Maidenhead

Construction of detached dwelling.

 

The PANEL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY that the application be APPROVED against the Planning Officer’s report for the reasons listed below:

 

·         The Panel considered that due to existing flood defences a flood evacuation plan was appropriate in relation to safety for the occupants of the development for its lifetime, and the flood compensation scheme provided a benefit for the wider locality.

 

·         The house would be set back within a spacious plot and views from a public vantage point would be limited, and so there was no unreasonable harm to character of the area.

 

·         The Panel also agreed that due to the siting of the proposed house there would be no undue overlooking to neighbouring sites.

 

·         Standard conditions with additional condition for flood evacuation plan were delegated to Borough Planning Manager.

 

(Speakers: The Panel was addressed by Matt Taylor, the applicants agent).
