P/17/0257/OA - 274 BRIDGE ROAD BURRIDGE SOUTHAMPTON pdf icon PDF 2 MB

Minutes:

The Committee received the deputations referred to in Minute 5 above.

 

The Committee’s attention was drawn to the Update Report which contained the following information: - The applicant has made a financial contribution towards to the Solent Recreational Mitigation Strategy (SRMS) and this has been secured through an agreement under section 111 of the Local Government Act 1972.

 

Officers have sought clarification from the applicant’s agent concerning the provision of services to the site. The agent has confirmed that the plot benefits from water and electricity supplies which were laid under the access track over 20 years ago and which extend from Botley Road. It is the applicant’s intention for the proposed dwelling to be served by a private foul drainage system. A gas supply is said not be required. Given that clarification it is not considered that it will be necessary for a service trench to be dug along the route of the access within close proximity to protected trees. A suitable planning condition is recommended to be imposed in relation to this matter.

d)    Revised block plan – dwg no. 113-02 – received on 26th April 2017

e)    Drawing no. C075Drg11C – Available Visibility Splay including proposed access improvements – received 10th May 2017

Reasons for Refusal

-       By virtue of the height, depth and bulk of the dwelling on plot o. 3 and it’s proximity to the rear gardens of no’s 52 and 52a Cornaway lane, would represent an overbearing and unneighbourly form of development detrimental to the amenities of these properties.

 

-       The sitting of the bin collection point serving plot no’s 3 and 4 to the garden of the dwelling in plot 1 would represent an unneighbourly form of development detrimental to the amenities of this property.

 

-        The proximity of the car parking space to the living room window of the dwelling within plot 4 would not constitute high quality design to the detriment of the occupant in plot 4.
