Planning permission for removal of an existing garage and construction of a single storey outbuilding for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the house (approx. 65 sqm), and a car port and storage shed (approx. 3.2 sq m. ) all to the front of the property, and for associated alterations to paving/landscaping and new boundary wall with 1 Blackheath Grove.
Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommended a grant of permission, concluding that the proposed domestic outbuildings and car port are compatible with the visual and residential amenities of the area, do not conflict with car parking standards in a way that generates new issues, and would not negatively impact the site's sylvan character or drainage infrastructure.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The outbuildings are of a low-slung, modern design that is sympathetic to the eclectic and self-contained character of the cul-de-sac.
- The proposed car port facilitates the storage of an existing vehicle collection and does not represent a material intensification of parking or traffic use.
- The sylvan character of the site will be maintained provided that existing hedgerows are protected during construction and a proposed new boundary wall is omitted.
