Site Inspection Sub-Committee pdf icon PDF 18 KB

To receive and consider the minutes of the meeting of the Site Inspection Sub-Committee held on 17 January 2006 (enclosed).

Minutes:

The Committee received the minutes of the meeting of the Site Inspection Sub-Committee held on Monday 17 July 2006.

 

The Sub-Committee had visited, at the request of the Development Control committee, the site of the following application.

 

Planning Application 06/00469/FUL

 

The retrospective planning application 06/00469/FUL had sought permission to retain the formation of a pitched roof over an existing first floor flat roof dormer at 57, Lancaster Lane, Clayton-Le-Woods.

 

The Sub-Committee after taking all the factors into account had recommended the Development Control Committee to refuse planning permission for the retrospective proposal.

 

It was proposed by Councillor D Gee, seconded by Councillor Culshaw, and subsequently RESOLVED (11:1) to refuse the retrospective planning application for the following reason:

 

The proposed extension is contrary to the Council’s approved House Extension Design Guidelines and Policy HS9 of the Adopted Chorley Borough Local Plan Review by reason of its design and external appearance. The proposed extension is overly prominent, poorly related visually to the existing dwelling, and detrimental to the street scene and the area as a whole.
