Cllr Smith joined the meeting at 19:34
It was RESOLVED: That Council objects to the application on the grounds that the extension is contrary to CLLP Policy LP26. In
particular, Council refers to the decision made in 2016 (16/1115/HOUS) to refuse an application of a very similar nature for the
same property. The effect of permitting such an extension remains the same as in 2016. The scale and position of the proposed
extension will result in a detrimental impact on the outlook of neighbouring properties as well as loss of light, loss of privacy and
overlooking.
20/1219/FUL - 6 Chichester Road – Council does not object to the application but requests that additional landscaping be included
to the front of the property as well as the suggested landscaping to the side. This would soften the visual effect of the proposed
high fencing.
20/1253/HOUS - 49 The Crescent - No comment or objections.
20/0752/FUL – Land off Canwick Avenue and Westminster Drive - Previous objections made by Parish Council still apply,
particularly in relation to the parking for plot 123. Council notes the inclusion of a swale on the southern boundary. Council also
notes the positive increase in the size of the houses.
