The Old Farmhouse, Cripstead Lane, Winchester, SO23 9SE

Case number: 19/01751/HOU

 

The Service Lead Built Environment referred Members to the Update Sheet which set out an amendment to the householder report on page 38 to read ‘Garage/Ancillary structure represents an increase of 5sqm and not 3sqm when measuring externally’.

 

During public participation, Andrew Scott spoke in objection to the application and Jonathan Tuckey (agent) and Jamie Brookes (applicant) spoke in support of the application and answered Members’ questions thereon.

 

During public participation, Councillor Mather spoke on this item as Ward Member.

 

In summary, Councillor Mather stated that:

 

·         The Committee should visit the site to examine this proposal in context with its setting and dimensions in respect of the narrow streets;

·         The proposed garage was out of keeping with the area by virtue of its increased height and dominance on the street scene and would result in a loss of local distinctiveness in St Cross;

·         The proposed balcony would result in overlooking and a loss of amenity to neighbouring properties;

·         Suggested that the Committee view the setting of this application by assessing the proposal in context with the distinctive features of this setting and its impact on the conservation area.

 

At the invitation of the Chair, the Historic Environment Team Leader addressed the Committee providing clarification regarding the impact on the Conservation Area and heritage aspects. She confirmed that a test had been carried out to establish if the proposal preserved or enhanced the Conservation Area. It was reported that the garage was of no architectural or historic interest and was deemed subservient in style and mass. Although the proposed garage would result in a change to the street scene with its higher pitch, this was considered to be more in keeping with the street scene to preserve, if not enhance the conservation area with a greater degree of separation between the garage and The Old Farmhouse. This would create an improvement to the visual aspect over the existing garage building.

 

At the conclusion of debate, the Committee agreed to defer determination to the Committee’s next meeting due to take place on 18 December 2019 in order to allow for a site visit to view the proposed viewing platform and staircase in context with neighbouring properties.

 

The Committee were reminded that following the review of the Council’s Constitution, previous speakers would have the right to restate their comments when this application came back to Committee for consideration.
