Erection of a 3-bed bungalow with associated parking and refuse/cycle storage

Mr Reay (Luken Beck Ltd on behalf of Dr and Mrs Moussa), Miss Afshar and Mr Garvey (Local Residents), Councillors Harris and Samuels (Ward Councillors) were present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

UPON BEING PUT TO THE VOTE THE OFFICER RECOMMENDATION TO REFUSE PLANNING PERMISSION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

RESOLVED that conditional planning permission be refused for the reasons set out in the report and the additional reasons below.

Reasons for Refusal

(i)  The use of the building as a dwellinghouse is an unneighbourly form of development causing a loss of amenity and privacy for the residents of the adjoining properties by reason of disturbance from the increased residential activity associated with it in the rear garden of 16 Bassett Heath Avenue contrary to Policies SDP1 and H7 of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review 2006.

(ii)  The proposal, due to the excessive carry distance from the property to the refuse store, fails to provide convenient refuse facilities to serve the development contrary to Section 9.3 of the Residential Design Guide.

(iii)  The proposal, given the internal layout of the building appears to allow for a 4 bedroom bungalow to be provided, provides car parking to serve a family sized unit at half the maximum standard allowed for a low accessibility area. As such the proposal could result in additional on-road parking which would be harmful to the open character and appearance of the roads in this area.

(iv)  The proposal fails to provide an adequate living environment for future occupiers due to the siting of the existing building in immediate proximity to the site boundaries. Consequently, the habitable rooms of the house would not have reasonable levels of natural light and outlook contrary to paragraph 2.2.1 of the Residential Design Guide 2006.

(v)  The proposal fails to demonstrate how energy efficiency would be improved and whether or not renewable energy will be able to be incorporated in the development. In the absence of such details which should include measures for Water Conservation and the use of Micro-Renewables the proposal is contrary to Policy CS20 of the Core Strategy 2010.

RESOLVED that authority be delegated to the Head of Planning and Sustainability to grant conditional planning approval subject to:-

(ii)  any further planning conditions recommended by the Environment Agency and British Airports Authority on receipt of their consultation response; and

(iii)  the conditions in the report and the amended and additional conditions below.

Amended Conditions

01 - Full Permission Timing Condition - Physical works

The development works hereby permitted shall begin not later than five years from the date on which this planning permission was granted.

REASON:

To comply with Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).

02 - Details of building materials to be used

Notwithstanding the details shown on the approved drawings no works shall commence on the construction of the external elevations of the buildings hereby approved until a schedule of materials and finishes (including full details of the manufacturers, types and colours of the external materials) to be used for external walls, windows and the roof of the proposed buildings has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. 

REASON:

To enable the Local Planning Authority to control the development in detail in the interests of amenity by endeavouring to achieve a building of visual quality.

Erection of two, two bedroom semi-detached dwellings with associated cycle storage on land to the rear of 4 Wolseley Road

Mr Oldfield (Architect) and Mr Netherwood (Landlord) were present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

UPON BEING PUT TO THE VOTE THE OFFICER RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT CONDITIONAL PLANNING PERMISSION WAS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

RESOLVED that planning approval be granted subject to the conditions in the report and the amended and additional conditions set out below.

Additional Condition

16 - Public House Delivery Time

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority deliveries to the existing public house shall not take place outside of the hours of 10:00 to 15:00 Monday to Friday and at no times on public holidays.

REASON:

The approved development would prevent delivery vehicles from pulling off the road when goods are being delivered to the premises. The permitted delivery hours would ensure that on-road deliveries do not lead to undue congestion during periods where on-street parking significantly increases.

REASONS FOR THE DECISION

The development is acceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan. Other material considerations do not have sufficient weight to justify a refusal of the application. The provision of no on-site car parking is in accordance with policies and guidance which look to reduce travel by private car. The proposed dwellings would be in keeping with the surrounding area and would not have a harmful impact on residential amenity.  Where appropriate planning conditions have been imposed to mitigate any harm identified.  In accordance with Section 38 (6) of the Planning and  Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, Planning Permission should therefore be granted having account of the following planning policies:

“Saved” Policies – SDP1, SDP4, SDP5, SDP7, SDP9, SDP10, SDP11, SDP12, SDP13,  H1, H2, and H7 of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review - Adopted March 2006 as supported by the adopted LDF Core Strategy (2010) policies CS4, CS5, CS13, CS19, and CS20 and the Council’s current adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance.  National Planning Guidance contained within PPS1 (Delivering Sustainable Development), PPS3 (Housing 2010) and PPG13 (Transport) are also relevant to the determination of this planning application.

Erection of a single storey rear extension and two storey side extension

Mrs Blue (Local Resident) and Councillors Capazzoli and Vinson (Ward Councillors) were present and with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

UPON BEING PUT TO THE VOTE THE OFFICER RECOMMENDATION TO GRANT CONDITIONAL PLANNING PERMISSION WAS CARRIED

RECORDED VOTE:

FOR:  Councillors Fitzhenry, Jones, Letts, Mead and Osmond

ABSTAINED:  Councillor Thomas

RESOLVED that planning approval be granted subject to the conditions in the report.

REASONS FOR THE DECISION

The development is acceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below. The scale and massing of the extensions are proportionate to the scale and appearance of the existing dwelling and its neighbours and are not considered to harm the residential amenity of neighbouring dwellings. The property is currently in use as a C4 dwelling. The addition of two bedrooms within the property accords with the requirements of the property remaining in us as a C4 dwelling. Other material considerations have been considered and are not judged to have sufficient weight to justify a refusal of the application, and where applicable conditions have been applied in order to satisfy these matters. The scheme is therefore judged to be in accordance with Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and thus planning permission should therefore be granted.

‘Saved Policies’ - SDP1, SDP7 and SDP9 of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review Adopted March 2006 as supported by the adopted LDF Core Strategy (2010) policies CS13, CS16, and the Council’s current adopted Residential Design Guide.
