Site Report: The site and the proposal Planning Schedule Date: 10/08/2004 The site lies at the edge of the village, within the development boundary located on the western side of Leonard Stanley. The application is for outline planning permission for the erection of two dwellings. The external appearance and design and have been reserved for future consideration. The site is within the curtilage of the existing dwelling, Brookside which was damaged by fire some time ago. Brookside is removed as part of this scheme and replaced with two dwellings facing onto Bath Road. The site plan shows the means of vehicular access to the site being taken to the side of plot 1 and on the other side of the stream. Relevant Site History S.00/1277. A planning application was granted on 10/10/2000 which allowed the property known as Brookside, located within the settlement area, to be converted into two dwellings with parking/garaging to the rear. In granting this a new access was permitted to serve both of the resulting dwellings. S.00/1669 Erection of two dwellings on land to the side of Brookside. Refused 2000. S.02/1057 Outline application for the erection of six dwellings (two affordable) and construction of vehicular access. Refused and dismissed at appeal in May 2003. S.03/366 Outline application for five dwellings including one affordable unit. Refused 13.1.04 S.03/373 Outline application for four dwellings. Refused 13.4.03. Planning considerations The site is bordered on three sides by hedging and small trees. A brook runs across the front of the site and along both sides. Part of the hedge to the front of the site is to be removed to provide visibility for the new access. This has however already been permitted under S.00/1277, above. Policies G1, G2, G5, and H14 and T1 of the Stroud District Local Plan are all relevant to this application. Policies G1 and G2 seek to prevent development which would have an unacceptable effect due to noise, general disturbance, smell, fumes, loss of day light or sunlight, loss of privacy, have an overbearing effect or be development which will create an unacceptable atmospheric or environmental pollution to water, land or air. The design of the houses is a reserved matter and therefore will be considered at a later stage. The houses fronting the road are however positioned exactly on the footprint of the existing dwelling and therefore no greater loss of amenity will exist to the occupiers of the dwellings opposite than on the approved scheme to split Brookside into two dwellings, assuming that detailed plans are submitted for dwellings of similar size, height and fenestration. The houses are approximately 20 metres away. The proposal should be considered under Policy H14. The indicative plans show two large detached dwellings. This would not normally be in accordance with Policy H14 which requires the site to be developed as densely as possible and with a mix of house types. However as the Highway Authority have objected to any increase in numbers on the grounds of sustainability, two dwellings are considered acceptable in this particular case. 129
