Officer report

What officers recommended

Officers recommended approval, finding the proposal acceptable in principle, design, neighbour amenity and access terms.

“Information provided on the submitted application form indicates that the extension will be constructed using white UPVC windows/ doors, brick and roof tiles to match those used on the existing dwelling. Whilst acknowledging that the extension is sizeable it will be of a size and scale that is in keeping with the character of the host dwelling. Its position to the rear ensures it will not be prominent from the public realm or harmful to the street scene.”

“In terms of the impact on the amenity of the residents of no.18, the extension will take up approximately a quarter of their garden however, the remaining garden will still be adequate with the rear of the proposal being 8m from the rear boundary. There is also a significant section of garden to the west of the proposed extension. It is felt the remaining outdoor amenity space available to the occupiers of no. 18 will be adequate.”

“- Extension on another extension - Represents overdevelopment, - Too big and will take up the whole garden - There are only 3 people living in number 18 - Neighbours are fearful it will become an HMO Cllr Couch initially suggested bringing this application to committee, however following correspondence with the Planning Officer was happy to proceed without calling in.”

“- I should refer this to Nuthall Parish Council for planning consultation. Personally I have no objection to the revised changes under the current guidelines. - Having been to visit the site and a neighbour Cllr Couch decided that the application should be called in to committee for the following reasons: • unaware of the misleading plan sent out for scrutiny • neighbour concerns that the plans are not a true reflection of the impact on the surrounding area (no.”
