A��������������������� Application no: 2011/0642���������� Mr F Thomas�������������� The Old Manse, Horton

B��������������������� Application no: 2009/0607������� Land adjacent to Robins Rest, Horton

Amended Plans

 

J Ellis informed the Council that the boundary dispute had now been resolved between the two properties, but following this the plot width had been reduced.

The measurements on the plans were showing discrepancies.Serendipity, an adjoining property had objected to the application.

 

The application shows a �garage� on an adjoining property, however this is a Cedar Lodge that is used as accommodation.Therefore the application is not correct, as this Lodge is next to the planned new dwelling.

 

The garage on the side of the new dwelling has been removed, however the proposed property is still very near to the boundary line due to the reduced width of the plot.

 

Following consideration of all of the points raised Council decided to object to the application as the property is still to large for the plot width.
