CASE OFFICER

Claudia Hurlock

Members carefully considered the officer’s report and the representations received in respect of this application.  It is considered that the proposed front gable feature would be sympathetic to that on the existing building and would closely reflect others in the surrounding Area of Special Character.  As such the proposal would comply with policies E1 and E4 of the Revised Local Plan 2016.

In relation to the effect on the occupants of No.39 Bishops Way, the relationship of the proposal to this property would not result in an excessive amount of visual dominance for the occupants of this property and as such the proposal would comply with policy LHW4 of the Revised Local Plan 2016.
