This application related to retrospective approval to retain a log cabin.
Councillor Caine spoke as a local member – local residents were concerned about the buildings – should be conditioned to not be able to be sold off separately and PD rights for further buildings should be removed.
Councillor Heseltine commented that it could be seen, but queried if there were sufficient reasons to refuse?
Councillor Mason stated there was no room for further buildings, but there were no neighbour comments and it was located within a walled garden.
Councillor Cope was concerned about over development.
Councillor Lees commented it was difficult to object to the proposal and there was no reason to refuse.
Councillor Spencer commented that neighbour’s amenity should be protected, whether there were any objections or not.
Councillor Steel noted the log cabin was within 1m of the neighbour and moved a motion to refuse on the grounds of over development of the site and impact on neighbours’ amenity, contrary to Policy EQ9.
This was seconded by Councillor Spencer.
Councillor Reade noted it complied with space about dwellings guidelines, so there were no reasons for refusal, and there were many other similar structures closer to the Parkway.
RESOLVED: that the application be refused on the following grounds:
1. The proposed log cabin represents over development of the site and would be likely to prejudice the amenity of adjoining properties, contrary to Policy EQ9 of the Local Plan.
19/00819/FUL – 5 ORCHARD CLOSE, COVEN, WV9 5AS – APPLICANT – MRS ALICIA PAYTON – PARISH – BREWOOD AND COVEN
Wendy Jones spoke against the application.
Councillor Wendy Sutton spoke on behalf of Councillor Bolton, as a local member. The proposal was unacceptable in terms of the impact on the light of the neighbour, will mean artificial light will need to used on the hall, stairs and landing and the openness of the cul-de-sac will be further reduced.
Councillors noted that other properties in Orchard Close had been extended in a similar way.
RESOLVED: that the application be approved subject to the conditions contained in the Planning Officer’s report to Committee.
