Additional documents: Minutes: (Councillor Graham Pask declared a personal interest in Agenda Item 4(2) by virtue of the fact that the he knew the applicant and objector as they were residents of Bucklebury where he lived. As his interest was personal and not prejudicial or a disclosable pecuniary interest, he determined to remain to take part in the debate and vote on the matter.) The Committee considered a report (Agenda Item 4(2)) concerning Planning Application 21/01358/HOUSE in respect of demolishing an existing rear extension, construct new single storey rear extension and 2 storey side/rear extension, construct new garage block with office/games room above and a single storey link to main house. Mr Bob Dray (Team Leader – Development Control) introduced the item and highlighted the key points within the report. In accordance with the Council’s Constitution, Mr Edward Mather on behalf of Mr Bill Bucknell, Objectors and Mr Simon Hudson, applicant, addressed the Committee on this application. Objector Representations: Mr Mather in behalf of Mr Bucknell in addressing the Committee raised the following points: · Mr Mather was an architect at Colony Architects and was a friend of Mr Bucknell who lived at Oakley next door the proposal. Mr Bucknell was away and therefore had asked by Mather to speak on his behalf. · Mr Bucknell had written a letter on the 15th July and Mr Mather stated that he would reiterate the main points set out in the letter. · Overall Mr Bucknell was supportive of the principle of extending the house and offering an ancillary garage or incidental accommodation. · For a number of reasons it was felt that the scale of the proposal would cause overdevelopment on the site and would negatively impact upon the setting and Mr Bucknell’s property. · It was felt that the proposed rear of the extension would be an improvement and was supported as the modern extension would be removed and this would improve the appearance of the house. · The issue was regarding the ancillary accommodation to the side and front of the property. The site was within the countryside and within the North Wessex Down Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (NWDAONB) and although house extensions were permitted Mr Mather quoted they needed to have ‘no adverse impact on the setting, the space occupied within the plot boundaries, on the local rural character, historic interest or the building and its setting within the wider landscape’. · The site was positioned at the end of the Avenue, which was a distinctive local landscape feature central to the unique character of Chapel Row. · The site was to the north of the Avenue and faced the green. It held a prominent position and was clearly observable from the public space. Any proposal should be carefully designed to not negatively impact the setting and landscape. · It should be noted that back in 2005 a similar application in height and scale was refused. It was for a garage to the west of the property and was refused because of its harmful impact on the AONB, ... view the full minutes text for item 17. |
