
In response to questions the Parish Councillor reported that 5 residents objected, and 10-12 people objected at the parish council meeting.
The Ward Member raised the light impact on neighbouring properties. This application normally would not come to committee but decided to bring this to the committee for a decision.

During the debate, Members discussed at length the lighting issue and the impact on neighbouring properties and whether neighbouring properties would be overshadowed by this application. Member felt that overshadowing of neighbouring properties was not an issue even though a number of objections were received Members said that they could not see any reason to refuse this application.
