16 Kings Road Lee-On-The-Solent Hampshire PO13 9NU

It will not have any detrimental impact on the amenities of adjoining and prospective residents or highway safety. As such the proposal complies with Policies BE1, H5, T6 and RL10 of the Gosport Borough Local Plan and Policies R/DP1, R/T11 and R/OS7 of the Gosport Borough Local Plan Review.

 

 

 

59A Brockhurst Road  Gosport  Hampshire  PO12 3AP 

 

 

RESOLVED:  That planning application K6489/6 – 59A Brockhurst Road Gosport Hampshire be approved subject to Section 106 Agreement relating to the payment of a commuted sum towards the provision and/or improvement of outdoor playing space and subject to the conditions set out in the report of the Development Services Manager, for the following reason:

 

 

i.

That having regard to the provisions of Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and all other material considerations, the development as proposed is acceptable in this location and will not have any detrimental impact on the amenities of the area, adjoining and prospective residents or highway safety.

63 Crescent Road  Gosport  Hampshire  PO12 2DN  

 

 

Members were advised that a further 6 letters of objection had been received. Issues raised in the letters included concern that the new development would be out of character with the rest of the area, that car-parking and driveway space would be inadequate and that the development would overlook and overshadow the neighbouring dwellings. Members were informed that these issues were addressed in the Report of the Development Services Manager.

 

 

In relation to further issues raised in letters, Members were advised that additional noise levels would not present a problem as a number of trees and shrubs were to be retained onsite, and there was a 1.8 metre high boundary fence line down either side of the driveway. With regard to concerns that the roofline would obstruct the view from no. 66, Members were informed that the separation distance between the properties exceeded the residential guidelines as set out in the Local Plan.  Another issue raised was that the mass and density of development on this small plot would be unacceptable. Members were advised that the density of the scheme would equal 44 Dwellings per Hectare, which was within the threshold of 50 dpa as set out within Policy R/H4 of the Gosport Borough Local Plan Review. Finally, in response to the objection that the development would set a precedent for future overdevelopment in the Conservation Area, Members were assured that each case would continue to be looked at on its individual merits.

 

 

In answer to a question, Officers confirmed the height of the Eastern flank wall and advised that the outlook from Fort Cottage would not be adversely affected by the proposal.

 

 

RESOLVED:  That planning application K17040 – 63 Crescent Road  Gosport  be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report of the Development Services Manager, for the following reason:

 

 

i.

That having regard to the provisions of Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and all other material considerations, the development as proposed is acceptable in this location. It is of an appropriate design and will enhance the character and appearance of the Anglesey Conservation Area. It will not have any detrimental impact on the amenities of adjoining and prospective residents or highway safety. As such the proposal complies with Policies BE1, BE3, BE9, H5, H9, T6 and RL10 of the Gosport Borough Local Plan and Policies R/DP1, R/DP7, R/BH1, R/H7, R/T11 and R/OS7 of the Gosport Borough Local Plan Review.
