Council Meeting 22 November 2011
During discussion, Cr Langer considered that the dwelling height had a negative impact on the
outlook of the neighbour to the east and the streetscape and therefore recommended that the
application be referred back to the Development Committee.

Development Committee to enable amended plans to be submitted which reduce the height of
the dwelling and the amount of fill in the Bent Street frontage.
