61 Durban Road Patchway South Gloucestershire BS34 5HG

1. 1.The intent to erect a single storey rear extension would fail to meet the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A - enlargement, improvement or other alteration of a dwellinghouse; of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. In particular, the extension would be finished in render, where the application dwellinghouse is finished in brickwork; therefore failing to comply with condition A.3(a) and is subsequently refusable under A.4(3.b).
2. 2.The property benefits from foundation works for a partially constructed rear extension, where the walls have been removed and the foundations have been retained. As such, development commenced prior to the submission of the information outlined in A.4(2) to the Local Planning Authority. Partial retrospective planning permission would be required which is not achievable under the prior notification process. The proposed development would therefore fail to comply with A.4(2) which requires the submission of this application prior to the beginning of any building works.
3. 3.The proposed extension has received multiple objections from the prior approval process, 1no. of which came from the adjoining neighbour. As such, this has triggered condition A.4(7), where the impact of the proposed development on the amenity of any adjoining premises is to be assessed. By reason of the proposed scale, form and massing, and the relationship with No.59 Durban Road; the proposed rear extension would have an unacceptable level of overbearing and dominant impacts towards the internal and external amenity space of this neighbour. Additionally, this would result in a detrimental infringement on the level of daylight, sunlight and outlook received by No.59 Durban Road. The proposed development would therefore have an unacceptable impact on the residential amenities of the attached and adjacent occupiers; and therefore fails to accord with Policy PSP8 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan: Policies Sites and Places Plan (Adopted November 2017) and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.
