previous ones, there is very little in the way of a reduction in the size and bulk of the building, which to our understanding was a major factor in the refusal of the first application. This is a Special Character Area and SPG 27 specifies that "New development must sit comfortably in relation to neighbouring dwellings and the depth of the proposed building must relate with adjacent buildings." This application differs by only 10% from the earlier one, which is not a significant reduction in our opinion. The documented refusal of the previous application also states "the Local Planning Authority considers that a block of flats in this location, with the siting as proposed, is likely to have an adverse impact on the amenities of the occupiers of the adjacent dwelling number 298 New Road and is not convinced that this development can be accommodated without leading to overlooking and loss of privacy to adjacent dwellings, contrary to Policy DES8 of the East Dorset Local Plan." We feel we must stress that although we are not directly adjacent, but in fact next door but one, we too will suffer from loss of privacy into our garden and directly into windows on our south facing elevation from at least five first floor and roof windows. The site lies in close proximity to SSSI, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, which was detailed in length on the earlier refusal as having a significant adverse impact on these areas, and the inevitable loss of mature ‘protected' trees will contradict the policies DES7 and BUCON6 of the East Dorset Plan and the Special Character Area of New Road. Another area of major concern to us is the impact of the additional traffic onto New Road (A347), which with a 40mph speed limit is already a very dangerous stretch of road. It is a major bus route and traffic flows continuously all day. The bus stops and the junction of Dudsbury Avenue already make it hazardous for entry and egress by car, and crossing on foot is perilous. We have no crossings or traffic calming in the area. The increase from one single dwelling to nine is going to increase the number of cars using the access to the site, therefore exacerbating existing problems. We note the provision of 13 parking spaces on the plans, which is not nearly enough for a development of this size and could lead to people trying to park on the road. This again will add to the dangers stated above enormously. In addition the location of these parking areas will undoubtedly create noise pollution to the rear of ours and neighbouring properties. This would be out of character in this area and unwelcome. 46
We appreciate the owners of these two plots wish to develop the area, and we welcome any improvements, but this Special Character area of New Road is undeniably single dwellings and should remain so. Mr Paul Timberlake 8 Brierley Avenue, West Parley Object As in the original application, the revised plans continue to show development straddling the common boundary of 300 and 302 New Road - the Application Site. As Tree Warden, my main objection relates to the loss of some of the mature trees that provide a good visual amenity along the aforementioned boundary. Although other trees are intended to remain, there would be a major break in this green infrastructure corridor, which I feel could affect seriously the integrity of this habitat. I also have concerns about the amount of hard paving for use as driveway and parking. This also raises the question of water run-off and provision of SUDS. A further concern relates to the access/egress on the busy and fast flowing A347 (New Road), with the potential for accidents occurring. Officers Report: This application comes before the Committee because the Officer recommendation for approval is contrary to the Parish Council’s concerns and the 12 letters of objection received. Outline permission is sought to replace an existing two storey dwellinghouse on the southern half of the plot with a two/three storey block of nine flats on an enlarged curtilage at 300-302 New Road in West Parley. Approval is sought for the access, landscaping, layout and scale of the building. The elevation and floor plans submitted are therefore only indicative as the appearance remains a reserved matter. The site is within the New Road Special Character Area and is within 5km of Natura2000 sites. Planning History Outline application 3/10/0822 for a three storey block of ten flats on the site was refused in October, principally because the layout, footprint, height and bulk of the proposal and the loss of trees that it would necessitate was found to be harmful to the Special Character Area. The impact on neighbouring dwellings and failure to resolve impacts on heathland and the local transport system were also determining factors. 47
