The Proposal The application is a resubmission of an application refused in 2011 (10/01592/FUL) and comprises the erection of two 2-storey dwellings and associated detached double garages on the northern part of the site with a vehicular access being provided from Quaker Lane to the south. The access is formed using the existing garden of the property known as Fox Hollow and at its northern end crosses the existing public right of way. In order to create the access required, an existing garage serving Fox Hollow is proposed to be demolished and a replacement rebuilt to the north of the existing house which would utilise the proposed new access road from Quaker Lane. Plot 1 sits adjacent to the existing right of way facing east and Plot 2 sits on the northern part of the site facing south. Each dwelling comprises four bedrooms, two en-suites, a bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, sun room, family area, utility and cloakroom with one of the dwellings also provides a separate study. The maximum dimensions of the dwelling on Plot One measures 14.75 metres long by 9.25 metres wide, 6.5 metre to the gable width and 6.8 metres to ridge. The revised scheme is therefore reduced by 0.25 metres in length, 1.5 metres in width, 1.1 to the gable and 0.8 metres to the ridge. The sun room which formed part of the previous application has been replaced by a dual pitched roof construction and has been reduced in size. The maximum dimensions of the dwelling on Plot Two measures 15.4 metres long by 11.3 metres wide, 6.5 metres to the gable width and 6.8 metres to ridge. The revised scheme is therefore reduced in sized by 0.5 metres in width, 0.5 metres to the gable and 0.3 metres to the ridge, whilst the length of the property remains the same. The sun room which formed part of the previous application has been replaced by dual pitched roof construction and has been reduced in size. There is a distance of approximately 14 metres between the side elevation of Plot One and the front elevation of Plot Two. In relation to Plot Two, the single storey sun-room is approximately 3m and the two-storey element is approximately 4 metres from the common boundary to the north-west at its closest point. Plot One has a lower two-storey projection to the rear which is situated approximately 10.5 metres off the common boundary to the west, which is an increase in separation of 1.5 metres compared to the previously submitted scheme. The single storey sun-room and two-storey element are both approximately 3 metres off the common boundary with the right of way at their closest points. The detached garage serving Plot One is approximately 4.5 metres from the side elevation of the nearest existing neighbouring property to the west. The proposed access road from Quaker Lane to the existing right of way measures approximately 60 metres in length and varies in width from 4 metres wide at its narrowest to 5 metres at its widest. The road is fairly straight in nature, although it bends where the access crosses the public footpath. The proposal provides a turning head within the application site to enable the occupiers of the proposed dwellings to turn and leave the site in a forward gear. The access to Quaker Lane would be formed over the position of the existing driveway at Fox Hollow. The applicant has indicated that the yew hedge fronting on 14
to Quaker Lane would be trimmed back and the existing brick wall would be reduced from 1.8 metres to 900mm. The replacement garage to serve the existing property at Fox Hollow measures 7.5 metres long by 5.5 metres wide, approximately 2.3 metres high to eaves and 5.5 metres high to ridge and comprises two open cart-sheds and tool shed at ground level with workshop, served by external steps and two roof lights, above. The proposed layout plan (Dwg No 12/052-02) identifies some new planting within the site including 9 new trees and some hedging to the boundary of the site adjacent to the footpath, although it should be noted that this is indicative at this stage. A 1.8 metre high screen fence would secure the western boundary of the site. The planning application is supported by the following documents and technical studies: - • Design and Access Statement • Arboricultural Report • Ecological Walkover Survey • Historic Assessment • Flood Risk Assessment Departure/Public Advertisement Procedure Occupiers of 16 neighbouring properties have been individually notified by letter; a site notice has been displayed and an advert has been displayed in the newspaper. • Too much development in the village already and this would result in over development. • The need for housing development to 2021 can be satisfied without resorting to back lands filling within the conservation area. • The dwellings are too large and should reflect the scale of adjacent cottages • Size of dwellings should reflect the reduction in size of the site • The small reduction in gable widths and lower ridge height has not significantly altered the overall size of the dwellings. • Proposed access road crosses the footpath and would be hazardous for both drivers and pedestrians. • The proposed access, located between two buildings (Vine Cottage and Foxhollow) of special note in the heritage terms, constitutes an alien and unacceptable feature in the Farnsfield Conservation Area and would degrade the streetscene of Quaker Lane • Flood zone stretches to the middle of Quaker Lane directly opposite the footpath entrance Concerns raised regarding drainage of the site • Proposed buildings would increase flood risk • Heritage Statement is unfit for purpose • The loss of open space, hedges and trees contribute to the character of the conservation area. • High priority should be given to the objective of preserving and enhancing the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. 15
