DM.42/21         

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:

During the debate, several Members agreed that it was a finely balanced decision, with some Members commenting that the new balcony would not greatly increase the overlooking which was already present.  One of the local Ward Members commented that there were already many houses in the area with similar balconies.  It was then proposed that there should be a condition added for obscured glass at the end of the balcony overlooking the neighbours at number 20 Meadcombe Road.

                   Town:  Kingsbridge Town Council

 

Development:  READVERTISEMENT (Revised plans received) Householder application for proposed internal and external alterations

 

Case Officer Update:             There had been nine more letters of objection received, relating to issues on privacy.  It was clarified that the balcony height would be raised by 280mm to accommodate the step down from inside out to the balcony.  The Case Officer confirmed that this application had been made by a staff member and that, again, it was a finely balanced decision.

 

Speakers included:                 Objector – Mrs K Fradd; Supporter – Mrs K White presentation read out; Ward Member – Cllr D O’Callaghan;

 

During the debate, there was a discussion regarding obscuring areas of the glass to help mitigate overlooking but that there was already a large degree of overlooking built into the original design of the estate and the topography of the site.    One Member felt that there would be the same level of noise in the garden with or without the changes, while another Member felt the application was inappropriate and unneighbourly.  A condition for obscuring part of the glass was agreed.

                                              

Recommendation:                    Conditional Approval

Committee decision:                 Conditional Approval

 

Conditions 

1.    Standard time limit

Speakers included:            Supporter – Ms A Burden; Ward Member – Cllr H Reeve (non-registerable interest declared)

 

During the debate, Members agreed there was insufficient information submitted on drainage, ecology, biodiversity, and climate change measures.  The Agent stated that there had been written justification submitted but the Case Officer confirmed this was neither on the file nor on the Council website.  Therefore it was voted that this application be deferred to allow for fuller information to be received and assessed.
