Description of proposed works: Sub-division of plot following demolition of garage and construction of 2 x semi-detached houses (1 x three-bedroom and 1 x four-bedroom) and associated amenity space, parking and refuse facilities; addition of garage door to front elevation of existing house and replacement of flank window with side door

APPRAISAL

Issued on 11 Jun 2020

1. Positive support		2. No objection
3. Objection	X	4. Objection unless revised as below
5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason for objection:

We object to this application on the grounds that it would be harmful to the CA. The sub-division of a garden (notwithstanding the garage) to create small plots such as those proposed is not appropriate and would result in properties (and garden sizes) which are not characteristic of the CA.
We also strongly object to the row of 5 parking spaces and the effect this would have on the streetscape. Cars would be visually obtrusive and a bank of parking spaces, such as these are not characteristic of the road or the CA.
