57 Argyle Avenue Weston-super-Mare BS23 3RQ

1. 1.The proposed two-storey side and rear extension, by reason of its scale, massing, depth and failure to appear subordinate, would unbalance the proportions of the host dwelling and result in an incongruous form of development that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host property, the wider terrace and the surrounding area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DM32 and DM38 of the North Somerset Sites and Policies Plan Part 1 and Section 2 of the Residential Design Guide SPD.
2. 2.The proposed development would result in the loss of all existing off-street parking, leaving no off-street parking available whatsoever for the dwelling. This is contrary to the North Somerset Parking Standards SPD, which requires provision for a dwelling of this size. The shortfall would be likely to increase reliance on on-street parking in a constrained area, resulting in harm to residential amenity and the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy CS11 of the North Somerset Core Strategy, Policy DM38 of the Sites and Policies Plan Part 1, and the North Somerset Parking Standards SPD.
