PROPOSAL:  single storey side and rear extension to outbuilding (Retrospective)(Part Demolition of Outbuilding)(as amended by the Addendum).

Simon Joshua (objector) addressed the Committee and urged them to refuse the application.  The agent and applicant were requested to make representation.  However, they chose not to do so.

Councillor Baxter proposed refusal for the following reason:

1)              the development, by reason of its scale and coverage of the garden area, represented an over intensive use of the site, which was out of character and detrimental to the amenities of the neighbouring properties, contrary to CS1 Harrow Core Strategy (2012), DM1 and DM7 of Harrow Development Management Policies (2013) and D3 London Plan (2021).

The motion was seconded by Councillor Stevenson and agreed.

The Committee voted and resolved to refuse officer recommendations.

Councillors Parekh and Kalu voted against refusing the application.
