Minutes: 21/02440/FUL
Comberow Cottage, Church Road, Icomb, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL54 1JL
The Planning Case Officer, Amy Hill, introduced the application:
Two storey side extension, alterations to front porch, replacement windows and associated works at Comberow Cottage, Church Road, Icomb, Glos, GL54 1JL.
The Committee noted the location relating to the application, the current view of the site and the proposed style of the proposed works.
The Committee noted the current floor plan and the proposed floor plan following completion of the works.
The Committee further noted the floor plans related to the 2006 planning application and the comparison with the proposed floor plans outlined within this application.
The following people addressed the Committee:
Victoria Campbell (Applicant)
Councillor David Cunningham (Ward Member)
A Panel site visit was undertaken by Members in advance of this meeting.
The Committee noted that Members had been given the opportunity to ascertain where the proposed gable end would be situated if the works took place.
A range of views were expressed by Members, including that the mass of the proposed works would be over-bearing on the neighbouring property.
The Committee noted that the application from 2006 in relation to the same property (application approved but works not completed) would have to be considered alongside the current application, particularly if the Committee was to refuse the current application.
The Committee noted that whilst the 2006 application was relevant, Members should consider the existing application on its own merits and alongside current planning legislation.
Members noted that the requirements of the 2006 Local Plan had not changed significantly when comparisons were made to the current version of the Plan.
In relation to the materials to be used as part of the proposed works, the Committee noted that natural stone would be used.
The Committee noted that in relation to the mains electrical connection to the building, the responsibility for this lay with the electricity company and they would make an appropriate connection as per the permitted development rights.
Given the proximity of the property to the neighbouring home, the Committee agreed that a construction statement should be conditioned to the application.
The Committee noted that if the proposed works were undertaken, sunlight would still reach the neighbouring courtyard (of the neighbouring property). A light survey had been undertaken. Section 12 of the NPF was relevant to the application.
The Committee noted that the hedge around the plot was owned by the owners of Lawn Cottage.
The Committee noted the differing views of Members in relation to the application and the difficulties associated with taking a decision.
Following comments made by Councillor Sue Jepson in relation to a split decision (agreeing the alterations to the front porch and windows but removing the two-storey side extension), the Committee noted that the two-storey extension aspect of the application was most critical to the applicant. It was not therefore considered appropriate to consider a split-decision.
The Committee noted that although the proposed works would increase the size of the existing ... view the full minutes text for item 75. |
