A��������������������� Application no: 2011/0642����������
Mr F Thomas�������������� The
Old Manse, Horton
Erection
of small single storey extension to front porch to accommodate toilet.
Following
consideration and information that the current house does not have an internal
wc, Council resolved to support this application.
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.
C��������������������� Application no:� 2011/0028������� Mr B Mitchell������������ Rock Cottage, Horton
