A25/17 PLANNING APPLICATIONS FOR DECISION

6.1 16/05868/FUL 240A Wickham Road, Croydon CR0 8BJ
Erection of part single/two storey, first floor extensions and creation of a flat roof single storey link extension
Ward: Heathfield
 

This application was deferred at the meeting on 9 February, for a site visit, which 4 of this evening's Committee had attended.

 

Mrs Eminy Mustafa, resident in a neighbouring property, spoke in objection

Mr Richard Turnbull (Fuller Long Planning Consultants) spoke as the agent, on behalf of the applicant

 

After the Committee considered the officer's report, Councillor Paul Scott proposed and Councillor Humayun Kabir seconded the officer's recommendation and the Committee voted 4 in favour, with 1 abstention, so permission was GRANTED for development at 240A Wickham Road, Croydon CR0 8BJ, with an added condition that permitted development rights be removed from the new extension.  However, this additional condition is considered unreasonable and unnecessary, as the permitted development rights would not apply to the proposal as it would not have been in use prior to 19th March 2014. As such the decision cannot be issued with the requested condition.
