46. AMENDMENTS TO PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS

i) P15/S1546/FUL 1 Coopers Close Littleworth OX33 1UA. Amendment: No.1 – dated 17th August 2015. Variation of condition 1 (drawing numbers) of planning permission P10/W1824/RM.

Members were happy with the revised layout of the garden area and the corrected position of the internal fencing. They noted recent comments on the SODC website from two neighbours. They again however Recommend Refusal for the following reasons:

Taking into consideration the neighbours’ comments, the Committee feels that the height of the fence is out of keeping with the locality and there is not sufficient space for the proposed vegetation cover to grow properly outside the fence. The Committee believes that the fence was illegally erected by the developer and the matter should be taken up with the developer rather than the owners. The developers should be asked to reduce the height of the fence to 1.4 metres along the road frontage, which due to the slope of the ground internally will still give adequate privacy and security to the occupants.

The Committee noted that in the Land Registry Title the Highways Agency Historical Railways Estate has right of access for maintenance of the bridge.

47. NEW PLANNING APPLICATIONS

33. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST
Cllr Bell is a friend of Mr Newton, 45 Church Road, but has no financial interest in the application and therefore won’t stand down as Chairman for this item. The other members of the committee will discuss the application.

35. UPDATE ON MEETING HELD ON 8th July 2015

P15/S2121/FUL Land North of London Road:
The members have looked through the comments submitted to the SODC website and noted concerns raised with noise, drainage and that the two road entrances of the site are not connected to each other. The members expect there will be an amendment to the application in the near future and until then will continue to read any further comments registered.

P15/S1546/FUL 1 Coopers Close
Members were puzzled by an email sent from the applicant that the architect has not amended plans as required, as he has already sent them to Robert Cramp, Enforcement Officer at SODC. The plans appear to cover what the Parish Council have requested.

The committee also felt that it was important to get a response from the Highways Agency Historical Railways Estate who own the bridge adjoining the property to clarify their right of access, if any, for maintenance. SODC have previously written to them but so far there has not been a response. The Committee will be asking the SODC Enforcement Officer to contact them again.

Erection of a single storey side extension and extension to garage (As amended by plan PA03_Rev A, received 2015_06_25 to clarify that the extension to the north elevation would not physically attach to neighbours). (Additional plan received 2015_07_01 to show roof plan).
Comments on the SODC website from the neighbour at 5 Holloway Road were noted, regarding the proposed flat roof balcony overlooking their property, despite contrary comment from the architect. It was also noted that the plans of the proposed flat roof balcony were unclear. No strong views.

ii) P15/S1845/HH 28 Church Road Wheatley OX33 1NB Extension of a family home. An amendment regarding the raising of the height of the roof and dormer windows was received after the agenda went out but was included because of the importance of the changes. Comments on the SODC website from the neighbour at 27A High Street were taken into consideration. Recommend Refusal
Reason for Recommending Refusal:
1. The development is situated in a significant part of the Wheatley Conservation Area and the increased height proposed and modern style is not appropriate in this location. It would also will destroy an important public view from Church Road and Church Road Recreation Ground.
2. Taking into consideration the comments from the neighbour, the development will be too dominant, overlooking other properties in the High Street to the south.
P15/S1935/HH 120 London Road Wheatley OX33 1YH Demolition of existing detached pre-fabricated concrete garage and attached single storey outbuildings and replacement with a new two-storey extension to side of original house to form additional living accommodation with improved and enlarged car parking/manoeuvring.

No strong views – if approved by SODC, the committee asks that a condition of the approval should be that the development is not let or sold and is for use by immediate family only.
