Application Number: 19/0665 - Little Rosewarne, 1 Rosewarne Gardens, Mytchett, Camberley, GU16 6GT

Minutes:

The application was for single storey side and rear extensions, including attached garage and revised vehicular access and landscaping.

 

The application would have normally been determined under the Council’s Scheme of Delegation. However, it had been called in for determination by the Planning Applications Committee at the request of Councillor Helen Whitcroft due to concerns regarding overdevelopment.

 

Members were advised of the following updates on the application:

 

Update

The Council’s Arboricultural Officer has confirmed that based on the approved tree report and tree protection plan under the 18/0001 permission for the wider development, the current proposed extensions would not encroach upon the root protection areas of the existing surrounding trees. The Arboricultural Officer has therefore maintained no objection, as these tree protection measures would still meet the requirements as set out in the British Standard.

 

An additional informative is proposed as follows, as explained in Paragraph 7.6.2 of the Committee Report:

 

Additional informative

 

2. The applicant is reminded that under the Control of Pollution Act 1974, construction work which will be audible at the site boundary will be restricted to the following hours:

8.00 am – 6.00 pm Monday to Fridays

8.00 am – 1.00 pm Saturday

And not at all on Sundays and Bank Holidays”.

 

Members had concerns in respect of the potential negative impacts on highway users and on amenity if the property’s garage were to be converted for habitable use. As a result it was agreed to add an additional condition to the officer report removing the permitted development rights to convert the proposed garage into habitable accommodation.

 

In addition Members felt that the site was at risk of future overdevelopment and that future enlargements of the property would have a negative impact on the visual and residential amenity. As a result Members decided to remove the Class A and Class B permitted development rights from the dwelling.

 

The officer recommendation to approve the application was proposed by Councillor Colin Dougan, seconded by Councillor Sarah Jane Croke and put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED that application 19/0665 be granted subject to the conditions set out in the Officer Report, as amended, and the additional informative in the updates.
