Application
for the extension of the existing balcony on the front elevation of the
property
a) The
Planning Manager explained the background of the application, noting that this was
an application to extend the current balcony approximately 2m around the front
elevation and gable end of the property around the existing dining room and
lounge. It was noted that the balcony would be
constructed from a steel frame, with glazed panels and a timber board floor. It
was reiterated that the property was a single-storey
house located on a slope on a junction within a residential area of the town of
Caernarfon. A public road surrounds three sides of the property.
It was highlighted that the application was being submitted to
the Planning Committee as the applicant was related to a Member of the Planning
Committee.
It was considered that the proposal was suitable for the site
and for the dwelling in terms of size and design and therefore complied with
the requirements of policies PCYFF 2, 3 and PS5. It was not
considered that it would have a substantially greater impact on any
nearby property or have a substantially greater impact on the area's amenities.
Therefore, the proposal complies with the requirements of local and national
policy.
b) Taking
advantage of the right to speak, the Local Member made the following points:
·
That this
was an application to extend the balcony and that the main considerations would
be the loss of privacy of others due to overlooking - it was expressed that
there would be no overlooking onto nearby property from this property
·
That the
view from the property overlooked the Menai Straits,
therefore, it would be appropriate to take advantage of that
·
Supported
the recommendation
·
That clarity
was needed on the Welsh Water note
c) In response to a question regarding the Welsh Water note, it was noted
that this was a 'note' and not a 'condition' and that it was a general note to
raise the applicant's awareness
(ch) It was proposed
and seconded to approve the application
