About this application

This is a planning application for demolition at 14 Saxon Road Winchester Hampshire SO23 7DJ. Winchester has handled 4,735 applications of this type. This one was decided in 91 days, 5 weeks longer than Winchester's typical decision time. The site is in the Winchester conservation area, with 2 listed buildings nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 617 applications in total for the SO23 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The design, scale and form of the proposed development would result in harm to the significance of the Winchester Conservation Area, without any convincing justification, or public benefits to outweigh that harm. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policies D1, HE1, HE2, HE3, HE5 and HE10 of the Winchester District Local Plan 2020- 2040 adopted 2026, and Sections 12 and 16 of the NPPF.
  2. Due to the relationships between the dwellings, the development would result in an unacceptable impact to the privacy and reasonable enjoyment of the accommodation and amenity space to the neighbouring dwelling to the south (No. 13 Saxon Road) through overlooking from second floor windows into the neighbouring property, and overbearing impact from the single storey extension in relation to the neighbouring amenity space and ground floor rear windows. The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policy D7 of the Local Plan 2020-2040 adopted 2026, and Section 12 of the NPPF.
  3. Insufficient information has been provided to be satisfied that the proposed development would not result in unacceptable harm through loss of daylight to the ground floor, rear windows of the property to the north (no. 15 Saxon Road). The proposal therefore fails to comply with Policy D7 of the Local Plan 2020-2040 adopted 2026, and Section 12 of the NPPF.
