Proposal Description: Item 9: Upwards extension to provide additional accommodation at first floor

The application was introduced. During public participation, Clive Smith spoke in objection to the application and Jonathan Ryan and Jeremy Tyrrell spoke in support of the application and answered Members’ questions thereon.

The Committee proceeded to ask questions and debate the application.

          RESOLVED:

The committee agreed to refuse permission for the following reasons:

(i)             As a result of the additional size, roof height, design and bulk of the proposed additional storey, the proposed development would appear incongruous amongst neighbouring bungalows within Lynch Close and does not respond positively to the character and context of the street scene. The proposed development contravenes Policies D1 - High Quality, Well Designed and Inclusive Places (i) and D2 - Design Principles for Winchester Town (iv) of the Local Plan 2040 and Paragraph 135 (c) of the National Planning Policy Framework (2025).

The precise wording delegated to the Chair of Planning Committee, in consultation with the Service Lead: Built Environment
