The proposal was for planning permission to demolish the existing dwelling and attached garage and the erection of a detached house and garage.

The item had been deferred from the meeting of the Committee on 20 September 2012, together with the application for Conservation Area Consent, in order for the applicant to produce a full structural survey. Members had believed information on the structural soundness of existing buildings was required before a decision could be made, due to the weight put on this matter by the public speakers.

Members’ attention was drawn to the tabled Late Observations sheet. There were no public speakers on the item. Officers advised that in view of the decision on the Conservation Area Consent application there was no longer an objection to the development.

It was suggested the new building could contribute and enhance the local conservation area.

It was MOVED by the Chairman and was duly seconded:

“That planning permission be GRANTED. Any conditions to be agreed by Officers with local Members.”

The motion was put to the vote and there voted –

9 votes in favour of the motion

2 votes against the motion

Resolved: That planning permission be GRANTED. Any conditions to be agreed by Officers with local Members.
