1.       The Planning Manager introduced the application to the committee.

Answers to Committee Member Questions

2.       Councillor Theobald was informed by the case officer that three trees would be impacted by the works, two holly and one Swedish white beam tree. It was noted there have been two recent refusals for two houses, which were considered too cramped on the small site which would impact on the amenities of future owners. This application has reduced the height and mass of the development to reduce the impact on the neighbours.

3.       Councillor Littman was informed that the design officer has left the council but had confirmed verbally that all the previous issues have been addressed.

Debate
