None.

CONSULTATIONS

Site Notice:
Other representations:
Consulted 12.3.15
Notified 12.3.15
Expired 3.4.15
2 neighbours notified, and one objection received
raising the following:
• The proposal will remove afternoon and early
evening sunlight from 3 ground floor rooms
(kitchen, utility room and downstairs cloakroom)
at 9 Fontwell Close.
• The extension will project beyond front wall of
own property.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Impact on neighbours: The extension will be located on the rear the
property, and slightly unusually this elevation will be located near the front
elevation of the neighbour’s property at 9 Fontwell Close.
Despite this relationship, I do not believe that the extension will cause
unacceptable visual amenity issues for this neighbour, and nor does it cause
any visual harm to the character of the area. It must be observed that 9
Fontwell Close has a large single storey projecting element in the front of this
property, and this projection is immediately adjacent to the area intended by
the proposed 2 storey element of the application proposal. Also the
appearance of this single storey element actually reduces any strong visual
element for this front elevation in relation to the proposal, and it is noted that
their front projection extends a considerable distance beyond the rear
elevation of the neighbours’ proposed rear elevation.
The position of the 2 storey part of the proposal will however cause some loss
of sunlight to existing side facing ground windows at 9 Fontwell Close.
However it is noted that these affected windows, are either a secondary
window to the room or they are only giving light to non-habitable rooms. The
extension will not cause loss of light to other habitable rooms and complies
with 45 degree tests in relation to their nearest bedroom window. Therefore,
the amenity relationship with this neighbour is acceptable is acceptable in this
instance.

REPORT OF THE HEAD OF COMMUNITY WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT 5 May 2015
With regards to the other adjoining neighbour (10 Kelso Close) the amenity
impacts are acceptable as the proposal will replace an existing conservatory
in this location, and no representations have been received.
CONCLUSION
Although the proposal will have some amenity impacts for existing occupants
of 9 Fontwell Close, the impacts are not to be significant in this instance.
