The Development Manager reported on an application for the demolition of a bungalow and garages and the erection of pair of semi-detached two storey dwellings plus car parking at 27 Linley Drive, Hastings.
The site is currently occupied by a bungalow which is set back into the site with a large front garden that includes a garage. The surrounding area is entirely residential and comprises bungalows or terraced housing.
The applicant sought consent to demolish the existing bungalow and erect a pair of semi-detached dwellings. The proposal includes off street parking and landscaping. Revised drawings show the proposed development at a slightly lower level and further away from 25 Linley Drive.
The main issues considered were the impact on the character of the area and the impact on the neighbouring residential amenities. The Development Manager felt the proposed development was compatible with the surrounding area and provided good transition between the bungalow properties to the north-east and the terraced houses to the southwest. Decent sized houses would be provided with good gardens, parking and landscaping. Although the development is close to two neighbouring properties, the Development Manager felt that given its size and position, it would not have an adverse impact on neighbouring amenities and he therefore recommended that planning permission be granted subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
Councillor Beaverproposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Rogers.
An amendment to the motion was proposed by Councillor Scott to grant the application, subject to the addition of Condition 10. The amendment was agreed by the proposer and seconder of the recommendation.
