The Development Manager reported on an application for Listed Building Consent for the formation of an additional parking space on area of garden at the south corner of the property at 3A The Uplands, St. Leonards on Sea. Works also include the removal of a concrete block wall, piers, trellis and gates.
The property, which is a Grade II Listed Building, is a semi detached villa constructed of coursed sandstone with rendered quoining and a rusticated plinth. It is divided into two flats and a maisonette. This row of six semi detached villas are located on a private road, which is off Maze Hill, and within the Burtons' St Leonards Conservation Area. Maze Hill runs along the boundary of the historic St Leonards Gardens.
The proposal is to provide additional parking between the south east steps, the front elevation and the existing paved driveway. The works will involve the removal of a section of concrete block wall, associated rendered piers and gates. The area is of an irregular shape and is approximately 6.4 metres by 3.6 metres. The surface is to have a block paviour finish to match the finish of the adjacent driveway and it will be constructed around an existing light well. A section of cast iron railings and a gate are to be installed and will run from the south corner of the front elevation and the edge of the remaining wall.
Having taken into account all the relevant matters including the impact on the character and appearance of the Grade II Listed Building, and on the setting of the adjacent or nearby Listed Buildings, the Development Manager believed there would be no harm to the character and appearance of the Grade II Listed Building and therefore recommended that Listed Building Consent be granted subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations had been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
Prior to the start of the meeting, one additional objection letter from Mr Groves had been received after the circulation of the agenda and before the deadline for submission of documents for the meeting.
