Public Participation

Rodney Job spoke in support of the application

 

The Planning Team Leader Richard Hughes presented the application to demolish the existing bungalow and erection of 3 townhouses with a detached triple garage, associated parking and vehicular access (resubmission of 18/06402/FUL), at 34 Park Lane, Salisbury, as detailed in the report.

 

The Officer clarified that a response from Highways had been received, they had agreed the amended layout of parking, and requested a condition be applied.

 

The application was recommended for approval subject to conditions, as set out in the report.

 

It was noted that part of Park Lane had already been developed to the south.

 

The site had previously been given planning permission for the development of 2 bungalows with a garage. The application for consideration only related to the front of the site.

 

Issues raised with neighbouring amenity, relating to concerns over reduced daylight as a result of the development. The plan showed the proposed scheme would be positioned forward from the neighbouring property, with an element of single story at the rear.

 

There was already a block of flats adjacent to the site.

 

 An outline plan had previously been approved on the site. This scheme included a total of 9 parking spaces.

 

The Committee was then able to ask technical questions of the Officer, where it was clarified that the approximate height of the proposed development was relatively the same as what had been approved in the outline application. 

 

There was not a full list of proposed materials on the application, if desired by the Committee this could be included on the conditions. 

 

The existing flats position sat slightly in front of the proposed development, with the neighbouring house sat slightly further back in a stepped style along the row.

 

Members of the Public were then given the opportunity to present their views as indicated above. The main points raised included that the development would impact on the levels of light received by neighbouring house and would there would be an element of overlooking.

 

 

The previously approved Outline consent had not indicated the height of the previous scheme. The new scheme was considered to be overdevelopment for the size of this site, as the footprint was 20% larger.

 

The development would provide three family homes which would be highly sustainable and have access to local amenity. The Outline permission was for a block of 4 flats. The style of the new scheme had a Georgian influence and would complement other properties in Park Lane.

 

The scheme had the support of the Tree Officer.

 

The overlooking from the townhouses would be minimised by the use of oblique glass in the windows.

 

This scheme was superior in design than the previous outline application. 

 

The Division Member Cllr Mary Douglas then spoke on the application noting that she had called the application in to enable a full debate at Committee. 

 

The number of beds in the outline application was much lower than the new scheme. When I tried to compare the footprint it was difficult to make a clear judgement on what the differences were, due to the quality of the plans.

 

Yes we need more housing and yes this is sustainable, but if you look at Park Lane, when you go from Stratford Road there was a higher density of housing at one end. Did we want to increase the density of housing in this area also?

 

It was hard to see how this development would not change the character of this part of Park Lane.

 

Cllr Douglas did not ask the Committee to vote in one way or the other, but asked for it to be debated.

 

The Committee agreed that the poor quality of the plans provided were difficult to decipher. The Chairman asked the Planning Officer to clarify some of the details from the plans shown on the slides at the meeting.

 

Cllr Westmoreland then moved the motion of approval in line with Officer recommendation. This was seconded by Cllr Hewitt.

 

A debate followed where the key points raised included that Outline planning permission had already been granted for a block of four flats. The new scheme was more favourable.

 

The scheme was of a classic Victorian design so in-keeping with the properties in the area. The trees were also protected.

 

The Committee then voted on the motion of approval in line with Officer recommendations.
