Ward: Southwater   Applicant: Mr & Mrs Andrew and Michelle Simon

The Head of Development reported that this application sought permission for a first floor extension over an attached garage and part conversion of the garage to form habitable space, retaining the front part for storage.

The application site was located within the built-up area of Southwater to the west of Blakes Farm Road.  It was a two-storey detached house in an area of similar detached and semi-detached properties. Open land on the opposite side of the road separated the dwellings from the A24 Worthing Road.

Details of relevant government and council policies, as contained within the report, were noted by the Committee. The Parish Council had raised no objection to the application.  No other letters of representation had been received.

Members considered the officer’s planning assessment which indicated that the key issues for consideration in determining the proposal were the character and appearance of the extension and its impact on neighbouring amenity.

RESOLVED

That planning application DC/17/2409 be granted subject to the conditions and reasons as reported.
