P/09/15 Planning Applications received since the last meeting

*Councillors comments to meet WCC deadlines

Case Reference	Address	Comment
08/02629/FUL	Hillrise Lovedon Lane Temporary use of detached garage as accommodation	Object*

Parish councillors consider that a planning condition has deliberately been ignored on this application and therefore wish to OBJECT. However strictly on planning issues for the application as presented, they object because:

• Nothing has changed since WCC issued its decision on the garage

• We understand that it is contrary to planning policy, as the site lies outside the development boundary and therefore countryside proposals apply which only allow essential new development. If it can be demonstrated that the development is ‘essential’, then we would withdraw our objection.

Case Reference	Address	Comment
08/02479/FUL	16 Bentley Close Conservatory to rear	No Comment

 

 

 

Case Reference	Address	Comment
08/02630/FUL	Meadow View Basingstoke Road Two storey rear extension	Object*

Parish Councillors have noted the Inspector’s reason for dismissal. We consider that the applicant will have satisfied his concerns regarding the view from the A33. We have also noted that the double garage has been deleted.

However, from the details on the drawings, for the dwelling itself, we have made an assessment and this does not indicate that the application resolves the perceived problem of being a ‘substantial addition’ and ‘substantially adding to its bulk’.

This is because it would appear that the increase in size remains ‘close to 50%’. Unless it can be demonstrated that the increase is less than our assessment, and thought to be in line with the Inspector’s findings, then we OBJECT to the application.

 

Case Reference	Address	Comment
08/02744/FUL	Windwhistle Meadowland Conservatory to rear	No Comment*
08/02558/FUL	47A Fraser Road Installation of satellite dish	No Comment*
08/02700/FUL	17 Boyne Mead Road Replacement bungalow	No Comment*
08/02904/FUL	Red Marley 1 Nations Hill Replacement 4 dwellings	Object

 

• Members believe the application would lead to an over-development out of context with the area.

• The Design Statement refers to the LADS on the other side of Nations Hill which is in Headbourne Worthy

• The traffic flows on the network would be unacceptably affected.

• The number of parking spaces mean that the perceived problem of more cars than spaces is very likely to occur with the unacceptable knock on effects.

• The location of the new access provided to serve three of the four dwellings is too close to the junction with Springvale Road.

• There remain unacceptable landscaping issues

 

Case Reference	Address	Comment
09/00012/FUL	Manesty 20 Lovedon Lane Amendment to Planning Permission Changing roof lights to dormers and Removing chimney stack	No Comment
