Removal/Variation of Condition

Description

Variation of condition 16 (25050/059) The applicant wishes to vary the condition to allow for a partial conversion of the detached garage into a home office/habitable living space for 6 Harp Avenue (Plot 214). This change is required to support modern flexible working requirements. The proposal ensures that the property retains adequate on-site parking on the existing driveway and maintains a dedicated area within the garage for ancillary domestic storage, thereby fulfilling the original intent of the condition to maintain highway safety and sufficient storage. The applicant proposes that Condition 16 be amended as it relates specifically to 6 Harp Avenue, to read: 'The garage hereby approved shall be used for the parking of private motor vehicles and/or ancillary domestic storage, or for habitable living accommodation, provided that a minimum of 2 off-street parking spaces are retained within the curtilage of the dwelling at all times.
