(ii)        No. 82 Southwood Road, Farnborough –

The Committee considered the Head of Planning’s Report No. PLN1654 regarding the erection of a front extension at No. 82 Southwood Road, Farnborough. The alleged breach was that the extension was slightly above the permitted development allowance for a porch. The property owners had not been aware that permission was required and had been invited to submit a retrospective planning application. To date, no planning application had been submitted.

It was noted that the property was a mid-terraced two-storey, double fronted house. The front extension was approximately four metres in height and had a slightly more than three square metres external area. The extension had been built in a matching red brick with buff decorative brickwork around the door and had matching roof tiles. The extension was visually compatible with the house. Members were advised that, had an application been submitted, the recommendation would have been to grant planning permission.

RESOLVED: That no further action be taken in respect of an alleged breach of planning control at No. 82 Southwood Road, Farnborough, as set out in Report No. PLN1653.
