Weekly Planning Search - Feb 3rd 2010
95000 - UNIT 16 LYMINGTON ENTERPRISE CENTRE AMPRESS
LANE
registration
date: 22/01/2010
Location: One of the many
Proposal: Additional windows to
ground and first floor at rear
Statutory Class: Other minor development
Consulted: neighbours 9, others
9
History: none
Comment: Hardly controversial, except possibly to the
neighbours
Recommendation: no action
95012 - 17 QUEEN ELIZABETH AVENUE
registration
date: 22/01/2010
Location: half way along, on S
side
Proposal: First floor side extension
Statutory Class: Householder developments
Consulted: neighbours 6 others
4
History: 42884 - Addition
of a garage, shower room, kitchen and porch - Granted - 26/09/1989
Comment: A substantial extension to this SD house, adding
an upper floor over the garage (see above). All right if the neighbours agree
Recommendation: no action
95031 - ST THOMAS CHURCH ST THOMAS STREET
registration
date: 27/01/2010
Location: well known
Proposal: Single-storey extension
(Application for Listed Building Consent)
Statutory Class: Listed Building consents (alter/extend)
Consulted: neighbours 14, others
16
History: None recent
Comment: The proposal is to extend
slightly and reorganise the entrance to the church hall to allow easier access
for mobility scooters, zimmer frames, wheelchairs and so on. The loos will also be improved. Anything to do with the church is bound to
invite controversy, and I know that the wider proposals of which this application
forms a part have not been greeted with universal acclaim. However, there doesn't seem to be anything
to which the Society should react, either positively or negatively. No response so far from the case officer or
the conservation people.
Recommendation: no action
- but views welcome
95113 - TANGLEWOOD WATERFORD CLOSE
registration
date: 22/01/2010
Location: At the end of the Close,
adjacent to Pennyfarthing's latest estate
Proposal: 2 houses; access alterations;
demolition of existing
Statutory Class: Minor Dwellings
Consulted: neighbours 16, others
11
History: None
Comment: It was inevitable when
the former owner died that someone would seek to knock down this rather nice
house and build more in its place. After
the efforts of Pennyfarthing to turn the area into a cod version of Sandbanks,
we should probably be relieved that the proposal is for only two large houses,
with quite decent-sized gardens, and retains the wooded area at the northern
end of the site. The designs of the
houses don't look too bad and the ridge heights, in particular, are not excessive.
On the other hand, for all the protestations of "sustainability"
which accompany these applications, nobody ever adds into the debit side of
the equation the energy it takes to knock down and cart away a perfectly decent
building which would otherwise offer years of habitability.
I have been unable to contact Peter Fordham, who lives next door, but
Nigel probably has a view. Transport,
open space and affordability contributions are to be sought.
The land drainage people are quite excited, requiring preconditions
in this damp area.
Recommendation: We might comment to suggest draconian conditions
for the preservation of the remaining greenery. (The arboricultural report is not yet available
on the website). Other views welcome
95140 - 95 HIGH STREET,,
registration
date: 25/01/2010
Location: Vision Express, 2 down
from New Street
Proposal: Single-storey side extension;
new staircase; demolition of existing extension (Application for Listed Building
Consent)
Statutory Class: Listed Building consents (alter/extend)
Consulted: neighbours 15, others
8
History: 92813 & 92814 - 29/08/2008 - display 1 non-illuminated
projecting sign - refused (delegated)
94359
- 17/08/2009 - Single-storey side extension; new external staircase etc -
granted (delegated)
94360
- 17/08/2009 - Listed building consent - withdrawn
Comment: 94360 apparently struck a rock in the conservation
department " .
. .the addition would create a narrow void between
the extension and adjacent property which is also of historic interest although
not individually listed in its own right. A blocked up winodw to this property would
also be covered by the proposed addition." and this is its replacement. Best
left to the conservation experts who are obviously on the case.
Recommendation: No action
95148 - OLD SOLENT HOUSE QUAY HILL,,
registration
date: 25/01/2010
Location: The Grade II listed building
opposite the bottom end of Quay Hill
Proposal: 2 replacement dormers;
remove sand & cement render to attic wall & replace with lime plaster;
tiebeam & rafters to assist chimney support (Application for Listed Building
Consent),
Statutory Class: Listed Building consents (alter/extend)
Consulted: neighbours 14, others
11
History: 93847 - 27/03/2009 - Replacement dormer
windows; rooflight; roof structure work - granted(delegated)
Comment: The case officer says
" . . .The
rooflight meets the criteria of permitted development. The other works are
internal and as such do not require the benefit of planning permission. As
such, this application is for Listed Building Consent only and we have consulted
the Conservation Team." There
is no change to the important Quay Hill elevation
Recommendation: No action
95150 - 2 BELMORE ROAD
registration
date: 25/01/2010
Location: NW Corner of Belmore
Lane/Road
Proposal: Single-storey side &
rear extension
Statutory Class: Householder developments
Consulted: Neighbours 10, others
4
History: 94544 - 01/09/2009 - Single-storey side & rear extension
- granted (delegated)
Comment: It is difficult from the
very limited documentation on the website to see how this proposal differs
from 94544, which has not been implemented.
It is on the edge of, but does not threaten, the Conservation Area,
and the removal of the prefabricated garage as proposed would be an improvement.
Recommendation: No action
95160 - 19 ELM AVENUE PENNINGTON
registration
date: 25/01/2010
Location: NE side of the road,
almost opposite Grafton Gardens
Proposal: House; demolition of
existing
Statutory Class: Minor Dwellings
Consulted: neighbours 6, others
8
History: none
Comment: The proposal is to demolish
an existing chalet bungalow (ie a bungalow with dormered loft conversion)
and build a bigger 1½ storey house on the same site. This area is distinctive for its predominantly
bungaloid format and the proposed new building will not be markedly different.
No doubt much energy will be spent in knocking it down to build a more
energy-conscious replacement, but aesthetically it should fit well
Recommendation: no action,
but PRA might like to look
