Construction of parking area and loft conversion

The Committee had no objections to this application subject to:

  • The dividing walls to have natural (preferably local) stone façade (not rendered), consistent with the front walls. This will replace the flint walls that have been removed without prior planning permission.
  • The surface of the parking area to be of permeable construction.

The Committee expressed concern regarding the height of the dividing wall with 4 Highfield Terrace and suggested that the wall be to the patio level with a railing in order to facilitate a clear view of approaching traffic (refer to Highways).

The Committee also expressed concern regarding the lack of a (fire) door at the bottom of the stairs to the loft conversion.

Retention of parking area to front garden and alteration to levels

(The Committee queried the use of the word ‘retention’ which suggests that there was already a parking area in situ.)

The Committee had no objections to this application subject to:

  • The dividing walls to have natural (preferably local) stone façade (not rendered), consistent with the front walls. This will replace the flint walls that have been removed without prior planning permission.
  • The surface of the parking area to be of permeable construction.
