The Director of Development Services submitted a report on his investigation in to a complaint concerning a breach of planning control relating to the unauthorised front dormer window at 79 Barber Road.  The report stated that due to its size and appearance, the dormer window was unacceptable and that the owner had not submitted a revised application that would be in accordance with planning policies.
