The Interim Development Manager, Abby Fettes introduced the part retrospective application for the erection of a rear conservatory and detached greenhouse.

The following people addressed the Committee:

A member of the public, Mr Wengraf, had been registered to speak however he confirmed that he was only observing and would not address the Committee.

Mrs Fettes continued with the presentation and outlined the reasons that officers felt the application was considered to be acceptable, along with the policies it complied with.  She advised that the recommendation was one of approval, subject to the conditions outlined in the report

Councillor Beaney confirmed he had no issue with the conservatory, however, he raised a concern relating to light pollution within the greenhouse, at night, and therefore requested that permitted development rights be removed.

Councillor Haine asked the planning officer if this request would be in order and she confirmed this would be acceptable.

Councillor Wilson confirmed he was in the same mind set as Councillor Beaney.

Councillor Postan proposed that the Officers recommendation should be accepted with an additional condition removing permitted development rights.

Councillor Beaney seconded the proposal.

Councillor Jackson confirmed he was content with the oak framing and could not see an issue with the application.

The Officers’ recommendation of approval, subject to an additional condition relating to the removal of permitted development rights, was put to the vote, and carried unanimously.

Councillor Beaney noted that condition seven in the report related to planting and future planting. He also asked for clarification as to whether the archaeological report needed to be a condition.
