It was agreed to consider the following late applications:

7.5 5/08/1811LB Two storey side extension to provide granny annex at 92 High Street, Redbourn, AL3 7BD. (Papers received. Consultation period expires 27.08.08).

Recommend Refusal. Members felt that the proposed extension would change the character of the High Street and Conservation area (Policies 85b and 85 (i)), and also expressed concern about the removal of a healthy tree.

7.6 5/08/1710 Erection of a four bedroom dwelling at Land Adj 12 Monks Close, Redbourn. (Papers received. Consultation period expires 27.08.08).

Recommend refusal. Members agreed that the new plans did not address any of the reasons for refusal of the last Planning Application 5/2008/0791 and that there was not any significant evidence of change to previously submitted plans. Refusal was recommended based on Policies 69, 70 and 85 with regard to (i) the visual impact of the design and character of the proposed building on the conservation area, as seen from the High Street; (ii) the new planning application had failed to truly address the concerns of the previous application; (iii) neighbouring properties (Nos 34 and 36) would still be overlooked. Cllr Crawley was asked to call in the application if Officers were minded to grant the application. Members noted that the previous application was going to Appeal.

7.7 5/08/1775 Conservatory at 1 St Mary’s Close, Redbourn, AL3 7DD (retrospective). (Paperwork not yet received but information accessed on SADC Planning Website. Consultation period expiry date unknown).

No objections.

7.8 5/08/1802 Demolition/re
