Proposed erection of one x 3 bedroom house, following partial demolition of existing house and including extensions to existing house.

The Committee noted:

·       The objections of Winkfield Parish Council as outlined in the report.

·       The objections from 17 households as outlined in the report.

·       The supplementary report tabled at the meeting.

·       That a site visit had taken place on 2 November with councillors Brown, Collings, Thompson, Penfold, Virgo and Smith in attendance.

·       The representations of the two public speakers at the meeting.

A motion to APPROVE the recommendation in the officer report was proposed but fell at the vote.

Therefore, an alternative motion to REFUSE the application was proposed and seconded, and on being put to the vote was CARRIED.

RESOLVED That application 23/00814/FUL be REFUSED for the following reasons:

1.     The proposal is considered to be out of keeping with the character and appearance of the area and streetscene. The proposal introduces a terraced form of development in an area which is characterised by semi-detached properties and parking which dominates the street frontage and provides little space for planting. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to Policy LP 28, LP 50 of the Bracknell Forest Local Plan and Policies W1, W2 and W3 of the Winkfield Neighbourhood Plan.

2.     In the absence of a planning obligation to secure suitable avoidance and mitigation measures and access management monitoring arrangements, in terms that are satisfactory to the Local Planning Authority, the proposal would be contrary to Regulation 63(5) of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended), Policy NRM6 of the South East Plan, Policy LP32 of the Bracknell Forest Local Plan the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area Supplementary Planning Document (2018).
