4. Consultations 4.1 This application has been advertised on the Council’s weekly list of planning applications received and 5 individual letters have been sent to neighbouring properties. Four letters of representation have been received from neighbouring properties raising the following issues: • The additional flats would increase the amount of cars parking along Victoria Street. • The scheme includes no off-street car parking. Loss of on-street car parking spaces would make it difficult for existing customers to park and they may seek alternative shopping arrangements. • The proposal would result in over-development of any already densely built up area; • The rear extension is out of character with the rear building line of 13, 13a, 14, 15 and 15a Victoria Street; • The proposal would result in loss of amenity to the adjoining properties; • The rear extension would be an overbearing and intensive form of development; • The scheme does not include any fire safety measures; • The front dormers are out of keeping with the terrace. 4.2 The County Highways Authority has been consulted as part of this application and makes no requirements given the central location and the existing parking restrictions in the vicinity. 5. Planning Considerations 5.1 This is a full application for the erection of a two-storey rear, side extension and front and rear dormer windows. The extensions and alterations would provide three additional flats, resulting in four residential units and one retail unit in total. The majority of the development would be to the rear of the site. The scheme does include two north facing dormer windows. The site is within the local shopping centre in Englefield Green and is located within the Urban Area. 5.2 The proposed extension would be located between the existing rear extensions at No’s 14 and 15. It would include several windows facing westwards towards the two-storey rear extension at No. 15. This extension does not include any windows or openings in its eastern elevation. It includes an external staircase that is screened by a 1.8 metre close boarded fence along the eastern common boundary with No. 13. The proposed extension is considered to have an acceptable impact upon the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties.
5.3 The terrace is two-storey with a pitched roof. No. 12 appears to have a loft conversion with front velux window. There are no dormer windows in the north, front roof elevation of the terrace. The proposed dormer windows are in line with the existing windows at first floor level at No. 14. The position and design of the dormers is not considered to detract from the character of the terrace or the surrounding area. 5.4 The proposal creates three additional flats at No. 14. There appears to be residential accommodation above each unit in the terrace. The adopted Parking Standards are for a maximum of one space per flat in such locations. The County Highways Authority have made no requirements for the proposal. None of the existing flats in the terrace would appear to have off-street parking. No.14 is within walking distance of bus stops and public car parking on St Judes Road. The proposal makes effective use of a site within both the urban area and the village centre. It also provides for small units of accommodation. Whilst this scheme has no on-site car parking, it is in a central location within walking distance of most community services and is considered to comply with Government guidance contained within PPG3 ‘Housing’ and PPG13 ‘Transport’. 5.5 Consideration has been given to the requirements of Article 8 and Article 1 of the First Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is not considered that the granting of permission would result in a violation of any objector’s rights under the Convention. Officers’ Recommendation GRANT subject to the following conditions: 1. Duration (Other than Outline) (C3) 2. No Departure (Full Applications) (C4) 3. Harmonising External Materials (Submission of Details/Samples) (C30) 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no additional windows, dormer windows or other openings shall be formed in the extensions including the roof (other than those expressly authorised by the approved drawings) without the consent in writing of the Local Planning Authority. Reason: In the interests of the amenities of the occupiers of the adjoining residential properties.
