| "SHAME!" CRIES CLLR JOHN TODD: FORMER DEPUTY MAYOR CLLR SOHAN SUMRA GETS "ILLEGAL" HOUSE EXTENSION AGAINST PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S RECOMMENDATION. Cllr Todd said: 'This is an unlawful extension. This (Planning Committee) has an obligation to uphold standards disregarding the applicant." Also opposing it, Planning Committee Vice-Chair Cllr Richard Foote said: "Having two illegal extensions either side of this, which got away with it, should not make an illegal application legal." "Shame," cried Cllr Todd when Planning Chair Cllr Amritpal Mann said: "I have no objection to this getting through. You can cry 'shame' but I have a different opinion. I regard it as an infill." Cllr Shivraj Grewal said he believed the extension would not be harmful to the neighbours, a position supported by fellow committee members Cllrs Khulique Malik and Hina Mir. The extension was approved by 4-2 votes. The application related to 21 Manor Avenue, Hounslow. Cllr Sumra – who has served as Deputy Mayor – wishes to build a single storey rear extension to a house described as a "Home of Multiple Occupation". Six people live there. Council planner Sam Smith had recommended that Planning Permission be refused, stating: "The proposed rear extension would be of a size, scale and position that would result in unacceptable loss of light and outlook, and an increased sense of enclosure to the adjacent neighbouring property. Furthermore, it has not been demonstrated that as a result of the increased depth of the ground floor rear bedroom sufficient daylight or sunlight would serve this room to maintain adequate standard of accommodation for the occupant. The proposed design would also be harmful to the character and appearance of the house within the local area." https://democraticservices.hounslow.gov.uk/documents/s162140/21%20Manor%20Avenue%20Hounslow%20P20194541.pdf A full recording of the meeting can be seen on You Tube here: Planning Committee - 9 July 2020 https://www.youtube.com/ |
