PROPOSAL

Erection of a block of 18 flats

 

 

AMENDMENTS

 

 

 

CASE OFFICER

Mrs Samantha Owen

 

 

 

 

 

REFUSED for the reasons:

 

1.

The proposed development would, due to its large size, prominent siting and relationship with existing buildings, result in an unduly dominant form  of development that would be harmful to the

character of the area.  As such it would conflict with policy E1 of the Test Valley Borough Council Revised Local Plan 2016.

 

2.

The proposed development by means of it nature, location and scale could have likely significant harmful effects upon the nearby Solent and Southampton Water European Designated Site which is designated for its conservation importance. In the absence of a completed legal agreement securing the proposed off site mitigation, the applicant has failed to satisfy the Council that the proposal would not adversely affect the special interest of the Solent and Southampton Water European Designated Site. Therefore the application is contrary to policies COM2 and E5 of the adopted Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended).

 

3.

In the absence of a legal agreement to secure an appropriate level of affordable housing within the scheme, the proposal fails to comply with policy COM7 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan 2016 and the Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document September 2020.

APPLICANT

Mr and Mrs Marzano

 

SITE

Edelweiss, Church Road, Abbotts Ann, SP11 7BH,  ABBOTTS ANN

 

PROPOSAL

Single storey rear extension, together with the provision of a partial second storey to the existing property

 

AMENDMENTS

Amended plans were submitted on 17.11.21 to add an obscure glazing annotation to the elevation drawing, and a site plan was submitted to provide details of landscaping and parking.

Tracking diagrams were submitted on 12.01.22 and 13.01.22 to accompany the site plan.

 

CASE OFFICER

Gillian Wheeler

 

 

 

REFUSED for the reason:

 

 

1.

Due to the proposed increase in height and mass, the dwelling would appear overly dominant and incongruous within the street scene of Church Close in comparison to neighbouring dwellings, and the proposals would not therefore integrate, respect or complement the predominantly single storey character of the area. Furthermore, the proposals would also have a detrimental impact on the appearance of the Grade II listed buildings East Manor House and The Manor and the wider Abbotts Ann Conservation Area. The proposals are therefore contrary to Policies E1, E2 and E9 of the TVBRLP, the Abbotts Ann Conservation Area Character Appraisal and the Abbotts Ann Village Design Statement.
