Comment:

Cllrs Rippon-Swaine and Thierry disclosed non-pecuniary interests as members of Ringwood Town Council which had commented on the application.  They concluded that there were no grounds under common law to prevent them from remaining in the meeting to speak and to vote.

 

The Committee concluded that this application had failed to overcome the objections raised in respect of the previous application that had been refused.  The development would appear out of character in the street scene and the wider area; and have a detrimental effect on the amenities of the adjoining property.

 

 

Decision:

Refused

 

 


Refusal reasons:

1.    By virtue of its height, depth and massing the proposal would close gaps between dwellings and fail to respect local roof forms, resulting in an obtrusive, incongruous and harmful addition to the street scene, to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area, contrary to the Ringwood Distinctiveness Supplementary Planning Document and Policy CS2 of the Core Strategy for the New Forest District outside the National Park (2009).

 

2.    The proposal would have an unacceptable impact on the outlook, light and privacy of the adjoining residential property (no. 8 Christchurch Road), by virtue of its proximity, scale, massing, overbearing presence and resultant enclosure to the south elevation, contrary to the amenity related provisions of Policy CS2 of the Core Strategy for the New Forest District outside the National Park (2009).
