REFUSED

Description of application - Part one/two storey front, side and rear extension.  bay window to front.  elevational alterations.

Oral representations from Ward Member Councillor Charles Joel in objection to the application were received at the meeting.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED that PERMISSION BE REFUSED for the following reasons:-

1.  The proposed extensions constitute an overdevelopment of the site by reason of their size and bulk, which would be out of character with the area, contrary to Policies H8, BE1 and BE13 of the Unitary Development Plan.

2.  The proposed two storey side extension constitutes a cramped form of development, out of character with the street scene, conducive to a retrograde lowering of the spatial standards to which the area is at present developed and contrary to Policies H9, BE1 and BE13 of the Unitary Development Plan.

3.  The proposed side extension, by reason of its size and prominent location, would harm the character, appearance and visual amenities of the adjacent Farnborough Park Conservation Area, and would therefore be contrary to Policy BE13 of the Unitary Development Plan.
