Application Number: 19/P3985                  Ward: Dundonald

Officer Recommendation: Grant Variation of Condition

PAC Resolved that Application 19/P3985 is: Granted Variation of Condition

Proposal: Application for variation of condition 2 (approved plans) attached to LBM planning permission 19/P0597 relating to the conversion of existing ground floor flat to create 1 x one bedroom flat and 1 x studio flat. Demolition of existing rear extension and replacement with full width single storey rear extension.

The Committee noted the officer’s report and presentation.

An Objector could not be present and asked for a statement to be read out. This covered points including:

·         The Planning Officer’s report contains material errors. Serious difficulties with design and construction are not addressed.

·         The plans and descriptions are inadequate, and do not provide sufficient information on which to make a decision. Key features have been left out. The errors and omissions suggest major changes are involved, making it impossible to determine whether the application adheres to planning rules.

·         The construction difficulties are due to the differences in internal floor levels within the two flats.

·         There is contradictory information given about the height of the extension

·         This extension compromises the structural integrity of the building and the adjacent houses.

RESOLVED

The Committee voted to GRANT Variation of Condition, subject to conditions
