A householder planning application for the construction of two storey side extension with garage, and front and rear dormer windows at 204 Moore Avenue, Bradford - 19/02743/HOU.

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and reported that the application related to the left hand half of a two storey semi-detached house that faced towards Moore Avenue.  The dwelling was set behind a 2m high hedge and had a driveway up the side of the house.  Number 204 and its other half, 202, were on the corner of Moore Avenue and Poplar Road. 

It was reported that the house was set in a good sized plot with garden to the front, rear and side.  A garage formerly stood on the land to side of the house.  Planning permission had previously been granted for a two storey side extension but this had not been constructed. The proposal was to erect a two storey side extension and install dormer windows to the front and rear roof slopes.

The applicant attended the meeting and spoke in support of his application.

It was reported that four representations had been received including one from a Ward Councillor. Summary of the representations included visual amenity, residential amenity, impact on highway safety and other matters.

Members were informed that the proposal was acceptable in principle and would have no significant adverse impact on nearby residents.  The size and design of the proposed development complied with the relevant policies and guidance contained in Core Strategy Polices.

The Strategic Director, Place gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He informed Members that the application was before them due to the applicant being related to a serving Councillor.  He added that whilst his report stated there were no off street parking spaces provided as part of the application, plans submitted by the applicant showed there were some off street parking spaces available, but as they were outside the red line boundary of the application site, they could not be conditioned as part of this application.
