The Development Management and Building Control Contract Manager summarised the two applications, as detailed in the reports attached to the agenda.
Members questioned officers on:
The reasons why the applications had been brought to Committee Why the recommendation from officers was to refuse both applications
Mr Charles Boyle spoke in favour of both applications
Members questioned Mr Boyle on:
The dimensions of the proposed orangery The materials being used Fencing used along the street side of the property The massing of the new orangery and the insulation benefits it would bring
Members discussed:
Hart’s many listed properties and that these would fall into disrepair unless investment was made by homeowners who might like to extend their property That there needed to be a sympathetic approach wherever possible to homeowners wishing to make improvements in keeping with the style of the original building That Hart’s officers had been correct in bringing their concerns to the Committee for further discussion, which had proven useful That there would be no policy change arising from any decision made on this application.
Proposed by: Cllr Oliver; Seconded by: Cllr Cockarill
There were no votes for refusal of the application
The Committee unanimously voted against the refusal by a show of hands.
An alternative proposal was made by the Development Management and Building Control Manager:
“The proposal would preserve the listed building and its features of special architectural interest, it would remove an earlier harmful addition to the building which is a public benefit and the replacement of the extension would bring about insulation benefits which are a public benefit in climate change terms, these outweigh any less than substantial harm caused by the proposed additional depth and massing and intervention with historic fabric.
It was proposed that the Committee delegate power to the Executive Director to grant planning permission subject to conditions in consultation with the Chairman and the Committee Ward Councillor.”
Proposed by: Cllr Oliver; Seconded by: Cllr Dorn
