RU.03/0324 Date reg: 21/03/2003 Ward THORPE LOCATION: PROPOSAL: TYPE: APPLICANT: 4 WARWICK VILLAS, THORPE LEA ROAD, EGHAM ERECTION OF FIRST FLOOR SIDE EXTENSION FULL PLANNING PERMISSION Mr & Mrs Sanders Local Plan: Policies relevant to the consideration of this application are: Second Alteration, April 2001: HO9, BE2 1. Site 1.1 No. 4 is a two-storey semi-detached dwelling facing south-west onto Thorpe Lea Road. It has a single storey, flat roof side extension to its south-east elevation. Warwick Villas comprises of 6 pairs of semi-detached houses on either side of the entrance to Warwick Avenue. 1.2 The site is located within the Urban Area. 2. History 2.1 The most recent and relevant planning history for the site is outlined below: 2.2 RU.92/0519 Single storey extension to side of dwelling. Granted 1992. 2.3 RU.00/0120 Formation of vehicular access onto Thorpe Lea Road. Granted March 2000. 2.4 RU.00/0242 Retention of existing guttering to side extension. Granted May 2000. 3. Application 3.1 This is a full application for the erection of a first floor side extension above the existing flat roof side extension. 3.2 It would have a width of 3 metres to the edge of the existing side extension. It would have a depth of 9.1 metres and would be stepped back 0.75 metres from the front elevation of the existing side extension. The eaves’ height along the south-east elevation would be increased from 3.2 metres to 3.6 metres. The roof would be pitched in from the side boundary and would have a maximum height of 5.9 metres. The south-east roof elevation would include two velux windows. 4. Consultation 4.1 This application has been advertised on the <strong>Council</strong>’s weekly list of planning applications received and 3 individual letters have been sent to neighbouring properties. Two letters of representation have been received from neighbouring properties raising the following issues:
• The side extension would be unsightly, intrusive, overcrowded and out-ofkeeping with the surrounding area. • The existing side extension remains unfinished, un-rendered and poorly constructed. • Two-storey side extensions will result in a terracing effect. • The proposal will overlook No. 5 and cause overshadowing. 4.2 The County Highways Authority has been consulted and has no requirements. 5. <strong>Planning</strong> Considerations 5.1 This is a full application for the erection of a first floor side extension directly above an existing single storey side extension. The main considerations for this application are the impact upon the street scene and character of the area and upon the neighbours’ residential amenities. 5.2 Warwick Villas are two-storey semi-detached houses with hipped roofs. They are located on either side of the entrance to Warwick Avenue. Several have two-storey, flat roof rear extensions visible from Warwick Avenue. The adjoining house, no. 3, has converted the original hipped roof to a gable end with a rear facing, flat roof dormer window. The south-east end of Warwick Avenue is characterised by a mix of terraced and semidetached, two-storey houses. Many of the houses have side or rear extensions that vary in size and design. 5.3 The proposed side extension would in effect result in a 1.5 storey extension which appears to be designed to have a minimum impact upon the neighbouring dwelling no. 5. Warwick Villas are staggered and the proposal would be partially obscured and not particularly prominent in the street scene. The general design of the extension is not considered to particularly enhance the character of the area, but would not result in terracing or serious visual harm. There are a broad mix of extensions found in the immediate area. The design and scale of the scheme is not considered to unduly harm the character of the surrounding area. 5.4 The proposed eaves height would be increased by 0.4 metres from the existing height along the south-east common boundary. The roof would be pitched away from the side boundary to an angle matching the existing main roof elevation. The proposal includes two south-east facing roof windows. The extension appears to be designed to minimise any additional issues of overbearing effect, overshadowing or loss of privacy upon no. 5 Warwick Villas. The proposal is considered to have an acceptable impact upon the residential amenities of the neighbouring dwellings.
