Agenda item

Application for demolition of existing dwelling and the erection of a detached two storey dwelling and a detached double garage (re-submission).

‘Late items:’

Revised plans have been received from the applicant; the revisions made involve the alteration of the rear elevation first floor full height windows to standard cill level windows.

A street scene plan has been submitted which identifies separation distances between the proposed and existing properties and ridge heights from 345 – 333 Rugby Road. The proposed separation distance between the proposal and neighbouring boundaries is clarified as 0.9 metres.

A 7 day re-consultation was undertaken due to these amended plans.

Consultation:-

Three responses have been received from neighbouring residents objecting to the proposed development, raising many of the issues reported in the committee agenda which will not be repeated in this late item, however two additional points are made:-

1)         The overall height of 8.4 identified in the ‘Boundary & Ridge Dimensions’ plan is not the overall height of the proposal as the two gable end projections of the front elevation are higher

2)         Amended rear windows is welcomed but have concerns that changes to design will be undertaken though building regulations

Burbage Parish Council have objected stating that the proposed first floor area above the garage will have a significantly detrimental effect on the amenities of the neighbouring property as it will be overbearing and cause loss of light to a habitable room.

Appraisal:-

The ridge of the proposed dwelling parallel to the highway measures 8.4 metres which creates the mass of the proposal within the street scene. The projecting gables measure 8.5 metres to the ridge and are indicated on the plan. All plans are consistent in showing this de minimis change in ridge height to the gable projections. The assessment of the impact of the proposal upon the character of the area does not change to the assessment made in the report to planning committee.

If the applicant wishes to make any changes to the design this would be subject to planning approval in addition to any building regulation applications which are necessary.

The proposed garage does not include a first floor within it. The assessment of the impact of the garage upon residential amenity is identified within paragraph 8.15 of the officer report.

The amended plans are acceptable and do not alter the officer’s assessment of the scheme. The recommendation to planning committee remains as previous, to approve subject to conditions.

Condition:-

Due to the receipt of amended plans Condition 2 shall be replaced with:

The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out otherwise than in complete accordance with the submitted application details, as follows: Block Plan, Garage Plan & Elevations, Proposed Floor Plans, received by the Local Planning Authority on the 18 May 2018 and, Landscaping Plans, received by the Local Planning Authority on the 13 April 2018 and Site Location Plan received by the Local Planning Authority on the 8 February 2018 and Boundary and Ridge Dimensions, Proposed Elevations, received by the Local Planning Authority 22 June 2018.
