Update Report for Planning Committee(West): 26 August 2015
Committee Planning Manager:Stacey Green
15/01417/FUL – Blamore, Falcon Crescent, Bidford-on-AvonClarification to impact on neighboring amenity:
Currently the side gable of the existing bungalow lies in close proximity to the nearest neighbour (No 1) directly to the rear. The separation distance from the first floor rear facing window on the proposed apartment block to the bungalow directly to the rear (no.1) is 21m. A back to back relationship should have a separation distance of 21m, however the levels of the neighboring property are 1m lower and therefore a separation distance of 23m is required. Although there is a shortfall of 2m, it is considered that with careful soft landscaping (to be secured by condition) the overbearing effect would be mitigated.
In regards to the 3 terraced houses first floor side facing windows are proposed on the east and west elevation and would serve a hallway/landing area. I am satisfied that the window to the west elevation would not cause harmful overlooking as this faces on to the car parking area. However, I consider it reasonable to condition the window on the east elevation to be obscure glazed and non-opening and non-opening unless the parts of the window which can be opened is more than 1.7m above the floor level of the room.
Recommendation:
Additional condition to read:
15: Before the first occupation of the dwelling to the eastern part of the site hereby permitted the first floor hallway/landing window on the east elevation shall be fitted with obscured glazing (minimum of level 3 obscure glass) and non-opening unless the parts of the window which can be opened are more than 1.7m above the floor level of the room in which they are to be installed and shall be permanently retained in that condition thereafter.

13/03107/FUL / Erection of a single storey side extension and an open fronted garage / Granted 07.01.2014
Recommendation:
Deletion of reason in report and replaced with revised reason for refusal:
The proposed replacement dwelling lies outside the curtilage of the existing dwelling. There are no significant environmental benefits to justify the siting of the replacement dwelling outside of the existing curtilage. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policy COM.12(d) of the Local Plan Review.
