Issue - meetings

Refused planning permission.

Mr Brazier, the applicant’s father stated that the proposed development which had not received any objection from the neighbours was intended to create an improved amenity space for the applicant without resulting in corresponding increases in the demand for local infrastructure.  In urging members for approval, he drew attention to precedents in Okehampton Road and Dundonald Road.

In responding to the issues raised, Andy Bates stated that the proposed two-storey side extension was considered to be an inappropriate form of development in terms of its impact on the character of the locality. In respect of the precedents he submitted that the properties along Okehampton Road, on the opposite side of the junction with Dundonald Road were different from the proposed development and had their own distinct character.
