House with roof dormer at 3 Ridgewood Avenue, Saltdean, Brighton

“Councillor Parrott was informed that the dwelling would be one property with a roof dormer. Planning permission would be required to divide the house into two dwellings.”

“Councillor Robinson was informed that the property was considered comparable to others in the area, the land is overlooked by neighbours and boundary fencing will be erected without the need for planning permission. The proposals are not considered to have a significant impact on the neighbouring properties.”

“Councillor Earthey was informed that the neighbouring property at no.91 was refused planning permission but allowed at appeal.”

“Councillor Earthey declared the property was in their ward and noted that the dwelling was in a decrepit state. A refurbishment of the dwelling was better than leaving the house to decay. The councillor supported the application.”

“Councillor Cattell considered the property a sad little house and the proposals are good. The dwelling, at the end of the road, needs converting. The councillor supported the application.”

“A vote was held, and the committee agreed unanimously to grant planning permission.”

“RESOLVED: That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in the report and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives in the report.”
