To consider the report of the Director of Service Delivery, (copy enclosed, Members’ Update to be circulated)*.

Following the Officers presentation, the Applicant J Jarvis and Parish Council representative, Councillor I Wardrop addressed the Committee. The Chairperson then opened the floor for debate.

Councillor S J N Morgan then proposed to refuse the application contrary to the Officer’s recommendation and the applicant be asked to submit a full planning application for the changes in this application, this was seconded by Councillor White.

Further debate ensued around the variations outlined in the report and in response to questions raised the Officers gave the following responses:

•           Recent case law this year that states that Section 73 doesn’t only have to be used for minor material amendments it can be for material amendments, however, it must ensure that the development doesn’t conflict with the operative part of the permission granted. In the case of this application, it can be covered by Section 73 as the amendments don’t conflict with the operative part of the permission.

•           From the report, the increase in ridge height was 20cm.

•           The applicant could use the additional space in the roof area for storage purposes, however, condition 8 of the report would restrict the applicant from creating any openings in the roof, such as windows.

Councillor Morgan raised a concern with Officers’ that he had information that Velux windows were being installed in the property. Officers confirmed that there was no evidence or provision in the previous and amended applications for there to be Velux windows as this would be contrary to condition 8 or the report.

There being no further debate the Chairperson put the proposal to the Committee and upon a vote being taken, this was not agreed. In light of this the Chairperson then sought an alternative proposal from the Committee. Councillor M F L Durham then moved the Officers’ recommendation of approval as set out in the report which was duly seconded and upon a vote being taken, this was agreed.
