Full Application - Extension and Alterations, Re-Organisation Of Drive and Garden Area, New Double Garage and Ancillary Accommodation At Gatehouse Farm Cottage, Gatehouse Lane, Hathersage

Minutes:

It was noted that this application had been considered by committee at the December meeting and deferred to allow amendments to the design of the extensions to be discussed.

 

The Officer reported that since the report was written, a further letter of objection had been received by the Authority from the neighbour, and summarised the key issues.

 

The Planning Officer reported that the plans had been amended. It was still considered that the scale, massing and location of the proposals were not acceptable and had a significant  unneighbourly impact on residents of the neighbouring property.

 

The following then spoke under the Public Participation at Meetings Scheme

 

·         Sarah Marsh - Objector

·         Paul Batty – Partner of Applicant

 

 

The Officer recommendation to refuse the application was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the application be REFUSED for the following reasons:

 

1.         By virtue of its form it is considered that the proposed extension would result in a form of development that does not reflect the local building tradition so it would not contribute to the enhancement of the site and its setting. The resulting development, whilst offering some enhancement, would nonetheless result in a much larger building with inappropriate massing, contrary to Core Strategy policy GSP2, GSP3 and Local Plan policy LC4 and LH4, the Authority’s adopted design guide and detailed design guide, and the National Planning Policy Framework.

 

2.         By virtue of its position and proximity to the neighbouring property known as Gatehouse Farm, it is considered that the proposed extension would be overbearing and oppressive and create additional over-shadowing which cumulatively would harm the residential amenity of occupants of that property contrary to Core Strategy policy GSP3, saved Local Plan policy LC4 and LH4, the Authority’s adopted design guide and detailed design guide and the National Planning Policy Framework.
