iii) DCNE2008/0769/F - Convert loft space into living accommodation in conjunction with replacement rear extension and garage extension.at Westwood,Shelsley Drive,Upper Colwall

Applicant:P West

Agent: M Gent

 

At this point the meeting was adjourned to allow members of the public to speak.

Upon recommencement of the meeting IT WAS RESOLVED that no objections would be made to this application but the following comments are to be submitted to Herefordshire Council for consideration.

 

There appears to be a fundamental mis-descripton in this application. This is a not a loft conversion but a significant extension to the existing property whereby the roofline is being raised considerably above the existing roofline.

 

Councillor Leaper abstained from voting on this application.

 

iv) DCNE2008/0840/F - Proposed complete first floor extension with single storey rear extension at Hentland, Evendine Lane, Colwall Green

Applicant: T Breeze-Stringfellow and L Howard

Agent: Meredith Architect & Design.

 

At this point the meeting was adjourned to allow members of the public to speak.

Upon recommencement of the meeting IT WAS RESOLVED that Council objects to this application and adds the following comments.

 

The proposed extension appears to breach UDP Policy 18-

Whereby the proposal would dominant the original building.

It is not in keeping with the character of the existing dwelling and its surroundings in terms of scale, mass, siting, detailed design and materials.

It would adversely impact on the privacy and amenity of occupiers of neighbouring residential property.

 

In addition to the points raised above, it would fundamentally alter the street scene in an area which is designated an AONB.

 

Councillor Haynes abstained from voting on this application.

 

5.                  Correspondence

Letter from Herefordshire Council regarding the proposed introduction of waiting restrictions along West Malvern Road and Beacon Road.

IT WAS AGREED that as the proposals are inline with Colwall Parish Councils comments submitted on the 3rd December 2007, no further comments would be submitted and Herefordshire Council would therefore assume the Colwall Parish Councils support of the extended restrictions.
