Rear extension with flat roof.

Members were told that the application had been brought to the Planning Committee as the property was owned by a staff member of Tendring District Council.

The Committee was informed that the application sought planning permission for the proposed flat roof rear extension.

Officers told Members that the extension would be sited to the rear of the property and was deemed by Officers to be of an acceptable size, scale and appearance with no significant adverse effects on the visual amenities of the area.

Members heard that the extension would be a single storey with a flat roof so it posed no significant threat of loss of light, privacy, outlook or amenity.

The Committee had before it the published Officer report containing the key planning issues, relevant planning policies, planning history, any response from consultees, written representations received and a recommendation of approval.

At the meeting, an oral presentation was made by the Council’s Head of Planning and Building Control in respect of the application.

There were no updates circulated to Members for this item.
