Planning committee

Decided by BCP Eastern BCP Planning Committee on 16 Apr 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised granting permission because the additional dwelling carried significant weight and impacts could be mitigated by conditions.
  • Residents raised concerns about overlooking, overbearing development, scale, design, privacy, ecology and construction disruption.
  • The committee voted 5–4 to grant permission, adding conditions on glazing and footpath boundary treatment.
