Item B P.36 & 37	St Margarets High Street Rottingdean Brighton BN2 7HS	BH2024/01723	Additional representations Since the officer report was published, two (2) further letters of support have been received. The points raised are already summarised in the officer report. Additional Consultee Planning Urban Design Officer – Object Generally, rooftop development such as telecommunications antennas can create unwelcome visual clutter on flat roofs; therefore, should be designed to be concealed behind façade elements/parapets/screens. Subject to technical considerations it might be possible to consider different approaches to achieving a screening strategy to lessen visual impacts.
Item C Page 54	Land Rear Of 15 Dean Court Road Rottingdean Brighton BN2 7DH	BH2024/01289	Additional representations Since the officer report was published, seven (7) further letters of objection have been received. This takes the number of objections received during the November 2024 re-consultation to nine (9). The points raised are already summarised in the officer report. The total number of individual objectors across both consultation periods remains at thirteen (13).
Item D P72	8 Stanford Close Hove BN3 6PU	BH2024/01717	Additional representations Since the officer report was published, two (2) further letters of objection have been received from the previous objectors. The points raised are already summarised in the officer report. Plans list not updated, condition 1 not affected. Amended existing front and rear elevations received 25.11.2024 to accurately include existing side dormer. Amended existing drawings are as follows: Drawing Number   Drawing Title 24-4970-P-03 A     EXISTING NORTH AND WEST ELEVATIONS 24-4970-P-04 A     EXISTING SOUTH AND EAST ELEVATIONS
Item E p.83 & 86-86	44 Saxon Road Hove BN3 4LF	BH2024/02094	Amendment to paragraph 4.2 The scheme originally approved under BH2023/02990 permitted a single storey front extension to be finished in white render whilst retaining the red brickwork base to the northern part of the property. This application seeks to vary the approved drawings to include the provision of render to the sections of red brick to the front and side elevations of the property and to retain the grey tiling to the front elevation projecting bay. Amendment to paragraph 9.8 The property is not located within an area covered by an Article 4 Direction relating to alterations and extensions of dwellinghouses and its permitted development rights for alterations to the external appearance of the building have not been removed.  The change from brick to render would not require a planning application once the development approved under BH2023/02990 is completed and therefore this is a material consideration in determining this application. It is noted that the applicant during the course of works has changed the roof tiles to the main house to grey. This is considered to be permitted development under Class C of the GPDO. It is also of note that the front projecting bay has also had it’s tiles changed to grey. Whilst the changing of the bay tiles is not permitted development and therefore falls to be considered under this application, given that they match the otherwise permitted roof tiles, no concerns are raised in this particular regards.
