QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC

Mrs Cotterill of Wessiters referred to her letter submitted in response to application 06/2790 Conygar, Highcliffe Cres., which she opposed.

Mr & Mrs Craven of Wessiters spoke on application 06/2790 Conygar, Highcliffe Cres.

They pointed out that the land sloped from the proposed development, resulting in an overbearing and dominant building, causing loss of privacy to their property. They were also concerned that the previously approved outline application was for a single storey building with a condition that no windows were to be permitted on the eastern elevation of any dwelling.

06/2828/FUL single storey extension to provide kitchen and additional wc, The Galley, Esplanade, Seaton.
