Agenda item - BH2023/03090 - 22 Osmond Road, Hove - Householder Planning Consent

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

Answers to Committee Member Questions

2.         Councillor Shanks was informed that the proposals included a roof space.

3.         Councillor Robinson was informed by the agent that the architect had changed, and this resulted in changes to the scheme. The roof area would be a crawl space only used for storage so was too low to provide additional living space.

4.         Councillor Loughran was informed that a materials condition was not required as the aluminium exterior finish was already indicated as matched the existing.

5.         Councillor Theobald was informed that the aluminium was powder coated to last 50/60 years of weathering.

Debate

6.         Councillor Shanks supported the application.

7.         Councillor Theobald considered that most of the development was already approved, and this was a very small change. The councillor supported the application.

8.         Councillor Robinson supported the application.

9.         Councillor Loughran did not support the application as the front elevation would have a negative impact on the townscape and the Victorian style neighbouring properties.

10.      A vote was taken, and by 9 to 1 against the committee agreed the recommendations.

11.      RESOLVED: That the Committee has taken into consideration and agrees with the reasons for the recommendation set out in the report and resolves to GRANT planning permission subject to the Conditions and Informatives in the report.
