10 Other Planning Business

11 Planning Applications Considered Outside of A Meeting

11.1 23/01118/PAE - Ashley Little Browns Lane TN8 6LJ

Prior notification of a single storey rear extension which extends 8m beyond the rear wall of the original dwelling house with a maximum height of 3.98m and eaves height of 2.84m.

Recommendation: Members objected to this application

Members commented that it was inappropriate to add a large extension to the property by prior notification. The size of the building would have an impact on the openness of the Greenbelt and would be incompatible with the street scene.
