74 The Grove, Christchurch, Dorset BH23 2HD (Commons – pre-May 2019)
8/18/3129/FUL
Erect 3 storey building containing 3 maisonettes and 1 flat. Erect bin and cycle store. Form parking area to front with communal gardens to rear. Amended plans received 02/01, 28/03, 12/04 & 01/05/2019.
Recommendation: Grant in accordance with the recommendation details within the report. Minutes: (Commons – pre-May 2019)
Application number 8/18/3129/FUL
Development considered: Erect 3 storey building containing 3 maisonettes and 1 flat. Erect bin and cycle store. Form parking area to front with communal gardens to rear. Amended plans received 02/01, 28/03, 12/04 & 01/05/2019.
Representations at meeting: In objection: Peter Nickowski, local resident Luke English, local resident (read in his absence)
In support: Matt Stevens, Aspire Architects
Ward Councillor: Cllr M Phipps – in objection
RESOLVED that the application be REFUSED contrary to the recommendation in the Officer report for the following reasons:
1. By virtue of its siting, the bulk, scale, mass and design the proposed development would appear visually prominent from, and have an incongruous and overbearing relationship to the neighbouring properties (nos. 72 and 76 The Grove). The proposed building would also result in loss of privacy to the occupiers of no.76 to the further detriment of the amenities of the occupiers of that property. The proposal would therefore be contrary to paragraph 127 of the National Planning Framework which requires new development to improve the character and quality of an area and the way it functions. Furthermore the proposal fails to satisfy policies H12 and HE2 of the Christchurch and East Dorset Core Strategy adopted 2014.
2. The proposed development makes inadequate provision for parking to serve the 4 residential properties and this will result in vehicles parking on the Grove and adjacent roads. The parking and access arrangements will result in vehicles reversing from/onto The Grove. Due to the specific location of the development site which is directly opposite a road junction, in close proximity to a bus stop and on the bend of a main connecting route between Barrack Road and Fairmile Road the parking and access arrangements are likely to have an unacceptable impact on highway safety. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies H12, HE2 and KS12 of the Christchurch and East Dorset Core Strategy 2014 and Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Framework.
Informatives 1. The applicant/s has/have provided a unilateral undertaking dated 28/01/2019 to pay the appropriate contribution in relation to Heathland mitigation as required by the Dorset Heathlands Planning Framework 2015-2020 - Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) http://www.dorsetforyou.com/387392. There is therefore no reason for refusal in this respect.
2. In the event of the refusal being overturned at appeal, the applicant needs to be aware that the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) will be applied to this development. Further information about CIL can be found at: https://www.dorsetforyou.gov.uk/planning/christchurch-east-dorset-cil

Construct 2 storey office building to rear with revised parking layout.
Recommendation: Grant, subject to conditions in accordance with the details within the report. Minutes: (Commons – pre-May 2019)
Application number 8/18/3552/FUL
Development considered: Construct 2 storey office building to rear with revised parking layout.
Representations at meeting: In support: Tom Whild, KPPC Ltd, on behalf of the applicant
Ward Councillor: Cllr M Phipps – in objection
RESOLVED that the application be REFUSED contrary to the recommendation set out in the Officer report, for the following reasons:
1. By virtue of its siting, the bulk, scale, mass and design of the proposed development would result in an overdevelopment of the site, and the proposed building would appear visually prominent from, and have an incongruous and overbearing relationship to the adjacent dwelling at 2 Elm Avenue. The design and materials of the proposed building would be out of keeping with and harmful to the character of the area and the proposal therefore fails to improve its surroundings. The proposed development is therefore contrary to Policies H12 and HE2 of the Christchurch and East Dorset Core Strategy 2014 and Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Framework.
2. The proposal will result in the intensification of a business use in a residential area and the proposed development would result in inadequate parking provision for the future occupiers of the existing and proposed office buildings. The intensification of business use and inadequate parking provision would be to the detriment of the character and appearance of the residential area contrary to Policies H12, HE2 and KS12 of the Christchurch and East Dorset Core Strategy 2014 and Paragraph 127 of the National Planning Framework.
Informatives 1. In the event of the refusal being overturned at appeal, the applicant needs to be aware that the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) will be applied to this development.
