PROPOSAL

Two storey side extension to form family room and new master bedroom with existing bedroom converted to walk in wardrobe and replace tile hanging with grey boarding

 

AMENDMENTS

 

CASE OFFICER

Katie Savage

 

The Officer’s recommendation, as per the agenda and update paper, was proposed by Councillor M Cooper and seconded by Councillor A Dowden.  Upon being put to the vote the motion fell.  A motion for refusal was proposed by Councillor Bundy and seconded by Councillor Parker.  Upon being put to the vote the motion was carried.

 

REFUSEDfor the following reasons:

The proposed development by virtue of its size, scale, mass and proximity to number 111 Mortimer Way will result in an overbearing and oppressive impact on 111 Mortimer Way particularly when viewed from habitable windows to the front elevation of this property. The proposed side extension with its ‘Juliet balcony’ will result in overlooking and perceived overlooking of the Living Room window on the front elevation of 111 Mortimer Way contrary to policy LHW4 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016). Furthermore, the proposed replacement of the hanging tiles with coloured boarding will result in a harmful change to the character and appearance of this part of the street scene contrary to policy E1 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016). The benefit of providing additional accommodation for the applicant is noted, but this minor personal benefit does not outweigh the identified and real harm to the residential amenities of 111 Mortimer Way. It is also acknowledged that were planning permission to be granted a condition could be used to control the finished materials. Taking the above matters into consideration it is considered that the proposal is contrary to policy E1 & LHW4 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and the benefits of the proposal do not outweigh the identified harm.
