Application: 2020/0485/HPA

Location: 29 Broad Lane, Cawood, Selby

Proposal: Alterations to roof of existing garage to provide additional living accommodation and single storey extension to rear

 

The Planning Officer presented the application which had been brought before Planning Committee at the discretion of the Head of Planning as 10 letters of representation had been received which raised material planning considerations, and Officers would otherwise determine the application contrary to these representations.

 

The Committee noted that the application was for alterations to the roof of an existing garage to provide additional living accommodation and a single storey extension to the rear.

 

In response to a question from Members, the Planning Officer confirmed that any resubmission of a previous 2016 lapsed permission for a detached annex application would need to be reassessed. The Officer also confirmed that should the proposals before Members be built in two separate phases, this would constitute permitted development. In addition, Members asked questions relating to gable end elevations and the siting of windows.

 

An Officer Update Note had been circulated which set out further details of comments received from the Drainage Board and a number of additional representations from members of the public who had previously objected to the application. It was not felt that the additional representations raised any material planning considerations further than those considered in the Officer’s report.

 

A letter from the applicant had also been received and circulated to Members, which made reference to the extant permission for the single storey extension and the advice received under PD/2020/0079. The letter also stated that works had started on site for the elements that could be constructed without further permission, as the footprint was the same.

 

Officers confirmed it was not considered that any material planning considerations had been raised as a result of these representations which would warrant the refusal of the application.

 

Claire Richards, agent, was invited remotely into the meeting and spoke in support of the application.

 

Due to technical difficulties Robina Hodgson, objector, was unable to access the remote meeting. As a result, the representation submitted by the objector was read out in full by Democratic Services to the meeting.

 

The Committee considered the application and felt that the objections submitted to the application did not have substance as planning matters, and agreed that a detailed assessment of the application had been undertaken by Officers and that the proposals were acceptable.

 

It was proposed and seconded that the application be approved subject to conditions; a vote was taken on the proposal and was carried.

 

RESOLVED:

To APPROVE the application subject to the conditions set out at paragraph 7 of the report.
