Huston Cottage Moneyrow Green Holyport

Maidenhead

SL6 2ND

Proposed roof enlargement through the enclosure within the valley of the two existing pitched roofs.

The PANEL VOTED that the application be PERMITTED, against the officer’s recommendation for the reason that the proposed extension would not result in a disproportionate addition given the built up character of the area and infilling nature of the development.

Secondly, the proposed development was considered better in design terms than the existing valley roof and more in keeping with the roof slopes of the area.

The proposal therefore complied with Polices GB1, GB2, GB3, DG1 and H14.

The conditions to be considered included:

1)Time

2)Matching Materials

3) No PD rights Class B

Reason – harm t0 the Green Belt and to protect neighbouring amenity from overlooking.

4) no side windows

The motion to approve the application against officer recommendation was put forward by Councillor Coppinger and seconded by Councillor Burbage.

(Speakers: The Panel was addressed by Mr Richard Thorley, Objector and Eric Stannard, on behalf of the Applicant).
