Minutes: Officers reported on a representation received from the occupier of the neighbouring property reiterating their objections to the proposal in view of the fact that they were not, as intended, able to attend the meeting and address the Committee in person. In terms of the neighbour’s objections, the relevant Conditions were provided for Members’ information, all as detailed in the published Update report, copies of which were provided to Committee Members and the public gallery prior to commencement of the meeting.
At the invitation of the Chairman, Mr. C. Grant, the Applicant addressed the Committee. Councillor G.N. Denaro, in whose Ward the application site was located, also addressed the Committee.
The Committee then considered the Application, which had been recommended for refusal by Officers. Having noted the Officers report and having seen the extent and height of the hedging that had been provided as boundary treatment on a Site Visit, Members were of the view that, whilst they acknowledged the imposition of the obscure glazing of all three windows in the original planning permission had been appropriate at the time, this was no longer the case in that they considered that any overlooking from the bedroom window would be minimal due to the considerable height of the trees which were close to reaching the same level as the eaves height of the approved extension.
The Committee was therefore minded to allow the modification of Condition 3 as detailed in the report. Members were also minded to amend Condition 4 to remove the implemented section of the Condition but retain the section relating to replacement of species and Condition 5 to maintain the height of the trees at eaves height.
RESOLVED that planning permission be granted, to amend Conditions 3, 4 and 5 attached to Planning Permission 2009/0509, as detailed below:
“3). The first floor windows to the north-west facing elevation of the approved extension shall have a top hung casement opening only, two of these windows shall be obscure glazed, the bedroom window shall be clear glazed, and shall remain so in perpetuity unless agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
4) Any trees / hedgerows removed, dying, being severely damaged or becoming seriously diseased shall be replaced by plants of similar size and species to those originally planted.
5) The trees/hedgerow required under Condition 5 shall be maintained at a height no less than the eaves height of the approved extension.” |

Minutes: Officers reported on further representations received from the Council’s Climate Change Officer and Worcestershire Regulatory Services – Air Quality, together with Officer responses and proposals for two amended Conditions, an additional Condition and two additional informatives, all as detailed in the published Update Report, copies of which were provided to Committee Members and the public gallery prior to commencement of the meeting.
