RESOLVED that:

(1) the undermentioned planning application BE APPROVED subject to the conditions in the report and/or indicated below

#(Item 1) Planning Application No.2014/1268 – Retention and completion of detached dwelling, detached garage and front boundary wall at 57 Southgate Road, Southgate, Swansea.

Report Updated as follows: Page 16 – Pennard Community Council response: re-number points 1,2,3, 4 & 5 to points 2,3,4,5 & 6.

Late letter of objection received from nearby property outlining the following points-

• The size of the dwelling is totally out of proportion with the surrounding properties and completely fills the plot
• I have sympathy for all direct neighbours that will now feel dwarfed by this new property
• The application states retention of existing property – the existing dwelling was totally demolished.

Additional condition added.

7. Notwithstanding the drawings hereby approved, within 3 months of the date of this decision notice, the front boundary wall shall be reduced to a maximum height of 1m.

Reason: In the interests of visual amenity.
