PROPOSAL

Single storey flat roof exercise swimming pool extension and plant room

 

AMENDMENTS

 

CASE OFFICER

Claudia Hurlock

 

 

REFUSE for the reason:

 

 

1.

The proposed rear extension by virtue of its design, scale and mass would disrupt and dominate the historical character and appearance of the listed building and would be an incongruous and unsympathetic addition that would result in less than substantial harm which is not outweighed by any public benefits of the proposal. The proposal is contrary to policy E9 of the Test Valley Borough Revised Local Plan (2016) and section 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act (1990) and paragraph 205 of the NPPF.

 

 

Note to Applicant:

 

1.

In reaching this decision Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) has had regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and takes a positive and proactive approach to development proposals focused on solutions. TVBC work with applicants and their agents in a positive and proactive manner offering a pre-application advice service and updating applicants/agents of issues that may arise in dealing with the application and where possible suggesting solutions.

 

The Officer’s recommendation as per the Update Paper was proposed by Councillor Cooper and seconded by Councillor A Dowden.  Upon being put to the vote the motion was carried.
