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

RECORDED VOTE:

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

AGAINST:  Councillor Slade and Thomas

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

REASONS FOR REFUSAL

1 - Design

Whilst the principle of a mixed use redevelopment scheme is accepted, the proposed development will, in the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, result in an incongruous addition to the street scene by reason of its poor/confused design solution, its relationship with the existing pattern of development and the excessive site coverage (building and hard-standing) with a limited setting to the building.  Furthermore:-

(a)  the proposed building's footprint and width, associated hard-standing and overall layout results in an excessive site coverage that fails to respond to the spatial characteristics and building to plot ratios of its context;

(b)  the emphasis of the proposed design and layout on access, parking, and servicing which dominate the frontage results in a building that places these needs ahead of a legible design solution;

(c)  the proposed refuse storage facility is insufficient in scale to accommodate refuse bins capable of serving the needs of the occupants of the proposed residential units.

The combination of these design weaknesses results in a building that fails to respect the character of the area or introduce a building of significant architectural merit and, as such, the proposed development is considered to be contrary to "saved" policies SDP7 (iii) (iv) (v) and SDP9 (i) (iv) (v) of the adopted City of Southampton Local Plan Review (March 2006) and Policy CS13 of the adopted Local Development Framework Core Strategy Development Plan Document (January 2010) as supported by the relevant sections of the Council's approved Residential Design Guide SPD (2006).

2 - Residential Environment

The Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the proposed first floor residential accommodation provides an attractive and acceptable living environment for prospective residents, in particular:-

(a)  notwithstanding the proximity of St James Park (and the amenity offered by the grounds to Shirley Parish Church) the proposals fail to provide sufficient external space which is fit for its intended purpose to serve the on-site amenity space needs of prospective residents, as required by adopted City of Southampton Local Plan Review (2006) Policy SDP1(i) as supported by paragraph 2.3.14 and section 4.4 of the Council’s approved Residential Design Guide SPD (2006);

(b)  poorly located refuse storage facilities are proposed in relation to the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 70.

Part two storey part single storey rear extension to a C4 (HMO) dwelling house to create a property with 5 bedrooms and shared communal facilities.

Mr Sahota (Applicant) was 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 conditional planning approval be granted subject to the conditions in the report and the amended conditions below.

Amended Conditions

Delete Condition 6 – replaced with informative advising that number of residents restricted as in C4 of the Use Classes Order.

7 - Change of title from “Use of garage” to “Use of lounge”.

REASONS FOR DECISION

The development is acceptable taking into account the policies and proposals of the Development Plan as set out below.  A family home can be re-established as there are only external physical changes proposed.  The occupation of this property is not considered likely to result in an intensification of activity resulting in a material increase in the level of noise and refuse generated from the site.  Other material considerations including the impact on the amenity of adjoining occupiers or the character of the street 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.

Policies - SDP1, SDP7, SDP9 and H4 of the City of Southampton Local Plan Review (March 2006); and CS13 and CS16 of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy Development Plan Document (January 2010).

The landscaping scheme shall include the existing area of hardstanding to the south of the application site/adjacent to the common boundary with 245 Upper Weston Lane and to the front of 2 and 4 Cherry Blossom Court.  New planting shall take place along the common boundary with 245 Upper Weston Lane.  It shall also include the re-location of any authorised car parking where necessary, but so as to ensure a minimum of 2 car parking spaces is afforded to 1-5 Cherry Blossom Court (i.e. including the 2 bungalows hereby approved).

Any trees, shrubs, seeded or turfed areas which die, fail to establish, are removed or become damaged or diseased, within a period of 5 years from the date of planting shall be replaced by the Developer in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species unless the Local Planning Authority gives written consent to any variation. The Developer shall be responsible for any replacements for a period of 5 years from the date of planting.

The approved scheme shall be carried out prior to occupation of the building or during the first planting season following the full completion of building works, whichever is sooner. The approved scheme implemented shall be maintained for a minimum period of 5 years following its complete provision.
