Demolition of existing rear extensions and erection of two storey and single storey extensions to rear and addition of porch to front at 4 London Road, Ampney Crucis, Cirencester, GL7 5RS

The Case Officer drew attention to additional information and then displayed a map of the site, existing elevations and photographs of the site from various vantage points.

The Committee Officer then read out comments on behalf of the Agent.

The Ward Member, who did not serve on the Committee, was then invited to address the Committee.  She explained that the property was not currently the most beautiful in design but was required to be determined by the Committee in the fairness of balance.

In response to various questions it was reported that the Conservation Officer considered the building was of historic interest and typical in its design but was not considered to be of significance to warrant listing or as a non-designated heritage asset having regard to Local Plan Policy EN12; the application property and neighbouring property were believed to have been built at the same time, but Officers could not confirm if the properties had been connected historically; Officers considered that the proposals did not represent over-development of the site; there was no current policy which required energy efficiency, but this was being reviewed within the Local Plan review and the application’s proposals had to meet and pass the relevant policies, which Officers considered it did.

A Member commented that there were benefits arising from the application, particularly in relation to the addition of a porch and the use of natural stone walling.

Another Member commented that he considered the design still fell short of what should be expected within a conservation area.

A Proposition, that the application be approved, was duly Seconded.

The Ward Member was invited to address the Committee again but advised she had no further comments to make.

Approved, as recommended.

Record of Voting - for 10, against 1, abstention 0, absent 0.

Change of use of a residential garage to a holiday let and associated external alterations at Garage 15 Main Street, Coln St Aldwyns, GL7 5AN

The Case Officer drew attention to additional information and then displayed a site location plan, existing block plans, elevations and photographs of the site from various vantage points.

A representative from the Parish Council, an Objector and the Agent were then invited to address the Committee.

The Ward Member, who did not serve on the Committee, was not present at the meeting.

In response to various questions it was reported that there was a further property behind the site which would be overlooked and hence the request from Officers for the proposed windows to be glazed, in addition to the top part of the garage doors; the 22-metre distance ruling did not apply to front windows, but Officers had considered the possible amenity impact, which Officers did not consider would be significant; there was space for two cars to park  ...  view the full minutes text for item 123.
