Planning Application 15/01379/FUL - Shearstone, Silver Street, East Lambrook

Minutes:

Proposal: Install a dual pitch roof to replace an existing flat roof and erect a rear extension.

 

The Planning Assistant presented the application as detailed in the agenda report. He highlighted to members the application was at committee solely due to the applicant’s position within SSDC and not for any planning reason. It was noted that the installation of a dual pitched roof was considered to be beneficial in terms of design and character of the property within a Conservation Area.

 

Ward member, Councillor Derek Yeomans, noted this was a common-sense and acceptable application, and he supported the application.

 

There being no further discussion it was proposed to approve the application, as per the officer recommendation, and on being put to the vote, the proposal was carried unanimously.
