Buckingham, of 102 Bulford and Mr and Mrs B. Samuel, of 101 Bulford, on the grounds of loss of view, natural light, encroachment and rights of access. Recommending approval, Mr Hamer stated that the extension projected only 3 metres and would not have a significant impact on the residential amenity: the proposal would have minimal impact, not significant enough to warrant refusal. Both Mr Buckingham and the applicant addressed councillors. Councillor Hindley moved approval, with Councillor Bowrah seconding and the proposal was carried 5-3 with 2 abstentions); (b) Erection of two storey extension and single storey extensions to side and rear of 2l Gillards Close, Rockwell Green, Wellington (43/2003/123: There were letters of objection from Mr and Mrs G. Hawker, of 25 Gillards Close and Mr and Mrs G. Talboys, of 23 Gillards Close on the grounds that the proposal amounted to building on existing parking space which would reduce the overall parking area in the neighbourhood, making existing parking problems worse. Recommending approval, Mr Hamer stated that the applicant proposed to build a garage on the parking space and that there was also one further parking space left, so it was not felt that any car parking space was lost due to the proposal. On the proposition of Councillor Govier, seconded by Councillor Warren it was agreed to approve the application subject to a condition restricting the garage to domestic use only); (c) Erection of single storey and first floor extensions at rear and side of 1 Burrough Way, Wellington (43/2003/129: There was a letter of concern from Mr F.
