Agenda item

Erection of a part two storey, part first floor side extension (Re-submission of planning application 14/00633/FUL).

The Committee noted:

• The comments of Winkfield Parish Council.
• Two objections were received and are summarised as follows:

- The design and massing of the development is out of character with the surrounding area, including the use of a single wide garage access door, and has resulted in overdevelopment of the site and a terracing effect. Furthermore the wooden beams as shown on the approved plans for 14/00633/FUL have not been installed.

- The development results in an adverse loss of light to the residents of the neighbouring property of 'Springhill', 23 Beaulieu Close.

- The development does not provide adequate parking provision for vehicles.

Members noted that the extension was 0.4 metres further forward and amendments had been made to the garage as per the report in the agenda papers. The garage was not classified as a double garage as it was not wide enough. Members expressed concern regarding the resident being able to access the driveway via the dropped curb on the corner which was for pedestrian use. Members suggested that a condition be added to prevent the resident from doing this.
