Application for single storey detached dwelling.

Late items received after preparation of main agenda:

Consultation:-

Representation received raising the following points:

·         Boundary line in wrong place

·         Boundary fence previously moved to accommodate a conifer tree, tree now removed and so fence should be moved to previous position

·         Covenant on land preventing building

Officer comment:

The above points raised are considered to be civil matters. A covenant on the land, if this exists, does not prevent planning permission being granted. With regards to the boundary, the Council takes the submitted red line boundary on the location plan to be correct, with a signed certificate provided as part of the application form. Should the boundary prove to be incorrect, the applicant cannot rely on any permission and a new application should be submitted to regularise the boundary line.
