Details of proposal The application proposes the erection of a rear conservatory, projecting 3.5m beyond the rear wall of the property and extending 3.5m across the back width of the property. At the rear of the application property there is a 1.8m high wooden fence all the way round the rear garden. The garden slopes down towards the rear fence and there is approx 0.6m drop to the adjoining properties on Moorside Drive. Planning history Nil. Consultations Neighbour Consultations: 1 Letter of objection raising the following points. • The slope of the site means the conservatory will be at a higher level than their property, this combined with the extension towards the rear boundary will cause overlooking and invasion of privacy. Relevant policy Hyndburn Borough Council Local Plan Policy E10- Development policies Observations The proposed development is in line with the design guidelines for conservatories and the general practice used in the borough for the assessment of such applications. The facing materials to be used will match the existing house. The conservatory will project 3.5 metres from the rear wall of the house. Appropriate distances have been left between the proposed development and the neighbouring properties at each side, in particular in view of the 1.8m high perimeter fence surrounding the rear garden. The design is acceptable in terms of policy and does not warrant any amendments. There was originally a distance of 21.5m between the rear walls of the application property and those houses on Moorside Drive to the rear. With the erection of the proposed conservatory and the existing conservatory at 15 Moorside Drive this distance will reduce to approximately 15 metres. However, even with the addition of the two conservatories, the distance retained between the properties remains sufficient in particular as these are only single storey extensions. However, there is a sloping drop of approximately 0.6m between No 15 Moorside Drive and the applicant’s house. I do not believe that this drop will mean that the conservatory will have a significantly negative impact on the neighbour’s amenities, cause overlooking or invasion of privacy. The fence, along with the distances retained between the properties means there is little chance of overlooking or an overtly negative impact on the residents of No. 15 Moorside Drive. The objectors will be able to see the top part of the conservatory but this alone is not sufficient to refuse planning permission. I therefore recommend the application for conditional approval. 40
Recommendation Approve subject to the following conditions: Condition(s) and Reason(s) 1 The development must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission. Reason: Required to be imposed pursuant to Section 91 (as amended) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. 2 The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out otherwise than in strict accordance with the submitted details. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt and to define the permission. 3 The facing materials to be used in the construction of the extension hereby approved shall match in colour and texture those used on the existing building. Reason: To ensure the use of appropriate materials, in the interests of the visual amenities of the locality and in order to comply with Policy E10 of the Hyndburn Borough Local Plan Informative Note(s) 1 REASONS FOR APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION : The proposal does not conflict significantly with the provisions of the development plan and in particular is satisfactory in terms of Policy E10 of the Hyndburn Borough Local Plan. There are no other material considerations which weigh sufficiently against the proposal. 2 This planning permission is granted in strict accordance with the approved plans. It should be noted however that: (a) Any variation from the approved plans following commencement of the development, irrespective of the degree of variation, will constitute unauthorised development and may be liable to enforcement action. (b) You or your agent or any other person responsible for implementing this permission should inform Development Control immediately of any proposed variation from the approved plans and ask to be advised as to the best method to resolve the matter. Most proposals for variation to the approved plans will require the submission of a new planning application. 3 This consent is granted subject to conditions and it is the owner and the person responsible for the implementation of the development who will be fully responsible for their compliance throughout the development and beyond. If there is a condition that requires work to be carried out or details to be approved prior to the commencement of the development this is called a "condition precedent". The following should be noted with regards to conditions precedent: 41
