APPEALS

...to determine planning appeals, the committee noted that an appeal against the refusal of planning permission for a side extension, loft conversion, and other alterations at 1B Melbourne Road, Royston, had been dismissed due to the negative impact of a proposed dormer on the area's character and appearance, and the overshadowing effect of the ground floor extension on a neighboring property.
