Backwell - Mr & Mrs R Bonney - Extension of hip roof to gable
ends with conversion of roofspace to living accommodation. Erection
of a ground floor extension to infill veranda.
023 Resolved: Unanimously Backwell Parish Council is of the opinion
that the proposed hip roof extension is an inappropriate design and
has a bulky appearance, which does not respect the character of the
dwelling and does not integrate well with the existing roof design.
This proposal would not enhance the neighbouring bungalows.

Backwell Hill, Backwell - Mr A Follett - Change of use from D2
health club (basement, ground and first floor) and 8 no. residential
apartments (first and second floor) to C1 hotel use throughout (no
internal or external alterations).
024 Resolved: Unanimously no objection and Backwell Parish Council
recommends acceptance, as it would encourage employment in the
locality.
d. Planning Application No. 10/P/0506/F - 6 St Andrews Road,
Backwell - Mr Alan Ferrier - Erection of a single storey side and
rear extension.
025 Resolved: Unanimously no objection.
