Granted planning permission subject to conditions and informatives as amended in conditions 5 and 8.

PROPOSAL: Erection of first floor extension to existing single storey western wing of Claremont High School to form Sixth Form facility comprising three additional classrooms and library at north west of school site.

RECOMMENDATION: Grant planning permission subject to conditions.

Rachel McConnell, the Area Planning Manager updated members that a further representation had been received from one of the objectors to the application which reiterated the issue of privacy.  In order to address residents’ concerns, she recommended an additional condition to ensure that all glazing on the first and second floors of the northern elevation of the extension would be obscure glazed below 1.7m.  She drew Members’ attention to an amended condition 5 as set out in the supplementary report requiring details of additional landscaping to be planted along the northern boundary to provide screening.

DECISION: Planning permission granted subject to conditions and informatives and additional condition 8.
