Minutes: Officers reported on two additional letters of objection received in relation to the amended plans that had been submitted, 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, Mrs. A. Pickup, the next door neighbour addressed the Committee objecting to the Application. Mr M. Lewis, the Applicant, also addressed the Committee. The Chairman further agreed to a statement being read out on behalf of Councillor P. L. Thomas, in whose Ward, the application site was located, in his absence.
The Committee then considered the Application, which had been recommended for approval by Officers. Having considered the Officer’s report and the representations made by the speakers, Members were of the view that the proposal was an over-development of the site and would have a detrimental impact on the amenities of No. 42 Marlborough Avenue in terms of loss of daylight and were therefore minded to refuse the application.
RESOLVED that Planning Permission be refused for the following reason:
The replacement dwelling would represent over-development of the plot and would have an unacceptable overbearing impact on the amenity of the occupiers at the property 42 Marlborough Avenue, due to the loss of light into the ground floor side windows and a direct outlook onto a blank elevation. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DS13 and S7 of the Bromsgrove District Local Plan and guidance contained within the Council’s adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 1: Residential Design Guide.

Minutes: This Application for Planning Permission was considered in conjunction with Item 11 on the Agenda (Listed Building Consent Application 2016/0842), The Granary, Dagnell End Road, Redditch). .
Officers reported on various additional representations and amended plans in relation to proposed parking to the north of the application site received from the Applicant with Officer responses, including the need to amend the refusal reason; a further response from Worcestershire Highways who had no objection to the proposal; and clarification that Councillor J.M.L.A. Griffiths, in whose Ward the Application site was located, had called in the proposal for the Committee to determine, all as detailed in the published Update Report, copies of which were circulated to Committee Members and the public gallery prior to commencement of the meeting.
At the invitation of the Chairman, Mr. I. Johnson, the Applicant, and Mrs. E. Mitchell, the Applicant’s Agent, addressed the Committee. Councillor J. M. L. A. Griffiths also addressed the Committee on the matter. i
RESOLVED that Planning Permission be refused for the following amended reason:
The proposed extension would not respect the architectural character or setting of the Listed Building by virtue of its position, design, size, height and materials, and would result in a highly visible, dominant structure, out of scale with the building. The matters raised by the Applicant do not justify the clear harm to the character and setting of the Listed building. Therefore, the proposal would result in harm to a designated heritage asset contrary to Section 16 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Area) Act 1990, Policy S39 of the Bromsgrove District Local Plan 2004, the guidance of SPG 4 (Converted Rural Buildings) and paragraphs 132 – 134 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
