Application for detached garage.

‘Late items:’

Consultations:-

An additional neighbour letter has been received raising the additional following comments:-

1) Details of how the applicant proposes to create a finished floor level to match the rear of the application site

2) Change of levels across the site could undermine neighbouring properties

3)  Noise and nuisance is experienced due to trading of vehicles at the property

Appraisal:-

Condition 3, requires that prior to commencement of the development, details of the existing and proposed ground levels of the site, and the proposed finished floor levels of the garage are to be submitted and agreed prior to any development being permitted, to ensure that the levels are maintained and acceptable.

Other matters

Any damage to neighbouring properties or any third party land, would be a civil matter, and would not be a material planning consideration which could be taken into account as part of this application, and would be perused under separate legislation.

This application has been submitted as a householder application, and therefore the use is contained to be incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling and for no other purposes. Any unauthorised change of use would be subject to further investigation.

Recommendation:-

The recommendation remains to grant planning permission subject to the details outlined in the original Planning Committee Report.

Application for a detached garage.

Whilst generally in support of the application, concern was expressed about the size of the garage. It was moved by Councillor Allen and seconded by Councillor Cartwright that a condition be added to restrict the use to that ancillary to the domestic use of the home and not for commercial purposes.

Upon being put to the vote, the motion was CARRIED and it was

RESOLVED – permission be granted subject to the conditions contained in the officer’s report and an additional condition to prevent commercial use.
