Demolish existing house and outbuildings. Construct new dwelling and garage with amended access

Mr Ubhi, the applicant, spoke in support of the application.

The Service Manager – Development Services introduced the item and explained that in addition to the information contained in the officer report, it should also be noted that paragraph 1.66 of the 2005 Replacement Local Plan advises that ‘’ in calculating the size of the original dwelling, any garage will be included as part of the original dwelling provided it existed on 1st July 1948 or was built at the same time as the dwelling. In both cases the garage must be within 5m of the original dwelling’’.  While the officer report describes the building as an ‘outbuilding’, it could also be reasonably described as a garage and it is within 5m of the dwelling. Historic mapping also indicates that the building was in situ prior to 1948.

The Service Manager – Development Services also explained that when calculating the floor space of an existing dwelling, LPD14 specifically permits the inclusion of any existing outbuilding that falls within 5 metres of the original dwelling within the existing floor space calculation.
