Proposed two storey rear extension.

Public Participation

Rita Pope spoke in support of the application.

 

The Planning Officer introduced the application which had been brought back to committee following deferral at the last meeting pending a site visit, which had since taken place earlier in the day. The application was for a proposed two storey rear extension at Boxhedge Cottage, High Street, Porton SP4 0LH which was recommended for refusal on the grounds that it would have a severe adverse impact on the property.

 

Members of the Committee then had the opportunity to ask technical questions of the Officers. It was noted that a village design statement once adopted would be a material planning consideration. The retention of the original timber frame, brick and infil panels in the new extension to be left uncovered and visible could be part of the conditions.

 

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

 

The Unitary Division Member; Cllr Mike Hewitt then addressed the Committee stating that there was no objection at all from the parish council. The house had previously been under a demolition order as was in a poor state; he felt the current owners had done a good job to pull it together, adding that the thatch on the new section would match well with the existing thatch, to make this into a reasonable family cottage.

 

Councillor Mike Hewitt proposed approval against Officer’s recommendation; this was seconded by Councillor Ricky Rogers.

 

The Committee discussed the application, noting that the applicant had purchased the property knowing it was listed, and then had planned a large extension. The impact of that on the listed building was a consideration and whether the extension could be seen from the road or not was irrelevant.

 

The Committee also noted that ongoing investment and maintenance was required to give listed buildings new life and to preserve them for the future.
