            Comment:

            Application is contrary to planning policy DP7 (new build not in permitted development area). In addition a view of public importance would be lost.

            2. 30/1391/14/F Householder application for ground floor extension and alterations to include gallery and balconies at first floor level (resubmission of 30/1648/13/F) for Mr and Mrs D Donelly at The Farthings, Beacon Road, Kingswear. TQ6 0BS.                                                     SUPPORT

            Comment:

            Supported providing the left hand section of the building on the up river side of the building on the wall with the Juliet window is clad in slate or stone facing. This will visually reduce the horizontal    bulk of the building and natural materials would be more in keeping with the Conservation Area and AONB. This was suggested by the Kingswear Chair of Planning Annie Lovell at the meeting of the Conservation and Design Review Panel on the 4th of March 2014 at Follaton House and supported.
