Applications for the Committee’s consideration:-
The following applications were submitted for the Committee’s
consideration:
No 90488 (Full) – South View Hotel,
Gosport Lane
Erect 5 flats, 2 cottages, extension/conversion of coach house
to dwelling and parking
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be refused for the following
reasons. This would be the loss of a successful and much needed
bed and breakfast establishment. There would be a conflict with
the proposed access and the exit from Rufus Court (opposite).
Since the previous application the policy regarding affordable
housing has changed and provision has not been made to provide
this or alternatively to provide amenity space. Part of the application
concerns the conversion of the coach house and when permission
was originally granted for a first floor extension a condition
was made that it should only be used as a games room/store and
must not be converted to living accommodation.
The Parish Council
questions whether there is sufficient space on site for cars
to manoeuvre and turn. The proposed two houses at the rear impinge
on Normanton and 2 and 4 Shaggs Meadow. The bin store is unsightly
and if permission is granted it should be fully landscaped.
No 90489 (CAC) – South View Hotel,
Gosport Lane
Demolition of existing building (Application for Conservation
Area Consent to Demolish)
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be refused. The application
would involve the loss of a valuable building that makes a contribution
to the Conservation Area and the proposals would not enhance
the Conservation Area.
No 90512 – Wychwood, Emery Down
Two storey rear addition, conservatory and detached garage (demolish
existing conservatory and garage)
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted. The application
is similar to a previous proposal (already granted) and would
not have an adverse impact on the character of the area of detract
from the amenities of neighbours.
No 90514 – 22 Pemberton Road
Rear extension to kitchen, side extension to dining and alteration
to face brickwork on part existing front elevation with a replacement
porch and slightly longer windows. Removal of existing garage.
1.8m high fence on drive.
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted with the condition
that as the application involved the removal of the garage provision
should be made to park on site due to the parking congestion
that already existed in Pemberton Road.
No 90547 – Hillside Cottage, Pikes
Hill
Addition of conservatory
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted but to accept
the decision reached by the New Forest National Park Authority’s
officers under delegated powers provided the proposed conservatory
fits with conservatory design policy.
No 90570 – Park View, Pikes Hill
Avenue
Construction of new house adjacent to Park View
RESOLVED: To accept the decision reached by the New Forest
National Park Authority’s officers under delegated powers.
No 90574 – Forest Point Hotel,
Romsey Road
Two storey addition to form five guest bedrooms, owner’s
accommodation and kitchen extension and second floor extension
to extend existing bedroom following demolition of existing
two storey extension.
RESOLVED: To accept the decision reached by the New Forest
National Park Authority’s officers under delegated powers.
No 90577 – Knightwood Lodge Hotel,
Southampton Road
New dwelling
RESOLVED: To recommend refusal but to accept the decision
reached by the New Forest National Park Authority’s officers
under delegated powers. The Parish Council accept that the
application tries to overcome reasons for the previous refusal
but are concerned regarding the impact of parking on site as
the hotel contains a leisure centre that is open to the public.
No 90586 – 30 Princes Crescent
Two storey rear addition, pitch roofs to two flat roofs and forming
WC to existing porch area
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted as the proposals
will enhance the character of the building by the removal of
the flat roofs.
No 90595 – Linwood Princes Crescent
Pair of semi detached dwellings (existing dwelling to be demolished)
RESOLVED: To recommend that permission be granted as the proposals
are in keeping with the street scene and the existing building
has no architectural merit. Should there be any overlooking to
the flats the Parish Council would like to propose that a condition
is imposed requiring obscure glass to the windows.
No 90604 – 56 High Street
Proposed alterations and extensions to existing premises to provide
2 residential units, 2 shop units at ground floor and additional
office/retail space at first and second floor
RESOLVED: To accept the decision reached by the New Forest
National Park Authority’s officers under delegated powers.
The Parish Council regrets the loss of residential units proposed
previously and questions whether Lyndhurst needs any extra
office space.
