2 Plan Number 13/0082 2 The Beeches Great Corby Two storey rear extension to provide family room on ground floor with 2no.

Observations Whilst members have no objections to the proposal, they wish to see the existing drainage problem addressed.

Members would like to see this problem resolved before any new extension plans are granted.

6 Plan Number 13/0141 Wood House, Warwick Bridge Erection of replacement dwelling Observations - Members noted that the original application was for an increase in the floor space of 15%.

The provision of security lighting from such a prominent position may affect the existing properties and passing traffic on the local through road. 7 Plan Number 13/0132 2 Fern House, Back Street, Cotehill Certificate of existing lawful development for conservatory to rear elevation No observations D:\Docs\2018-05-10\08d8092aa6bda78bfe136759844ff079.doc 20 8 Plan Number 13/0155 Greenacre, Warwick Bridge Erection of single storey orangery Observations Members felt that this was an inappropriate sized extension, to the existing dwelling. 9 Plan Number 13/0158 Land adjacent Orchard House, Broomfallen Road, Scotby Erection of 1no. dwelling No observations
