About this application
This is a planning application for demolition at 20 Church Road Shanklin Isle Of Wight PO37 6NU. Isle of Wight has handled 12,897 applications of this type. This one was decided in 56 days. The site is in a conservation area. There have been 2 other applications at this address. We hold 154 applications in total for the PO37 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed demolition of the natural stone wall boundary adjacent to Church Road, for the enlargement of the vehicular access, would be considered detrimental upon the amenity of the street scene and cause significant harm upon the character of Shanklin Conservation Area. The existing boundary wall (which has been partially demolished) contributes to the essential historic character of Church Road and Shanklin Conservation Area. Therefore, further removal of this wall would unduly harm the amenity of the surrounding area and would fail to comply with Policies SP5 (Environment), DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) and DM11 (Historic and Built Environment) of the Island Plan Core Strategy.
- The proposed vehicular access and associated driveway would have detrimental implications upon the safety of the highway network due to inadequate visibility and a lack of onsite turning facilities. This would result in a significant hazard for highway users and would fail to comply with Policies SP7 (Travel), DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) and DM17 (Sustainable Travel) of the Island Plan Core Strategy.
- The Local Planning Authority is unable to assess impact upon high amenity trees as insufficient details have been given regarding the tree's location, species, crown spread and assessment of their condition to enable the Local Planning Authority to establish the effect of the development on surrounding tree's long term retention. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DM2 (Design Quality for New Development) and DM12 (Landscape, Seascape, Biodiversity and Geodiversity) of the Island Plan Core Strategy.
From the council's decision notice.
