RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY

91/0006/TC     Crown reduction and crown thinning of sycamore tree and crown reduction of Cuppressus. No TPO made.

THE APPLICATION

Sycamore – lift crown from lower spread by around 2 metres – thin crown 10%.

Cypress – reduce to previous cut – shape crown.

TOWN COUNCIL

No objections subject to the views of the Forestry Officer.

REPRESENTATIONS

Applicant:     Been advised by tree specialist that two trees need attention.

CONSULTATIONS

District Forestry and Landscape Adviser:     Sycamore and cypress in group beside dwelling on road frontage and boundary with Meades Estate –both large trees with heavy ivy growth – some large side branches on Meades Estate side – previous work to trees under 91/0006/TC – proposed work fairly minor in nature and considered reasonable management.

POLICIES

The Adopted Chiltern District Local Plan – 1997: Policy CA5 

ISSUES

1.     The sycamore and cypress trees are in prominent positions beside King Street and the Meades Estate.

2.     The proposed work to the trees is fairly minor in nature and it is considered that it would not have a significant effect on the appearance of the trees. A Tree Preservation Order would therefore not be appropriate.

3.     The following recommendation is made having regard to the above and also to the content of the Human Rights Act 1998.

RECOMMENDATION: That a TPO shall not be made; no replacements requested

RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY

AM/595/61     Garage, permitted development.

THE APPLICATION

This application seeks a Proposed Lawful Development Certificate relating to the insertion of a dormer window in the rear elevation and a roof extension on the side elevation to form a gable end roof.  The total extended volume of the roof would be approximately 35m3.

TOWN COUNCIL

No comment noted.

CONSULTATIONS

Legal Services –

1.     From perusal of the plans it would appear that the proposal comes within Class B, Part 6 of the GDO 1995.

2.     Class B permits the enlargement of a dwellinghouse consisting of an addition or alteration to it’s roof provided inter alia, -

Comment – From perusal of the plans showing all elevation of the dwelling, the highest part of the original roof has not been exceeded by the dormer extension.

Comment – My view is that if what is termed as a ‘rooflight’ on the plans does not extend in any way beyond the existing roof slope of the front elevation of the dwelling fronting the highway, then this second condition is met also.  Please confirm that the proposed ‘rooflight’ will not protrude.  I have no worries about the new roof plane as although fronting the highway, it does not extend beyond the original slope.

3.     Although quite happy that the development falls within Class B, I have concerns that the proposal does not meet the condition imposed by paragraph C.1 of Class C, in that it may materially alter the shape of the dwelling.  In this instance, I would advise a site visit as this condition is a matter of fact and degree in each case.

ISSUES

1.     Although the proposed extension is not considered to fall within Class C of Part 1 of the 1995 Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order, the extension deemed to materially alter the shape of the dwelling with the roof being altered from a hip to a gable, it is considered that the proposal would fall within the scope of Class B, therefore a specific grant of planning permission is not required for the proposed works.  

2.     Although previous applications have been received by the Council, they have been either demolished or have not been implemented, consequently the dwelling has its full complement of permitted development rights relating to volume.  The extension is well within the 70m3 available to the dwelling and as noted above by the Legal Services section, the extension meets the other criteria.

3.     The following recommendation is made having regard to the above and also to the content of the Human Rights Act 1998.

RECOMMENDATION: Certificate of lawfulness for proposed development or use issued

(1) The proposed roof extension and dormer window is permitted develoment by virture of Class B, Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General permitted Development) Order 1995, in that the volume of the additions proposed  above that of the original dwelling, would not exceed the permitted tolerence of 50 cubic metres allowed under the above Class.  Planning permission is therefore not required for the proposed works and a certificate can be issued in this case.

ISSUES

1.     The application site is located within the Green Belt settlement of Hyde Heath as defined by the Proposals Map of the Local Plan and within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where there are no objections in principle to the proposal subject to compliance with the relevant local plan policies.

2.     Due to its siting at the rear of the property it would have no effect upon the street scene. No objection raised in relation to Policy H13(ii).

3.     Although the neighbouring property Faith Cottage has two windows on its north eastern flank elevation facing the conservatory, it is not considered that any greater overlooking would occur as the proposal represents a replacement. Furthermore, it is considered that reverse overlooking would be greater. No objection raised in relation to Policies GC3 and H14.  

4.     The replacement represents a significant enhancement over the existing conservatory and would improve the overall visual appearance of the dwelling. No objection raised in relation to Policies GC1 and H15.  No objections in terms of the effect on the listed building.

5.     The proposal has no implications in terms of parking. No objection raised in relation to Policies TR11 and TR16.

PARISH COUNCIL

Approve.

REPRESENTATIONS

One letter of support received.

CONSULTATIONS

Historic Buildings Officer: Proposed replacement conservatory of larger size than existing. It has superior architectural character to the existing, although not wholly suitable to the 17th century nature of the listed house, and is hidden completely behind it, attached to rear extensions. It does no more to affect the historic character of the building than existing alterations. There are therefore no objections on listed building grounds.

ISSUES

1.     The Historic Buildings Officer’s comments are noted and no objection is raised to the proposal as it would be attached to rear extensions hidden completely behind the listed house. It also has superior architectural character to the one that it would replace. No objections raised in terms of Policy LB1.

POLICIES

The Adopted Chiltern District Local Plan - 1997 (including The Adopted Alterations May 2001): Policies GC1, GC3, GB2, GB15, TR11 and TR16.

ISSUES

1.     The application site is located within the open Green Belt, where in accordance with the requirements of Policy GB15, ancillary residential buildings may be acceptable provided that they are small scale and subordinate to the size of the original dwellinghouse and are not visually intrusive in the landscape.  The site is also located within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

2.     The increase in floorspace is relatively minor, with the main increase in bulk resulting from the altered roof profile.  However, the alterations are not considered to be objectionable in relation to either the Green Belt location or the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  No objections are raised in terms to Policies GC1, GB2, GB15 or LSQ1.

3.     There are no neighbours within the vicinity of the application site, and therefore no objections are raised.

4.     There are no implications for parking provision within the scope of this application.

RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY

THE APPLICATION

The proposed single storey side extension is to replace the existing garage.  The proposed extension is to be 3.085m in width and 5.75m in depth.  Over this and the remainder of the dwelling a replacement roof is proposed.  The ridge height of which would be approximately 6.5m (when viewed from the front elevation – due to a change in ground levels), the ridge would run, at right-angles to the road, to the rear for a distance of approximately 7m at which point it becomes the roof over the proposed rear dormer window.  This rear dormer would have a curved window with an overall width of 3m, while the smaller dormer window to serve the proposed dressing room would be 1.4m in width and a height of approximately 1.4m.  The dormer window in the front elevation would be1.4m in width, 1.2m in height to its eaves with a pitched roof over adding a further 1m.  The pitched and hipped roof over the side extension would be approximately 5.25m to its ridge.

PARISH COUNCIL

No objections.

REPRESENTATIONS

Two letters of objection from both neighbouring properties –

1.     Loss of morning sunlight to No.38 due to the extra height of the proposed new roof.

2.     Loss of privacy from the rear dormer window due to its curved design.

3.     There is a window shown on the eastern elevation, if that window were to be an opening window then this would lead to a clear and unobstructed view straight into my ground floor bedroom window.

4.     I do not see how a pitched roof dormer window in the front elevation could be built as shown without there being a significant increase in the roof height...if there is to be such an increase I would again have concerns.

POLICIES

The Adopted Chiltern District Local Plan - 1997 (including The Adopted Alterations May 2001): Policies GC1, GC2, GC3, H13, H14, H15, H16, H18, TR11 and TR16.

ISSUES

1.     The design of the extensions is considered acceptable and no objections are raised with regard to its impact upon the street scene.  In this respect the comments of the Inspector (in connection with 93/1423/CH) and the Officers report of 94/1016/CH are noted.  Having regard to the large front dormer at No.42 and the requirements of Policy H18, no objections are raised over the design of the front dormer window.  Although large, the rear dormer would not be intrusive in the context of the street scene and as such no objections are raised to its design.

2.     In this instance it is considered that the main issue is the impact the extensions would have upon the neighbouring properties, in this context the representations from the neighbouring properties have been given due consideration.  It is also noted that the Inspector, when considering application 93/1423/CH, considered that the proposed rear gable ended roof extension would appear unacceptably overbearing in relation to the gardens of the neighbouring properties, it should be noted that the 1993 application did not propose any roof extension over the existing garage.   However, having due regard to the Inspector’s comments and to the subsequent approval (ref. – 94/1016/CH), it is not considered that the current scheme would be excessively overbearing to the neighbouring properties.  There is however, some concern regarding the proposed rear dormer’s impact upon the privacy of the neighbouring properties.  It is considered that the curved nature of the window would potentially permit a relatively clear view over the neighbouring properties, this is not considered to be acceptable and is considered to be contrary to Polices in the Local Plan aimed at protecting the privacy and amenities of the neighbouring residents.  Notwithstanding this objection, given the comments of the Inspector and the subsequent approval, it is not considered that there are any objections to the principle of a rear dormer window in the property.

3.     The gross floorspace of the existing dwelling is fractionally below 120m2, it is also noted that the existing garage is to be replaced with living accommodation.   Notwithstanding the above, it is considered that there are no objections under Polices TR11 and TR16 as two cars could be parked in line in front of the proposed single storey extension and there is also sufficient space in front of the dwelling to provide a further space if necessary.

4.     The following recommendation is made having regard to the above and also to the content of the Human Rights Act 1998.

RECOMMENDATION: Refuse permission

For the following reasons

(1) The design of the rear dormer window is such that it would allow an unacceptable degree of overlooking to the private amenity areas of both of the neighbouring properties.  This is contrary to Policies GC3, H13(i) and H14 of the Adopted Chiltern District Council Local Plan 1997.

THE APPLICATION

The application is for a rear conservatory measuring 4.5m by 3.5m and 3.6m high to the top of the pitched roof.

POLICIES

The Adopted Chiltern District Local Plan - 1997 (including The Adopted Alterations May 2001): Policies GC1, GC2, GC3, H13, H14, H15, TR11 and TR16.

ISSUES

1.     The application site is located within the built up area of Holmer Green where there are no objections to the proposed development in principle, subject to compliance with the relevant local plan policies.

2.     The boundary treatment between the two dwellings, adjacent to the site of the conservatory, is currently a 2m long, approximately 2m high fence panel and hedge to a similar height. A 2m section of this hedge is to removed and replaced by a 2m fence panel. The eaves level of the conservatory is to be approximately 2.1m high, projecting above the fence by approximately 100mm, while the roof of the conservatory is to pitch away from the neighbouring semi- detached dwelling, no.39 Orchard Way. Though 4.5m deep sited approximately 400mm from the boundary with no.39 Orchard Way, the conservatory will not have an adverse impact upon that dwelling and will not result in the loss of privacy for any of the neighbouring dwellings. The conservatory will not represent overdevelopment of the site and will respect the scale and proportions of the existing dwelling. No objections are raised to it.

3.     The floorspace of the dwelling already exceeds 120sq. m. There are therefore no implications for the Council’s Adopted Carparking Standards.

4.     The following recommendation is made having regard to the above and also to the content of the Human Rights Act 1998.

RECOMMENDATION: Conditional permission

Subject to the following conditions

(1) C108 General Time Limit

(2) The bricks to be used in the construction of the plinth of the conservatory hereby permitted shall match the size, colour and texture of those of the existing dwelling.

Reason: To ensure that the external appearance of the enlarged dwelling is not detrimental to the character of the locality.

RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY

CH/972/80  Conversion and infilling of existing garage and covered area to living accommodation and erection of garage.  Permitted and implemented.

THE APPLICATION

Proposal comprises rear extension to garage and a part two storey, part single storey on the other side of the dwelling.  The garage extension would be about two metres wide and one metre deep, with a flat roof to match that of the existing garage roof.  The other extension would replace an existing single storey structure.  It would be 3 metres wide and 6.55 metres deep, with the ground and first floor elements set one and 2.3 metres off the side boundary respectively.  This extension would be set 2.5 metres back from the existing frontage of the dwelling and level with the existing rear wall.  It would have a pitched roof continuing down from the existing two storey eaves to a new eaves height of 3.5 metres.  Within this roof two flank facing dormer windows are proposed.

PARISH COUNCIL

No objection.

POLICIES

ISSUES

1.     The application site is located within the built-up area of Prestwood, wherein residential extensions can be acceptable in principle provided they are not visually intrusive in the street scene, or detrimental to the amenities of the occupiers of neighbouring properties.  The site is also within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but in that it lies within an existing settlement, it is not considered that the proposal has any impact on the scenic beauty of the landscape.

2.     The main extension would be of a design and materials to match the existing dwelling.  A reasonable gap is maintained to the flank boundary of the site, both at ground and first floor levels and this addition is set back from the existing frontage of the dwelling.  As such this addition would not appear cramped or visually intrusive in the street scene.

3.     The part single storey, part two storey addition faces the side wall of the neighbouring property containing only a landing window.  Given this, and the fact that a low eaves is proposed, it is not considered that the addition would appear unduly dominant or would lead to any significant loss of light.  The windows facing this neighbour can either be obscure glazed or are offset from this landing such that no increase in overlooking would result.  As such, this part of the development is not considered to be detrimental to the amenities of this neighbour.

4.     The garage addition is small and would be totally concealed from the road.  Although close to the boundary, due to its limited depth and height, it would have no significant impact on the neighbouring property.

5.     The dwelling is already in excess of 120 square metres and therefore, provided the extended garage is retained for parking, the development has no implications under the Council’s standards.

6.     The following recommendation is made having regard to the above and also to the content of the Human Rights Act 1998.

RECOMMENDATION: Conditional permission

Subject to the following conditions

(1) C108 General Time Limit

(2) C431 Materials of Development to Match Those of Existing Building

(3) C178 Obscure glass in bathroom window in east elevation

(4) The extended garage hereby permitted shall be reserved for the parking of vehicles and shall not be converted to provide additional living accommodation or used for any other purpose.

Reason: To ensure that adequate and satisfactory provision is made for the parking of vehicles clear of all carriageways.

ISSUES

1.     The application site is located within the built up area of Knotty Green where there are no objections to the proposed development in principle, subject to compliance with the relevant local plan policies.

2.     Neither the front nor the rear extensions will have any adverse impacts upon the neighbouring dwelling, no.6 Eghams Wood Road, and will not result in any loss of privacy for that dwelling. They will respect the scale and proportions of the dwelling and will not detract from the street scene. Overlooking to the rear garden of no.2A Eghams Wood Road from the rear extension will not be an issue either by virtue of the boundary treatment. The extensions will not represent overdevelopment of the site. No objections are raised to the proposed extensions.

3.     The floorspace of the dwelling already exceeds 120sq. m. There are therefore no implications for the Council’s Adopted Carparking Standards.

Proposes rear conservatory measuring 3.682m x 4.111m, with a pitched roof 3.55m high.

The floorspace of the original dwellinghouse measures 135sq m.  The property has since had dormer windows inserted in both the front and rear elevations creating a further 16.7sq m floorspace.  The current proposal has a floorspace of 14sq m, representing a total increase of 22% over and above the floorspace of the original dwelling.

The Adopted Chiltern District Local Plan - 1997 (including The Adopted Alterations May 2001): Policies GC1, GC3, GB2, GB13, H14, H15, H17, TR11 and TR16.

ISSUES

1.     The application site is located within the open Green Belt, where in accordance with the requirements of Policy GB13, domestic extensions may be permissible provided they are small scale and subordinate to the size of the original dwellinghouse, and are not visually intrusive.  The site is also located within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

2.     The floorspace of the original dwellinghouse measures 135sq m.  The property has since had dormer windows inserted in both the front and rear elevations creating a further 16.7sq m floorspace.  The current proposal has a floorspace of 14sq m, representing a total increase of 22% over and above the floorspace of the original dwelling.  The proposed extension is sufficiently small scale and subordinate to the size of the original dwellinghouse, and therefore no objections are raised in relation to Policies GB2 and GB13.

3.     A 1.8m brick wall forms the boundary with the neighbouring property, and as such the proposed extension will not have an adverse impact on the residential amenities of this property.  No objections are raised.

4.     The proposed conservatory is sited to the rear of the property.  There will be no adverse impact on either the street scene or the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and therefore no objections are raised.

5.     Adequate parking space exists within the curtilage of the application site.  No objections are raised in terms of Policies TR11 and TR16.

RELEVANT PLANNING HISTORY

CG/1055/75  Two storey extension and extension to vehicle store.  Permitted.

87/2447/CH  Listed building consent - Internal alterations and new window.  Granted.

THE APPLICATION

The application is for listed building consent for proposed internal and external alterations to a Grade II Listed Building.  The proposed alterations comprise the conversion of the barn into a playroom/garage/store; replacement rooflights; and the installation of two new doors and a new window.

PARISH COUNCIL

No objection.

CONSULTATIONS

District Historic Buildings Officer: This application concerns a large 19th-century cowshed, listed Grade II along with the other farm buildings and farmhouse at Penn House Farm.  It is the only building within the immediate group to remain unconverted to living accommodation, and retains a very simple farm character.  

The proposals seek to use the building as a large playroom and garage.  This minor element of conversion is sympathetic to the building in that it requires relatively little alteration to fenestration and the internal space.  It is to be commended for retaining the simple expanse of brick wall and sparse arrangement of original bottom-hinged lights.  One of these is to be moved in order to help hide the doorway behind an existing buttress.  The insertion of this doorway and of the garage doors seems a small price to pay for the maintenance of the building in very much its original state.  The proposed ‘conservation’ roof lights will occupy existing openings to the rear, where the adjacent converted buildings have already undergone alteration.  Their use here helps to preserve the plain, more visible facade towards the main farmhouse.  There are therefore no objections on listed building grounds as long as the matching materials are used as specified.

ISSUES

1.     The application site is located within the built up area of Prestwood and within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where there are no objections in principle to the proposed development subject to compliance with the relevant local plan policies.

2.     The extension would have no impact upon the street scene as it would be located to the rear of the property. No objection in terms of Policy H13(ii).

3.     Having regard to the depth and height of the proposed extension and that there is a good screening of trees on the boundary in addition to a 1.8m close boarded fence, it is considered that the design and siting of the extension is appropriate and would not be detrimental to the residential amenities of neighbouring properties. No objections raised in relation to Policies GC1, GC3, H14 and H15.

4.     Compliance would be achieved with the Council’s parking requirements as three spaces are provided. No objection raised in relation to Policies TR11 and TR16.

AM/1808/72: Extension for lounge, bedroom and new garage. Not implemented.

THE APPLICATION

The application relates to the erection of single storey side and rear extensions. The extension to the western side elevation would measure 15.8m deep (incorporating the rear extension), 1.5m wide and to the same roof height as existing. The existing attached outbuildings on this elevation would be demolished.  The rear extension would measure 10.5m wide (incorporating the side extension). The bedroom and living room aspects of the extension would have a roof height subordinate to that of the existing dwelling. All proposed materials would match those of the existing dwelling.

POLICIES

The Adopted Chiltern District Local Plan - 1997 (including The Adopted Alterations May 2001): Policies GC1, GC2, GC3, H13, H14, H15, TR11 and TR16.

ISSUES

1.     The application site is located within the built up area of Holmer Green where there are no objections in principle to the proposed development subject to compliance with the relevant local plan policies.

2.     The existing outbuildings abut the eastern boundary and consist of a flat roof. The replacement side extension would consist of a hipped roof with a distance of 1m allowed up to the boundary. It is therefore considered that the design of the extension and the spacing allowed at the side would improve the appearance of the dwelling within the street scene. No objection raised in relation to Policy GC1, H13(ii) and H15.

3.     The depth of the side extension would project beyond the existing outbuildings on site by 2.8m but its width would be less by being 1m away from the boundary. Having regard to this and to the fact that the height of the extension where it projects beyond the rear elevation of the neighbouring property No.26 Hogg Lane would be subordinate to the height of the existing roof by 0.7m it is not considered that the extension would represent an overbearing appearance upon this property. The rear extension adjacent to No.22 would only project beyond the rear elevation of this property by only 0.5m, hence no effect would be had upon the residential amenities of this property. No objections therefore raised in relation to Policies GC2, GC3 and H14.

4.     Three parking spaces can be provided within the curtilage of the site to comply with the Council’s standards. No objections raised in relation to Policies TR11 and TR16.

5.     The following recommendation is made having regard to the above and also to the content of the Human Rights Act 1998.

C/201/71   Extension to form garage, W C, shower and conservatory. Conditional permission – implemented.

01/0277/CH   Front porch, new pitched roof over existing single storey rear projection and side covered walkway. Conditional permission – not implemented.

THE APPLICATION

The application is for a front porch, a single storey side/ front extension, and a new pitched roof over the existing single storey rear extension and side covered walkway (amendment to planning permission 01/0277/CH). The front porch is to measure 2.55m by 1.92m and 3.3m high to the top of the roof. The side/ front extension is to measure 1.38m by 4.38m and is to link the porch to the side walkway. Its height is to equal that of the porch at 3.3m. The pitched roof over the existing rear projection is to measure 5.15m wide, 4.7m deep and 3.75m high where it joins the rear wall of the dwelling. It is to have a large non- opening, double glazed rooflight, measuring  2.3m by 1.2m. The roof over the side covered walkway is to measure 8m long by 1.4m wide and 3.3m high where it joins the side wall of the house. It is to have four rooflights, each 750mm by 650mm.

TOWN COUNCIL

No objections.

REPRESENTATIONS

1 letter received from the occupier of a nearby property, no.5 Meadow Way, objecting to the size of the rooflight of the rear roof. A tiled roof with a conventional rooflight would be acceptable. The letter also questions whether regulations permit extensions forward of the building line.

POLICIES

The Adopted Chiltern District Local Plan - 1997 (including The Adopted Alterations May 2001): Policies GC1, GC2, GC3, H13, H14, H15, TR11 and TR16.

ISSUES

1.     The principle of the proposed extension has been established by the grant of the previous permission on this site (ref. 01/0277/CH). The current application differs from that already approved in that it is to have a single storey side/ front extension, measuring 1.38m by 4.38m and 3.3m high in addition to the extensions approved. There are also differences proposed in the rooflights over the covered walkway: there are now four proposed in place of a panel of rooflights.

2.     The proposed amendment represents a fairly minor addition to the approved scheme. It will not have a greater impact upon no.7 Copse Way than the approved scheme, will not affect no.5 Copse Way, and will not detract from the appearance of the dwelling or that of the street scene. No objections are raised to the proposed amendment.

3.     The floorspace of the dwelling already exceeds 120sq. m. There are therefore no implications for the Council’s Adopted Carparking Standards.

4.     The following recommendation is made having regard to the above and also to the content of the Human Rights Act 1998.

RECOMMENDATION: Conditional permission

Subject to the following conditions

(1) C108 General Time Limit

(2) C431 Materials of Development to Match Those of Existing Building

(3) The frames of the rooflights to be used in the pitched roofs over the existing single storey rear projection and the side covered walkway hereby permitted shall be constructed using the materials indicated on the approved plans.

Reason: To ensure that the external appearance of the enlarged dwelling is not detrimental to the character of the locality.
