Stephen Weeks, Head of Area Planning, informed members about some minor amendments to condition 2 (drawing numbers) and the Section 106 Heads of terms: add "Education" to the list of benefits. Subject to those he reiterated the recommendation for approval. |
Mrs Theresa Ani in objecting to the application stated that it would compromise her privacy and lead to loss of sunlight and outlook. She added that the excavations required for the proposal would cause vibration and structural damage to her property. Mrs Ani continued that the building which would be out of character with the area would set a precedent for similar undesirable developments in the area. She therefore requested a site visit to enable members to assess the full impact of the proposed development.
Mrs Evelyn McLean an objector, speaking in a similar vein, stated that she concurred with the views expressed by the previous objector adding that the proposal would create an overshadowing effect, loss of privacy and outlook. Mrs McLean also requested a site visit which would allow members to fully assess the application and for her to understand what was being proposed. A petition signed by local residents opposing the application was also presented by the objectors.

In response to the Chairs’ request for a summary of the proposal, the Head of Area Planning clarified that the distance between the site and the garden of the objector’s property was about 23 metres and therefore no significant impact in terms of height, outlook, sunlight and privacy would result. He added that the proposal which had been designed to follow normal guidance complied with Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) 17. In response to further members questions he explained the above and the speaker’s concern about level changes by referring to the plans of the proposal that were on display. He also recommended a further condition to control the use of the garage and an informative concerning the Party Wall Act reflecting Members queries about boundary issues.
