27 Hammerfield Avenue - 131159 Reference Number - 131159 Additional documents: Minutes: With reference to article 3 of the minute of meeting of the Planning Development Management Committee of 13 February 2014, wherein it had been agreed to visit the site, the Committee had before it a report by the Head of Planning and Sustainable Development which recommended:-
That the Committee approve unconditionally the application in respect of planning permission to erect an extension to the rear elevation of the property.
The Committee members were addressed by the planning officer, following which the members asked detailed questions relating to the application to the officer in attendance.
The Committee was also addressed by Councillor Yuill as local member. Councillor Yuill acknowledged that the amendments to the plans had satisfied most of the objections raised, but requested that the Committee consider adding a suitable condition to improve screening to the east of the property, and further requested that the application be deferred to allow further discussions with the applicant on how the proposal could be amended to overcome the remaining objections.
The Convener noted the comments from Councillor Yuill but moved, seconded by Councillor Jean Morrison MBE:- That the recommendation in the report be approved, subject to the addition of a suitable condition to improve screening to the rear of the property.
Councillor Jennifer Stewart moved as an amendment, seconded by Councillor Greig:- That the application be refused on the grounds of overdevelopment, loss of privacy and loss of light to neighbouring properties.
On a division, there voted:- for the motion (9) – the Convener; the Vice Convener; and Councillors Boulton, Cormie, Lawrence, Jean Morrison MBE, Sandy Stuart, Thomson and Townson; for the amendment (2) – Councillors Greig and Jennifer Stewart.
The Committee resolved:- that the application be approved, subject to the addition of a suitable condition to improve screening to the rear of the property. - RAMSAY MILNE, Convener. |
