BH2019/03066 - Rear of 60 Wilbury Road, Hove BN3 3PA - Full Planning & Demolition in CA

Minutes:

1.    Joanne Doyle (Senior Planning Officer) introduced the application and gave a detailed presentation by reference to site location plans, elevational drawings and photographs. It was noted that the main considerations in the determination of this application relate to the principle of development, the design of the proposed dwelling, the standard of residential accommodation, its impact on neighbouring amenity and the impact on the highways network.

 

Speaker

 

2.    Ward Councillor Jackie O’Quinn spoke on the application and noted that the road has a ‘sunny’ appearance with no houses in gardens. It was a wish to discourage front garden parking in the area. The possible loss of amenities for neighbouring properties was a concern on such a small site. The proposals were considered an overdevelopment on this land where amenity space would be very small.

 

Questions for the Speaker

 

3.    None.

 

4.    Simon Bareham, the agent, spoke on the application and stated that Planning Permission was previously granted in 2016 and the development had been commenced. The new building submitted here would be more sustainable than the previous design and would have the same footprint. The only increase in area would be the introduction of a bay window and a pitched roof instead of the previous flat roof design. The proposal would have the same 3 bedrooms and parking arrangements as the previous development. It was stated that the proposal would have a neutral impact on the neighbouring properties, the same as the already approved scheme. The design team have worked hard to get a better dwelling and it was stated that the Heritage Team recommended approval of the proposal.
