Agenda

The minutes of the Planning Committee meeting held on 11 September 2013 are attached.

RECOMMENDED that the minutes of the Planning Committee meeting held on 11 September 2013 be agreed and signed by the chair as a correct record.

This report is to advise the committee of the outcome of the appeal.

RECOMMENDED that the report be noted.

A planning application was considered by the Planning Committee at its meeting on 27 February 2013.  The application, for the construction of a part single, part two-storey rear extension, was recommended by officers for permission.  This recommendation was overturned and the planning application was refused with the reason for refusal referring to the proposal having an overbearing relationship with neighbouring properties and resulting in an unacceptable loss of light.

The inspector considered that there would "remain a small yard between the extension to no. 35 and its garage that would be overshadowed by the first floor element of the scheme" and that …."there would be some loss of sunlight and daylight to the ground and first floor rear-facing windows and to the very small yard behind the ground floor rear room of no. 35…."

The Inspector dismissed the appeal on the basis that the proposal "would unacceptably impact on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of 35 Rugby Road, Southsea, contrary to Policy PCS23".
