Comment:

 

Cllr Corbridge disclosed a non-pecuniary interest as a member of Lymington and Pennington Town Council which had commented on the application. She concluded that there were no grounds under common law to prevent her from remaining in the meeting to speak and to vote.

 

Members raised concerns about the proposed changes to the conditions, which they felt would lead to an unacceptable level of overlooking into neighbouring properties due to the changes to the windows, the increase in glazing and the potential use of the flat roof.  This would have a detrimental impact on the privacy of neighbouring occupiers.

 

Decision:

 

Refuse the variation of conditions

 

Conditions / Reasons:

 

The proposed changes to the windows and increase in unobscured glazing in addition to the associated potential use of the flat roof section would result in an unacceptable level of overlooking and additional sense of perceived overlooking which would prove contrary to the privacy of neighbouring occupiers. As such, the development is contrary to Policy ENV3 of the Local Plan Part 1: Planning Strategy for the New Forest District outside of the National Park.
