An objector and the agent spoke on this application.

Notwithstanding the officer’s recommendation that permission be granted, Councillor Flemming, seconded by Councillor Bray, proposed that permission be refused due to the impact on neighbours, being out of keeping with the streetscene and not complementing the surrounding area.

Councillor Lynch, seconded by Councillor Sheppard-Bools, proposed that the application be deferred to allow for further discussion with the applicant to mitigate objections in relation to the impact on neighbours. Councillor Flemming and Councillor Bray subsequently withdrew their original motion in order to support the motion to defer the application.

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

RESOLVED – the application be deferred for further discussion with the applicant.
