Agenda item

Erection of a single storey rear extension with roof lantern following demolition of existing rear extension, and the erection of outbuilding to front of dwellinghouse forming a car port.

Erection of a single storey rear extension with roof lantern following demolition of existing rear extension, and the erection of outbuilding to front of dwellinghouse forming a car port.

This application as initially submitted included a proposal for an additional single storey outbuilding to enclose the existing swimming pool.  This element of the proposed development has been withdrawn at the request of the applicant and an amended block plan submitted.

The Committee noted:

• The supplementary report of the Head of Planning tabled at the meeting.
• An objection to the proposal from Warfield Parish Council on the grounds that it would constitute overdevelopment of the site, to the detriment of the character of the surrounding area, and would result in an adverse impact on the residential amenity of the surrounding properties through being overbearing.
• 2 objections from neighbouring properties (received prior to the withdrawal of the outbuilding forming a pool enclosure), summarised as follows:

- The proposed outbuildings would result in an adverse loss of light, and be overbearing to the residents of 16 Priory Lane and 'Hazelbury', 18 Priory Lane

- The proposed outbuildings would be out of character with the surrounding area and the development as whole would constitute overdevelopment of the site.

- The proposed swimming pool outbuilding would result in an adverse impact on the roots of the trees to the immediate south.

- The proposal would potentially result in an adverse impact on the foundations of the surrounding properties
