Minutes:

The Strategic Director, Regeneration presented Document “E”.  Plans and photographs were displayed in respect of each application and representations summarised.

 

(a)  147 Mayo Avenue, Bradford                                                                 Wibsey

 

A full planning application for the change of the roof line from hipped to gable and front and rear box style dormer windows at 147 Mayo Avenue, Bradford - 16/06956/HOU

 

The Strategic Director, Regeneration gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the application was for a hip to gable roof conversion and rear box style dormer windows.  The street scene was uniform with semi detached houses, however, the application property was a different design.  Representations in objection and support had been submitted and were detailed in the report.  The Strategic Director, Regeneration informed the Panel that the majority of the work proposed could be undertaken under permitted development rights and planning permission was only required for the front dormer window, which had been designed in accordance with Council policies.  He acknowledged that there were not many other dormers in the street scene, however, each application had to be judged on its own merits.  The proposed dormer was acceptable and in line with Council policies and was therefore recommended for approval, subject to the conditions as set out in the report.

 

The applicant was present at the meeting and made the following comments:

 

·         He had purchased the property this year and did not want to spoil its character.

·         The same materials would be used.

·         He needed the additional space for his growing family but could not afford to build an extension.

·         The changes would not have a great impact.

 

A Ward Councillor was present at the meeting and stated that:

 

·         He was objecting on behalf of the adjoining and rear neighbours to the roof extension.

·         The houses were over 100 years old and unique.

·         He understood that the applicant did not want to change the character of the house, however, the proposals would do so.

·         Neighbours sympathised that the applicant wished to utilise the attic space, but this could be undertaken without making the proposed changes and had been done by the neighbours.

·         The proposal would affect the character of the street due to the change in nature of the roofline.

·         The neighbour to the rear was concerned that the dormer would overlook his property.

 

Resolved –

 

That the application be approved for the reasons and subject to the conditions set out in the Strategic Director, Regeneration’s technical report.

 

Action: Strategic Director, Regeneration

The Strategic Director, Regeneration gave a presentation setting out the proposals and tabled plans detailing the layout.  He explained that the application proposed the construction of a new property in the side garden of a house that was located with other mature dwellings.  The development had been amended and was now sited further away from the existing  ...  view the full minutes text for item 16.
