Minutes:

 

Proposal Description: Retrospective planning approval for a 20m natural wood fence (Height 1.80m) on the eastern boundary of our garden.

Councillor Read left the meeting during this item only and did not vote upon it.

The application was introduced. Members were referred to the update sheet which stated that the proposal description had been amended to: “Retrospective planning approval for a 20m natural wood fence (Height (1.80m)) on the eastern boundary of garden”

During public participation, Councillor John Godbold on behalf of Badger Farm Parish Council spoke against the application and answered members' questions.

Councillor Brian Laming spoke as a ward member against the application. He shared several presentation slides and expressed several points on behalf of residents, including:

  • the land was green open space, currently maintained by the city council
  • if allowed, the potential knock-on effect to other areas
  • any open space lost should be replaced elsewhere
  • the impact on visibility for traffic turning left was compounded by parked cars making the road single track in places
  • believed to be the only house in the area with a fence of this height in the front of the property
  • overall, considered detrimental and harmful to the area.

 

The committee proceeded to ask questions and debate the application.

RESOLVED:

the committee agreed to grant permission for the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report and the update sheet.

Proposal Description: First-floor side extension.

The application was introduced. During public participation, Alice May spoke in objection to the application and James Coleman (applicant) spoke in support of the application and answered members' questions.

Councillor Becker spoke as a ward member against the application and expressed several points on behalf of residents, including:

  • the property had a history of not being cared for
  • the proposal would cause an imbalance with the neighbouring property and would make the garden of the neighbouring property feel more enclosed
  • the loss of amenity, sunlight and privacy to neighbours
  • the potential for setting a precedent which would encourage other Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) in the area to apply for extensions
  • the negative impact on the community and the reduction in family homes as a result of increased numbers of HMOs
  • this area was one of the few affordable areas in Winchester, a long-standing community which was being harmed through these proposals.

 

The committee proceeded to ask questions and debate the application and received additional advice from the committee’s legal officer regarding the application.

RESOLVED:

the committee agreed to grant permission for the reasons and subject to the conditions and informatives set out in the report, subject to an additional condition regarding the installation of obscured glazed windows in accordance with the floor plans provided, the wording of the condition to be delegated to officers in consultation with the Chairperson.
