The minutes of the East Buckinghamshire Area Planning Committee meeting held on 31 May 2022 were agreed as a correct record.

Single storey front extension to the property and resurfacing of front garden.

This application was the subject of a site visit.

Members voted unanimously in favour of the motion to refuse the application for the following reason:

1.      The application property comprises an end of terrace dwelling sited in a row of similar properties with a linear form and consistent front building line. By reason of its scale and siting, forward of the principal elevation, the proposed extension would appear as an odd and discordant addition to the building at odds with its linear form and front building line. The extension would therefore appear as an overly prominent and intrusive addition and would adversely affect the character and appearance of the area. This refers to policies GC1, H13, H15 CS20 and section 12 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

Speaking in objection: Mr P Porter, Mr P Bolden, Mrs M Bolden

Speaking as applicant: Mr S Tideswell

It was proposed by Councillor J MacBean and seconded by Councillor M Stannard.

Resolved: that the application be refused for the reasons given above.
