The Planning Services Manager presented this application for part two storey part three storey rear extension and internal improvements.
A location plan, aerial view and photographs showing the rear boundary and the houses either side were shown. Drawings showing the elevations and proposed floor plans were also shown to the Committee. The property has a basement store area which makes this application part two and part three storey. The application is to match and complement the host dwelling. The ground floor window will be fixed shut and will be partially obscured. The application is supported by a structural engineer statement which concludes there are no issues around land stability.
Councillors asked regarding light and the impact this application could have on neighbouring properties. The Planning Officer and Planning Services Manager confirmed the proposed extension would not be beyond the extension on the neighbouring property and the application passed the daylight test.
Councillors debated.
Councillor Beaver proposed approval of the recommendation, seconded by Councillor Roark.

Application No
Conservation Area
Yes - Old Town
Listed Building
Grade II*
Public Consultation
Yes – 2 objections, 1 in Support. Council application on land part owned by the Council.
The Planning Services Manager confirmed that we do not need to notify the Secretary of State before issuing a decision and therefore:
Final paragraph of 5g of the report is deleted (refers to the Secretary of State notification).
Also Paragraph 7A amended to remove reference to the Secretary of State notification as follows:
“That the Planning Services Manager be authorised to issue planning permission upon completion of a Legal Agreement under S106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for the entire redevelopment site covered under HS/FA/21/00994 to secure”: as per the remainder of the report.
The Principal Planning Officer gave a description of the site detailing its Grade II* listing and that the site is within the Hastings Old Town Conservation Area. Slides were shown including a location plan and block plan. The buildings are on the National Heritage At Risk Register. The repair works are necessary as there is extensive water ingress into the commercial unit from the roof above. Pelham Crescent forms the roof to the commercial units below and because of the water ingress there is need for a reconstruction of the road.
The application proposes the removal of the existing road surface and substrate in Pelham Crescent down to the sandstone structural vaults below and reconstruction of the road. A new waterproofing layer over the stone vaults will be constructed with a new drainage, new road contours, and the application also proposes repair and renewal of stone and brick.
Councillors asked regarding the removal of the road service and if it includes the pavement. The Planning Services Manager answered by showing a slide of the proposed works and the Principal Planning Officer confirmed that Point 3 under proposed development states that the existing pavement is being replaced with a New York stone pavement.
Councillors debated.

The application proposes the parking spaces and the associated decking large enough to comfortably accommodate parking for a modern sized car. There will be space to store bicycles and there will be four electric charging points. The Decking is supported by columns.

The appearance of the parking deck is acceptable in accordance with Policy EM1 of the Hastings Planning Strategy and Policy DM1 of the Hastings Development Management Plan. Structural plans have been submitted by a suitably qualified engineer and Building Control have no objection to the application.
