PROPOSAL: Retrospective application for erection of single storey rear extension together with erection of dormer windows to front and both side elevations, installation of rooflights and alterations to roof to facilitate loft conversion, following demolition of existing conservatory

It was proposed by the Chairman and seconded by Councillor Rusiecki:

“THAT the officer’s recommendation be adopted, namely:

‘That the application be REFUSED for the following reason:

1  The development, by virtue of the considerable size and prominent siting of the north-eastern dormer window, together with the colour and finish of the cladding to all dormers, results in a visually intrusive, incongruous and discordant form of development, which is architecturally unrelated to the application property, and unduly disrupts the consistency in terms of the scale, form, design and material finish to the row of bungalows within which the application property is sited, severely detrimental to the character and appearance of the area, and contrary to Policy D1 of the Thanet Local Plan, Policy QD02 of the Draft Thanet Local Plan, and paragraphs 127 and 130 of the National Planning Policy Framework.’”
