Report of the Service Lead, Planning, Infrastructure and Development

recommending that conditional approval be refused in respect of an application for a proposed development at the above address.

Minutes:

The Panel considered the report of the Service Head, Planning, Infrastructure and Development recommending that planning permission be refused in respect of the application for a proposed development at the above address.

 

Construction of a single storey outbuilding for storage and parking purposes, to the rear of the property following demolition of the existing outbuilding 

 

Roger Shephard, Kathryn Young (local residents objecting), Amrik Chahal (agent) and Councillor Vassiliou (ward councillor objecting) were present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

 

Upon being put to the vote the officer recommendation recommending refusal was carried. 

 

 

RESOLVED that conditional planning permission be refused for the reasons set out below.

 

Reason for Refusal

The proposed outbuilding is considered excessive and out of character, in particular its height and width on the site, with the scale of developments in the area. Furthermore, the footprint, height and proximity to the boundary with nos 36a and 38 Bassett Green Road, largely spanning the full width of these gardens would appear over-bearing and oppressive when viewed from the neighbouring gardens. The use of the garages by vehicles would also erode the enjoyment of the adjoining neighbouring gardens, particularly those at 36a and 38 Bassett Green Road, due to noise and disturbance. This would, therefore, be harmful to the amenities currently enjoyed by these residents. The development is therefore contrary to Policies SDP1, SDP7 and SDP9 of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review amended version (March 2015) and Policy CS 13 of the Southampton City Council Local Development Framework Core Strategy (2015).
