Minutes:

PROPOSAL: single storey rear extension to ground floor flat to create an additional bedroom (1 x 2 beds); external alterations (demolition of side to rear extension).

 

The Committee received representation from Sarah Greene (objector), and John McAteer (applicant), who urged the Committee to refuse and approve the application, respectively.

 

Councillor Marilyn Ashton proposed refusal for the following reasons:

 

1)              the proposed single storey rear extension, by reason of its depth and scale and close proximity to the neighbouring boundary, would result in a visually intrusive and overbearing form of development that would cause harm to the outlook of No. 80 Cunningham Park and would detract from the enjoyment of their rear amenity spaces, contrary to the high quality design aspirations of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021), Policy D1 London Plan (2021), Policy CS1 (B) of Harrow Core Strategy (2012), policy DM1 of Harrow Development Management Policies local plan (2013) and adopted Supplementary Planning Document Residential Design Guide (2010).

 

The proposal was seconded by Councillor Christopher Baxter, put to the vote and lost.

 

The Committee resolved to accept officer recommendations.

DECISION:  GRANT

 

The Committee wished it to be recorded that the decision to grant the application was by majority of votes.
