The Development Manager reported on an application for a single storey flat roofed rear extension, together with front facing dormer window at 63 St. Helens Park Road, Hastings.
The application site comprises a substantial detached period property with an existing flat roofed garage which is built on the boundary to the side (south). The properties on both sides are similar in nature, although some have smaller gardens. 61 St. Helens Park Road is set at a lower level.
Following refusal of the previous application which included a dormer window (HS/FA/14/00744), it was initially felt that the dormer forming part of this planning application was also unacceptable, but amended plans were received to site it in the centre of the house, reducing its size and changing the roof to a pitched roof with a width of about 1.7m and a total height of 2m.
It is proposed that the rear single storey extension would cover the full width of the dwellinghouse and also the space behind the existing side garage bringing the extension up to the boundary wall with 61 St Helens Park Road. The extension will have a width of 12.25m with a depth of 3.9m. The plans show a height of 3.25m, increasing in height to 4m for the two metres nearest to the boundary wall due to changes in ground levels. The extension will have a flat roof with two lantern style rooflights and will match the existing white painted rendered brickwork.
The main considerations were the impacts of the proposal on the visual impact and living conditions of the adjoining properties. The Development Manager considered the proposal would not result in any overlooking and therefore recommended planning permission be granted subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
Councillor Rogers proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Lee.
