Construction of single classroom extension located at first floor level over part of an existing terrace.

RECOMMENDATION: grant permission subject to conditions.

The Committee considered a report on the application to grant planning permission for the construction of a single classroom extension located at first floor level over part of an existing terrace. The report set out details of the proposal, the site and surroundings, planning history, relevant planning policy, consultation and responses, analysis, equalities and human rights implications and recommended to grant permission subject to conditions.

The planning officer gave a short presentation highlighting the key aspects of the report.

The Committee raised concern over the non attendance of a representative for the applicant to answer any questions regarding the application and the quality of pictures provided within the report pack. Officers apologised for the oversight in not inviting the applicant in this instance and agreed to discuss with the Council’s Education Team the securing of attendance for future school applications. With regards to drawings provided, a particular standard could not be insisted on although this point would also be fed back to the education team.

Officers agreed to secure under condition the tying in of the extension with the existing building.  

The Chair moved the recommendation of the report including the additional condition above and it was
