Planning Schedule Date: 10/08/2004
The application site and surrounding area is at risk of flooding from the brook which surrounds
the site. The Environment Agency have confirmed that the improvements to the brook are
acceptable and have recommended conditions.
Policies G5 and T1 seek to promote highway safety and consider the highways leading to the
site. The application site is located remote from amenities and services and therefore is not in
accordance with the Governments declared aims of sustainability. However permission has
already been granted to split the existing cottage into two dwellings and therefore this application
should be considered as a like for like replacement.
The access to serve the existing two dwellings has already been allowed and therefore the
highway authority recommend permission with conditions.
The proposal to erect two dwellings on this site is now considered acceptable. Whilst it would be
preferable to maintain and restore the original dwelling on the site the building is not of listable
quality and therefore its retention cannot be required. Careful detailing and design of the two
replacement dwellings will ensure a satisfactory street scene is retained and that both policies
B2 and H14 of the Stroud District Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as amended June 2001)
are complied with.
The proposal is accordingly recommended for approval.
In compiling this recommendation we have given full consideration to all aspects of the Human
Rights Act 1998 in relation to the applicant and/or the occupiers of any neighbouring or affected
properties. In particular regard has been had to Article 8 of the ECHR (Right to Respect for
private and family life) and the requirement to ensure that any interference with the right in this
Article is both permissible and proportionate. On analysing the issues raised by the application
no particular matters, other than those referred to in this report, warranted any different action to
that recommended.
