Planning Applications - Runnymede Borough Council

4.3 The County Highways Authority have no requirements to make
regarding this application.
5. Planning Considerations
5.1 The application site is located in the Urban Area of New Haw where the
principle of development is considered acceptable providing that the
development does not adversely impact upon the street scene or
neighbouring properties’ residential amenities.
5.2 With regard to the impact the development would have on the street scene,
the proposal is located inline with the existing property and visible from the
street. It is considered that by virtue of its design and roof treatment, and
the fact that it is set off the boundary by 0.85 metres, it is considered that
the proposal will not have an adverse effect on the street scene.
5.3 With regard to the impact on neighbouring properties’ residential amenities,
it is considered that given the fact the proposal would be set off the
boundary by 0.85 metres, its depth, and roof treatment, there would be no
undue overlooking, or overshadowing. In relation to loss of privacy, there is
an existing boundary fence between No.6 and No.4 Grange Road which
would ensure there was not a significant loss of privacy to the detriment of
residents at the ground floor level. In relation to the loss of privacy resulting
from the proposed first floor level, the fact that the boundary elevation
window is to be fitted with obscure glazing, in conjunction with the fact that
the extension does not extend beyond a notional 45 o line of No.6 Grange
Road it is considered that there are no grounds to warrant refusal.
5.4 It is concluded that the appearance of this extension is acceptable and
would not be detrimental to the area nor would the amenity of adjoining
residential properties be significantly affected.
5.5 Consideration has been given to the requirements of Article 8 and Article 1
of the First Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is not
considered that the granting of permission would result in a violation of any
person’s rights under the Convention
