Agenda item

Full application for a proposed new dwelling. (Amended plans received 30th May 2022, reducing depth of front projection, relocating dormer windows to front roofslope and increasing off-street parking provision).

The proposal was a full application for a new 3-bedroom dwelling (Amended plans received 30th May 2022, reducing depth of front projection, relocating dormer windows to front roofslope and increasing off-street parking provision).

The application is referred to the planning committee because the recommendation to approve planning permission conflicts with the views of

Woodcote Parish Council.

The development was considered in keeping with the area and meeting design guide principles. There was sufficient space between neighbouring properties and additional parking spaces.

Consultations, representations, policy and guidance, and the site’s planning history were detailed in the officer’s report, which formed part of the agenda pack for the meeting.

There were no registered public speakers.

The committee moved onto questions for the officer. There was reassurance given that materials to be used would be in keeping with the area via photographic submission of these beforehand (this was a concern of Woodcote Parish Council). The building hours restriction was not given because of the smaller scale of the build.

A motion was moved to support the officer recommendation to approve planning application.

Resolved:

Committee voted in favour of supporting the officer recommendation.
