Ms Karilyn Thompson
85 Westholme Road, B50 4AN
Amendment to previously approved scheme 07/01811/FUL addition of no. 3 rooflights on front elevation and no. 7 on rear elevation, removal of window on south-east elevation, changes to fenestration, raising of roof and extension of utility.
RESOLVED - The Parish Council strongly objects on the following grounds: The current building differs greatly from the plans presented under application 07/01811/FUL and for which permission was granted; When commenting on the original application, the Parish Council made it absolutely clear that the building control should carry out regular inspections to ensure the skyline was as per the proposal i.e., no higher that the neighbouring dwellings: this has clearly not occurred and the skyline, as is confirmed by the new application, IS higher than the neighbouring dwellings
These breaches were reported by the Parish Council in February 2009, and the applicants had ample time to present amendments to the plans BEFORE the building work was completed. This clearly did not occur despite, the Parish Council understands, a number of assurances. It would appear the applicants waited until the building was completed and the house lived in, before sending in a fresh application validated on 22 January 2010. The Parish Council believes this undermines the planning system and the planning authority and that this failure to act promptly should be considered as a material consideration.

Mr James Wilson
Old Railway Yard, Waterloo Road – amendment to the original application
Change of use to residential caravan site for 6 gypsy families with a total of 12 caravans (6 static homes and 6 touring caravans) and associated works : this is a revised description reducing the numbers from 7 to 6, and a revised block plan showing detailed layout, access, hardstandings, caravan locations and parking
Objection due to the following reasons: The Council considered it is still an overdevelopment and do not consider the reduction from 7 to 6 sufficient to make a difference. The amended plan does not differ sufficiently from the original one presented at the Planning Committee in March 2009 for it to be considered 'comprehensive'. The area marked out for a future erection of an amenity building is far too small for 6 families; from the plan it would appear to be of a similar size as one of the touring caravans. The issue of vehicles has not been addressed. At the Planning committee Meeting in March the Parish drew attention to the issue of where will they park the 14 (now 12) vehicles: 1 per touring caravan plus another for daily use. The Council has requested it be brought to Committee again.
