Householder Planning Application - (i) Two storey side and rear extensions (following demolition of existing double garage) and (ii) new vehicular access

This application was referred to the Development Control Committee as the applicant was related to a member of staff.

Officers were recommending that the application be approved, subject to conditions, as set out in Paragraph 22 of Report No DEV/SE/17/030.

Attention was drawn to the supplementary papers which had been circulated in respect of this item which set out an additional condition to be added to the recommendation, together with details of a representation that had been received since the agenda was published from a neighbouring resident.

Councillor David Nettleton moved that the application be approved, as per the Officer recommendation, and this was duly seconded by Councillor Ian Houlder.

Upon being put to the vote and with the vote being unanimous, it was resolved that
