The Committee considered the written report and recommendation from the Head of Planning to grant permission.

The Committee received supplementary information, circulated prior to the meeting, which included written statements submitted by Councill Hughes and Mr and Mrs Woolridge.

During the meeting the Committee was advised of an objection received after the report was published, which raised no new additional issues.

The Committee was addressed by:

1.                  Mr Woolridge, who expanded on the issues set out in Mr and Mrs Woolridge’s written statement.

            In response to questions from members of the Committee, Mr Woolridge advised that although he didn’t have a detailed analysis of the expected loss of power outage which would be caused by the proposal, he had undertaken a test to demonstrate that a broom head placed in front of a panel would result in a 200 watt loss of performance. He reminded the Committee that the broom test was referred to in Councillor Hughes’s submitted statement

2.                  Councillor Diamond, who, in the absence of Councillor Hughes, recited Councillor Hughes’s written statement. After finishing her deputation Councillor Diamond returned to the public gallery and did not take part in the ensuing debate or vote.

In response to questions from members of the Committee, officers:

a.                  The applicant had provided an Annual Probable Sunlight Hours (APSH), in accordance with BRE guidelines, to gauge whether the proposal would result in a reduction of 10% or less of sunlight hours. The report concluded that there would be no reductions of 10% or greater and no further assessments were required; 

b.                  Although there were other methods available to estimate the loss of sunlight hours, the method submitted by the applicant was acceptable; and

c.                   Although the proposal would have an impact on the solar panels on the attached roof slope of 32 Deverell Place, it was considered that this impact was not sufficient to warrant a refusal of planning permission on these grounds.

During the debate the Committee was advised of the scope of the development that could be constructed under permitted development rights.

The Committee discussed the application in detail together with the views raised by deputees.

The Committee considered that the proposal was acceptable and not out of keeping with other roof alterations carried out in the local area. The Committee acknowledged that there would be an impact on the solar panels on the roof of 32 Deverell Place. However, based on the information available at the time of the meeting, it was considered that any overshadowing would not be sufficient to warrant a refusal of planning permission.

RESOLVED that application APP/22/00761 be granted permission subject to:

1          The development must be begun not later than three years beginning with the date of this permission.
