| Declarations of Interest: | Bob Tyrrell declared an interest in Item 1, pre-application representation and took no part in the discussion. |
It is the aim of the Parish Council to seek a high standard of design for all new developments and extensions in the Village .
Item 1: To receive any pre-application representations regarding proposed planning applications
6 Heathlands, West Bergholt – a pre-application representation was made by Bob Tyrrell. There are plans to add an annex to the existing house for the support of elderly parents. Access to the two bedroom annex would be gained through the garage, which had previously been partially converted. It will cover an area of 600 square foot and be covered in black timber board. Subject to approval, conditions will, of course, be put in place so that the annex can never be sold as a separate property in the future. The Planning Committee reviewed the drawings and looked forward to the application being made.
