Minutes:

The Committee gave consideration to application number 140997 to erect extension(s) to existing dwelling at Clinton Villa, Owersby Bridge Road, Kirkby Cum Osgodby, Market Rasen. There were no updates from the Officer so the Chairman invited the Democratic Services Officer to read the followingn statement provided by Mr Peter Everton, Agent for the Applicant.

 

Good evening Chairman and members of the committee. Thank you for your time this evening.

 

As stated, this application is for a demolition of the existing garage and a proposal for a single storey rear and side extension to Clinton Villa.

 

The main concerns raised by the planning officer and neighbour objections from the previously submitted scheme were the views to and from the listed building, scale and massing, and the residential amenity impacts on the neighbouring dwellings.

 

Following a very productive site meeting and numerous email correspondence with Joanne Sizer, the scheme evolved to what you see before you today.

 

The design is sympathetic to the existing bungalow and maintains the character of the property. Scale has been reduced along with the amenity impacts on the neighbouring dwellings. Whilst the extension is large, it is appropriately proportioned to the large plot and is of a height and scale which reflects the existing dwelling.

 

The flat roof element will have minimal visual impact from the street scene and neighbouring properties, with the majority of the flat roof extension only visible from the rear garden which has been designed to negate the impact to the nearby listed building. This was a previous concern of the Conservation Officer and as seen in her most recent response, the Officer states that the setting of Kirk House will not be harmed.

 

We now present a well-rounded scheme addressing all previous issues, in our opinion adhering to all relevant Planning Policy and with an Officer recommendation for approval, which has been achieved through a proactive approach.

 

Joanne has been extremely professional, great to work with and we believed going forward this project would be seen positively, especially with the conservation officer now having no issues with the revised design and the planning officer recommending it for approval.

 

We can now no longer see why this application should not be seen as favourable and granted.

 

Many thanks for your time.”

 

With no further comment from the Officer, the Chairman opened the floor for comments from Members. The size of the planned extension was called into question and the Planning Officer confirmed the application for consideration was smaller than had been proposed originally. A Member of Committee commented that she had read the comments from neighbouring properties with interest, as well as the conservation report. She noted that the applicants had worked with Planning Officers to agree on what was being considered this evening and she was happy to support the application.

 

Having been moved and seconded, there was discussion regarding the need to condition the use of the workshop for personal use only and whether to remove permitted development rights. It was decided, and agreed by the proposer and seconder, that too safeguard for future use, the workshop should be conditioned for domestic use only and to ensure no further extensions to the property, permitted development rights should be removed.

 

With these two amendments, the Chairman took the vote and it was unanimously agreed that permission be GRANTED subject to those and the following conditions.
