Additional documents:

Minutes:

Replacement of the existing single glazed metal windows with aluminium framed double glazed windows.

 

(Planning application number: P2016/0529/FUL)

 

In the discussion the following points were made:

·         The difference in the thickness and depth of the existing and proposed window frames was considered. Officers stated that any difference in thickness would be marginal. Concern was raised that it was not possible to tell this from the drawings and the sample shown to the committee was not a sample of a window that would be used.

·         The planning officer stated that the material the frames would be made from was powder coated aluminium.

·         Concern was raised that there appeared to have been a lack of public consultation.

 

Councillor Klute proposed a motion to defer the consideration of this application due to inaccurate drawings and an insufficient sample meaning the sub-committee did not have accurate information on which to make a decision. The drawings presented to a future sub-committee meeting should include a side by side comparison between the existing and proposed windows and a drawing detailing how an installed window would look. In addition, the applicant was asked to consider other finishes for the frames and do more consultation. This was seconded by Councillor Nick Ward and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

That consideration of the application be deferred for the reasons outlined above.

(Planning application number: P2016/1791/FUL)

·         The planning officer confirmed that the parapet would be raised by 300mm.

·         Concern was raised that the drawing containing the details of the refuse store was incorrect as the details had not yet been agreed and it was possible the refuse store could be reconfigured.

·         The committee requested details about the previous scheme. The planning officer advised that the previous scheme had been refused due to design, its height and having a terrace on top.

 

Councillor Donovan proposed a motion to defer the consideration of the application to enable the drawings of the previous scheme to be shown to members, to require more accurate details on the refuse store to be submitted and for planning officers to directly address all the objections listed in the officer report.
