Parish / Town
1. For the purposes of Article 22 of the Town and Country Planning
(General Development Procedure) (England) (Amendment) Order
2003, the following reasons for the Council's decision are summarised
below together with a summary of the Policies and Proposals contained
within the Development Plan which are relevant to this decision:
The proposal complies with the provisions of Policies G1 and H23 of
the Stroud District Local Plan Revised Deposit Version (as amended
June 2001). These seek to ensure proposals do not have an adverse
effect on the amenities at present enjoyed by occupiers of neighbouring
dwellings by reason of loss of light, loss of privacy or have an
overbearing effect. The size of the plot is large enough to
accommodate the proposal without resulting in a cramped or
overdeveloped site. The height, size and design of the proposed
extension is in keeping with the scale and character of the parent
dwelling. Following construction of the extension sufficient space will
exist for the parking of cars in accordance with the Council's standards
and for use as private amenity space by the occupiers of the enlarged
dwelling in accordance with the Council's adopted standards as outlined
in its Residential Design Guide.
Object:
This is a retrospective application although it was not mentioned on the forms received.
It seems apparent from the PCs inspection that this development has had a considerable impact
on the local scene, The conservatory is very large and my council feels that it could be an
overdevelopment of the site. In my Councils opinion it creates an overbearing and unneighbourly
effect and we understand that a fence has been erected by a neighbour to reduce
the effect it has had. We also understand that it is brightly lit at night and this could well create
an unwelcome effect on the local scene.
My council understands this is matter is being referred to Principal Planning Officers and the
Enforcement Officers for discussion. My Council would ask that it be referred to the Planning
Committee.
