22/00364/FUL, Flat D, 32 Percy Gardens, Tynemouth PDF 606 KB To determine a full planning application from Mr Stephen Mayne for a new balcony terrace area. Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered a report from the planning officers, together with an addendum circulated prior to the meeting, in relation to a full planning application from Mr Stephen Mayne for a new balcony terrace area.
A planning officer presented details of the application with the aid of various maps, plans and photographs.
In accordance with the Committee’s Speaking Rights Scheme David Purvis of Percy Gardens, Tynemouth had been granted permission to speak to the Committee. He outlined his objection to the application on the grounds that the proposed balcony would be invasive to his and his wife’s privacy. With the aid of photographs taken from his property he explained that users of the balcony would be able to see into the bedroom and bathroom of his property. This was contrary to policies DM 6.1 and DM 6.2 of the Local Plan in terms of new development demonstrating a positive relationship with neighbouring buildings and its impact on the privacy of adjacent properties. Mr Purvis was also concerned about the potential for noise disturbance from users of the balcony and the impact on his mental health.
The applicant, Stephen Mayne, addressed the Committee to respond to the speakers’ comments. He explained that the design of the proposed balcony had been shortened to minimise its impact on 31 Percy Gardens and aluminium windows were to be installed at the request of the Design Officer. Regardless of the outcome of the application, the roof and cornice of 32 Percy Gardens needed to be replaced but this would only be completed if scaffolding were erected for the construction of the balcony.
Members of the Committee asked questions of David Purvis, Stephen Mayne and officers and made comments. In doing so the Committee gave particular consideration to: a) the exact location of the proposed balcony and its distance from adjacent properties; b) the impact of the proposed development on the privacy of residents living in adjacent properties; c) the reasons why the planning officers had rejected the option to install 1.8m side screens to the balcony on the grounds of their impact on the character and appearance of the conservation area; and c) Paragraph 206 of the National Planning Policy Framework and Policy DM6.2 of the Local Plan and the impact of the development on the character and appearance of the Tynemouth Conservation Area.
Resolved that the application be permitted subject to the conditions set out in the planning officers report.
(Reasons for decision: The Committee concluded that, having regard to the relevant policies contained in the Council’s Local Plan 2017 and National Planning Policy Framework, the proposed development was acceptable in terms of its impact on character and appearance of the Tynemouth Conservation Area and on the amenity and privacy of neighbouring residents.)
