Public Participation

Mr Nicholson spoke in objection to the application

David Wood spoke on behalf of Teffont Parish Council

 

The Senior Planning Officer introduced the application for the demolition of an existing bungalow and construction of a replacement dwelling with associated works, at Paddock View. The application was recommended for approval. It was noted that the site was accessed via a shared driveway leading from the street, and a public footpath also extends along the shared driveway along the northern boundary. The site was within the Cranborne Chase AONB and Conservation Area.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officers. It was noted that whilst the dormer windows faced north, it was considered that the replacement dwelling would not unduly impact upon residential amenity.

 

Members of the public then had the opportunity to present their views to the Committee, as detailed above.

 

A representative from Teffont Parish Council spoke in objection to the application, due to the size, style and height. However the parish council noted that it did not object to principle development of the site, but did not support this application and would like to see a like for like bungalow in its place.

 

The Unitary Division Member, Councillor Wayman then spoke on the application, adding that what was once a 1930’s bungalow would now be a two storey house, sitting higher on the hillside. No consideration had been given to the Village Design Statement where it was specific on the design of dormer windows. New buildings should be complimentary to existing character of the village.

 

The Committee discussed the application, noting that the design matched an already approved development in the village. It was sympathetic that site traffic would need to use the shared driveway, which may cause further damage to fencing and obstructions during deliveries for the neighbouring residents. The application would need to adhere to standard hours as part of the loading and unloading of materials in the conditions, and damage to neighbouring property would be a civil matter.
