Decision details

Application for variation of conditions 1 and 4 of planning permission 16/00027/CONDIT to add 1 window to rear elevation and 8 roof lights and accommodation within roof space (retrospective).

Notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation that the application be approved, it was moved by Councillor Witherford and seconded by Councillor Crooks that the application be refused.

Following further discussion, Councillor Roberts proposed that all new windows and roof lights be opaque and fixed. In the absence of a seconder, the motion was not pursued.

It was subsequently moved by Councillor Wright and seconded by Councillor Roberts that the two roof lights to the rear of the property serving the bedroom only be opaque and fixed.

Being the first valid motion, a vote was taken upon the proposal to refuse permission which was LOST.

Councillor Boothby proposed an amendment to Councillor Wright’s motion that members be kept updated with regard to compliance with the conditions. This was accepted by the mover and seconder of the motion.

A vote was then taken on the amended motion to amend the conditions to require the two roof lights to be opaque and fixed. Upon being put to the vote, the motion was CARRIED and it was

RESOLVED –

(i)            permission be granted with the abovementioned amendment;

(ii)           Members be updated with regard to compliance with the conditions.
