Description of Site/Background

Merriewood is to be found within a triangular site of 0.39 ha, located at the far end of Beacon View Road, just before it meets Red House Lane. The site is in residential use with a detached two storey dwelling set at the western end of the site. There are also a number of sheds within the gardens. The site slopes gently down away from the road and is “wild” towards its eastern end. A ditch separates the site from the road and is crossed by the existing pedestrian and vehicular accesses into the site. The roadside and south-eastern boundaries are marked by a mature hedgerow, with the south-eastern edge punctuated by a number of trees. There is a laurel hedge along the western boundary. A Scots pine and an oak tree within the garden are subject to a tree preservation order.

Beacon View Road is unadopted and is a public footpath. So far as officers are aware, there are no rights of passage over the road for vehicular traffic. It is 6m wide along most of the length of the application site, but narrowing to just over 4m at its junction with Red House Lane.

The site was up until the adoption of the Waverley Local Plan in 2002 outside the settlement of Elstead. In incorporating the site within the settlement the Planning Inspector stated that by including the site in the settlement, a ‘cleaner and straighter edge to Elstead would be created’. The inspector accepted that this would create the prospect of a small amount of infilling development being likely as a continuation of the line of dwellings on the south side of Beacon View Road. Importantly, he considered that the site would not intrude into the countryside.

The inspector concluded that the benefits of a logical and even rounding off to Elstead in this location were sufficient to outweigh the limited harm, which might arise from the extension of the linear pattern of dwellings alongside the southern side of the road in a modest and quite harmless way. “The development of the site would not, in my judgement, be perceived as an outward extension of the village into the countryside and although the site has something to offer from its openness alone, in this particular case I consider that the boundary should be modified to include it”.

The Proposal

It is proposed to demolish all existing buildings on the site and to erect 10 dwellings, fronting Beacon View Road, with their gardens running back to the rear boundary. These would comprise a pair of semi-detached 2 two-bed houses, 3 three-bed houses and 2 two-bed houses, together with a terrace of 3 two-bed houses as affordable housing. The larger units on plots 6-10 would each have either a single or a double garage and the two-bed dwellings would have 1.5 parking spaces each, provided in two small parking courtyards.

It should be noted that the original submission was for 11 dwellings on the site, but that this has been reduced to 10 dwellings, following officer concerns regarding the proximity of the dwelling on plot 11 to the boundary with the open fields to the south.

Relevant Policies

Policies RU1, DP3, PE2 and PE7 of the Surrey Structure Plan 1994

Policies LO4, LO5, LO6, SE8 and DN11 of the Surrey Structure Replacement Plan (Deposit Draft) 2002

Main Planning Issues

The main issues are :-
� whether the proposal complies with the criteria set out in Policy RD1 and if it comprises appropriate development in the Green Belt.
� Its impact on the wider landscape and on the character of the local area
� Housing mix and density
� the impact on neighbouring dwellings.
� the impact on protected trees
� issues relating to the public right of way and the adjacent ditch

Policy RD1

The site lies within the settlement boundary for Elstead, albeit on the southern edge of the village. It should therefore be considered in terms of the criteria set out in Policy RD1 of the local plan. This firstly requires that development should be well-related in scale and location to the existing development. Beacon View Road contains a wide variety of dwelling types, styles, designs and sizes. The proposed dwellings reflect the immediate locality where newer dwellings have been built on the former builders yard to the north in the late 1990s. The appearance of the buildings would be traditional with brick elevations under a tiled roof, with units 7 and 10 being tile hung.

Criterion (a) states that development should comprise the infilling of a small gap in an otherwise continuous built up frontage or the development of land or buildings that are substantially surrounded by existing buildings; In reading the inspectors comments (see above in this report) regarding the inclusion of this site within the rural settlement boundary, it is clear that he envisaged a linear form of development on this site following on from the properties on the south side of Beacon View Road. It is considered that the proposed development generally follows the strong building line along this side of the road, although the dwellings on plots 9 and 10 do infringe this line where the application site narrows at its eastern end. Thus, whilst in strict policy terms, the proposals do not comprise infilling of a small gap or the development of land substantially surrounded by existing buildings, it is officers opinion that, having regard to the Inspector’s comments, that the redevelopment of this site in this form would be acceptable.

Criterion (b) the development of land which, by reason of its openness, physical characteristics or ecological value, makes a significant contribution to the character and amenities of the village. The site is private garden land and whilst its openness contributes to the character of the village, it is not considered that the form of development proposed would lead to an erosion of visual amenities of this part of the village.

Criterion (c) the affect on the urban/rural transition. The site is located on the fringes of the village, with open land to the south. However, development has been kept close to the road frontage and does not spread back into the site. At the western end of the site the rear of the terrace of 3 dwellings is set least 25m from the rear boundary and, although at the eastern end this gap reduces to 5 metres, the screen along the southern boundary is substantial. The proposed development would be shielded from public view by the hedgerow and only the upper parts of the buildings would be visible through the tree screen.

Criterion (d) the form, setting, local building style and heritage of the settlement. The proposed development, as described elsewhere in this report, by and large reflects local building styles and extends the existing pattern of development along the southern side of Beacon View Road. The dwellings are generally set closer together than they are elsewhere in the road, with an average gap of 2m between dwellings. However, the separation distances would appear greater through the use of single storey elements to the side elevations and with some ridge lines being at right angles to the road. The dwellings themselves are generally set well back from the road, from 22m at the western end to 5metres in the east and it is not considered that the form of development would appear out of character.

Criterion(e) generation of a level of traffic which is compatible with the environment of the village and which can be satisfactorily accommodated on the surrounding network. Beacon View Road has a metalled surface up to and including the application site, although it is unmade for the rest of its length to the west, up to where it joins Thursley Road. Red House Lane leads into Beacon View Road from the east and it is metalled for the whole of its length. Officers consider that the volume of traffic generated by an additional 9 dwellings at this end of Beacon View Road would not be so great as to have an adverse impact on the locality nor on the wider road infrastructure. It should be noted that the local highway authority raised no objection to the proposal in road safety terms.

Officers therefore consider that, on balance the proposed development complies with the criteria set out in Policy RD1 and that it is therefore not inappropriate development within the Green Belt. It is further considered that, having regard to the strong vegetative screen along the southern-most boundary, the development would not detract from the landscape.

Impact on the landscape

The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Area of Great Landscape Value wash over the village settlement, reflecting the fact that the village is an intrinsic part of the landscape. The application site lies on the sensitive edge of the village and is very well screened along its southern-most boundary. Whilst the upper parts of the proposed buildings would be visible from views to the south, it is considered that this would not be harmful to the overall character of the area. Concerns have been raised by officers regarding the relationship of the dwelling at the eastern end of the site to the boundary, but amended plans have been submitted, showing a wider gap of 5m from the corner of the house to the rear boundary. It is considered that, with additional planting in this area, that the impact on the landscape would not be such as to justify refusing planning permission.

Housing mix and density

The next step is for the application to be considered in terms of Policies H4 and H5. One of the aims of Policy H4 is for development to be at as high a density as is appropriate to the character and environment of the site and its surrounding area. The application site has an area of 0.39ha, which, with 10 dwellings proposed, gives a density of 25.6 dph. Whilst this is below the recommended guideline of 30 dph, officers consider that a higher density would be harmful in this location, as an increase in density would likely be achieved by encroaching upon the open garden areas at the rear of the site, which would directly conflict with Policy RD1. In terms of the mix of dwellings, the proposal is fully compliant with the requirements set out in Policy H4.

Elstead is a rural settlement with a population under 3000 and the proposed development would therefore attract a requirement for affordable housing to be provided. As the density of development is under 40dph, at least 30% of the number of net new dwellings provided are in the form of subsidised affordable housing. It is proposed to provide 3 two-bed houses, although it is unclear from the application if these are to be available for rent or for shared ownership. Also, it is not known which RSL it is proposed to use. In numerical terms this complies with Policy H4, although the nature of the affordable element needs clarification. An oral update will be made on this point.

Impact on the locality and on neighbouring dwellings

It is also important that new development is of a high quality design which integrates well with the site and complements its surroundings. Development should be appropriate to the site in terms of its scale, height, form and appearance. The proposed dwellings reflect the general character of this part of the village with dwellings that have a traditional appearance and which respect the pattern of development which has a strong linear form.

In terms of the impact on neighbouring dwellings, Coneygarth would be most affected by the new development. It is located some 2m from the western boundary of the application site and has a bathroom window at first floor level and secondary windows serving the kitchen and living room on the ground floor on the flank elevation. These would be some 3 metres from the flank elevation of unit 1 and would suffer some loss of light. However, as they are not the sole source of light to principal rooms, it is not considered that this would be materially harmful to amenity. There would be some overlooking into the rear garden, but this would be oblique and the relationship between the two houses would not be unacceptable. The provision of parking to the front of the terrace of 3 dwellings could have some adverse impact on Coneygarth. The parking bays are set against the boundary and this could lead to a loss of amenity through noise and disturbance. However it is screened by a substantial mature laurel hedge, some 2.5m in height, and backs on to the front garden where there is Coneygarth’s own parking and turning area.

Trees

There are two protected trees within the body of the site – a Scots pine and an oak which would be within the gardens of units 6 and 7. However, the dwellings would be set some 11m or 13m from the trunk of the two trees and it is considered that, with appropriate conditions, there would be no harm afforded to the trees during construction and there is sufficient distance from the dwellings such that there would not be pressures to remove the trees in future.

Public footpath and the adjacent ditch

Beacon View Road is not an adopted highway but is a public footpath over which there are no formal vehicular rights of access. However, it does provide the only means of access to dwellings in Beacon View Road. Surrey County Council Rights Of Way Group raised an objection originally to the proposed development, on the grounds that the proposed development would lead to an increase in traffic to an extent whereby the safety of users of the footpath would be compromised, because of the narrowness of the roadway. Further investigations by the applicant have shown that the carriageway at the end of Beacon View Road as it approaches Red House Lane has been reduced in width. This has come about through lack of maintenance and the roadside verges have encroached over the metalled surface. By removing the debris and soil, an additional 500-600mm of road has been exposed, providing an overall width of between 3.6m at the eastern end and 4.1m at the west. This is considered to provide sufficient width for walkers and vehicles to pass in safety, and the entrances into the proposed houses would also provide refuges for walkers.

The developer is also prepared to contribute a sum of money to be held by Surrey County Council as a fund towards future repairs to Beacon View Road. This would be incorporated into the S106 agreement.

The Rights of Way Officer has withdrawn his objection.

With regard to the ditch that runs along Beacon View Road, it is the developer’s intention to culvert this where the new access points into the site cross over. The Environment Agency originally raised an objection to this as it is wished to see the open ditch retained as far as possible, in order to protect the watercourse as a wildlife corridor. The developer has now provided details of countersunk channels with open grill tops as means of access and the Environment Agency consider these to be an acceptable option for gaining access across the ditch.

Concerns were also raised by the Environment Agency over the provision of a fence along the ditch on the southern boundary of the site. This fence has now been removed and replaced with a native hedgerow, 1 metre from the top of the bank, and a 5m buffer zone free of any hardstanding or development would be retained along the length of the ditch.

Because the proposals involve the demolition of buildings which could support bats, including old sheds and outbuildings, the Environment Agency were obliged to raise an objection in the absence of a wildlife survey. This has now been carried out and the Agency is satisfied with the results. There is some evidence of historic use of the property by bats, and it is recommended that features are incorporated into the design of the buildings which would provide roosting opportunities.

the Environment Agency has withdrawn its objection and now recommends conditions.

Conclusions

Officers have had regard to the level of local representation and the comments of the parish council. However, it is considered that, through its inclusion within the settlement boundary, this is a site where there is potential for development. It is a sensitive site on the edge of the village, and any development would have an impact on the transition between the developed part of the village and the countryside beyond. However, much needed affordable housing would be provided as part of the development. Officers consider that the development proposals would not cause material harm to the character of the area, would bring benefits to the village and are therefore, on balance, acceptable.

Summary of Reasons For Granting Permission

The development hereby granted has been assessed against the following Development Plan policies: Policies RU1, DP3, PE2 and PE7 of the Surrey Structure Plan 1994, Policies LO4, LO5, LO6, SE8 and DN11 of the Surrey Structure Replacement Plan (Deposit Draft) 2002 and Policies C1, C3, RD1, D1, D4, D7, D14, H4 and H5 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002 and material considerations, including third party representations. It has been concluded that the development would not result in any harm that would justify refusal in this public interest.

	Environmental Health	Recommend conditions related to possible contaminated land and unsuspected contaminated land
	Town Council:	No objection
	Representations:	A total of 8 letters received; 1 raising objection to following; 1. Strongly object to proposal to convert existing farm buildings to residential use. 2. Development would lead to increase in traffic along a single-track road leading to increased hazard to both vehicles and pedestrians. 3. Proposal would lead to loss of privacy and would ruin peaceful aspect and the unique beauty of the area. 4. The proposal would be contrary to Surrey Structure Plan which states that development must be compatible with the character of the countryside, thus not leading to further urbanisation. 3 letters providing comments on following; 1. The entrance wall of 1.6m would result in additional noise to surrounding neighbours. It would also result in the living room and private garden area of unit 2 being in full view 2. Would like to see drawings of the proposed changes to Ashtead Lane itself. 3. The car parking as indicated is inadequate to serve the proposed development, leading to the parking of cars along the narrow lane. 4. The dormer window proposed in the south elevation to unit 1 is out of keeping, while a simple velux window would be more appropriate. 5. The proposal for the mixed roofing materials that reflect the current roof treatments would not result in a cohesive design solution and would suggest all buildings have hand made clay tiles. 6. The proposed stonewall along the boundary with Ashtead Farmhouse and unit 3 would increase the privacy to both dwellings if extended along the remaining 3m to the end of the garden. 7. Would request, prior to any approval given, a method of construction for the Listed Wall including the damp proof course. 8. Would suggest a mirror and/or warning signs be strategically placed to alleviate the difficult sight lines when exiting onto Ashtead Lane. 4 letters raising no objection to the proposal and making comment on following; 1. Over the last 4 years no use has been found for the agricultural buildings of Ladywell Farm. They have remained empty for the past four years. The proposal is ideally suited for conversion to residential use and therefore restoring the dilapidated buildings. 2. Would like to thank Waverley Borough Council and Crownhall Estates for taking time and trouble to consider all the points raised with regard to the previous application (WA/2003/2616). 3. Proposal is most acceptable compared to the previous application for a similar development provided that no substantive variations are submitted between now and the completion of the proposed development. 4. Raise issue with the demolition of the cow shed (which is supported) in respect of possible contamination and would request that demolition be carried out in accordance with Health and Safety guidelines. 5. Would suggest that planning permission and Listed Building Consent be withheld until a method statement is submitted and approved by Waverley Borough Council. 6. Suggest that the proposed extension to building F onto footprint of E be independent of the stone boundary wall and that the damp proofing of the Listed Wall should tend towards dismantling and rebuilding rather than repair. 7. The submitted landscaping scheme is supported and there is no objection to the removal of the conifer tree due to adverse impact on building D. 8. Would prefer to see natural slate roof on garage building rather than ‘slate effect roofing’. Where clay tile is indicated it would be preferable to use new hand-made plain clay tile.

Conversion of existing farm buildings to form four residential units

Withdrawn
26/03/2003

Description of Site/Background

Ladywell Farm is located along a single track off Ashtead Lane, Godalming. The site comprises of a collection of disused former agricultural buildings. Most of these are single storey, with one main unit located along the lane to the north west of the site being two storeys. Located to the west of the site is the recently Listed Building of Ashtead Farmhouse, while another Listed Building known as Ladywell Tythe Barn is located to the north of the site. The site is currently vacant.

The site has been subject to a similar planning application for conversion into four residential units (ref WA/2003/2616). This application was withdrawn following concerns raised by officers relating to encroachment of built form within the Green Belt, the amount of new buildings proposed, the proposed residential garden amenity space allocated to the four residential units and the scale of the proposed garaging and location of bin store.

The Proposal

The conversion of existing redundant farm buildings to form four independent residential dwellings; the demolition of five former agricultural buildings; the erection of a boundary wall along Ashtead Lane; repairs, alterations, extension and provision of a damp proof course to Listed Wall located to the west of the site and the erection of a new outbuilding for the garaging of four vehicles along with attached bin storage and additional storage.

Submissions in Support

� Following discussions with officers the previous application was withdrawn. The current application takes account of the concerns raised by officers along with comments made by neighbours in letters of representations.
� There will be no skylight in north facing roof pitch to building D (units 1 and 2), while the existing window will be fixed shut and fixed with Flemish glazing and the height of the ground floor window has been reduced.
� It is proposed to incorporate new planting and screening to the Ashtead Lane frontage to reduce noise arising from future occupiers of units 1 and 2.
� The fir tree located in front of unit 1 is to be removed in order to ensure structural integrity of the unit and of the adjacent Listed Wall.
� The entrance wall has been reduced to 1.6m from 2m as it was considered to be too high.
� The proposed bin store is now located to the rear of the covered parking area, some 20m from Ashtead Lane and has been enclosed.
� The proposed garaging has been reduced from the previously proposed 6 bay garage to 4 bay and now includes a lockable storage area at the rear to ensure that external storage is kept to a minimum.
� It is proposed to alter the camber of Ashtead Lane and pipe excess water to a suitably located soakaway within the application curtilage in order to address neighbour comments previously raised with respect to surface flooding along the lane.
� The proposed restoration and repair of the Listed Bargate stone Wall separating the proposed development site and the Listed Ashtead Farmhouse is required as the wall is in a poor state of repair. The works proposed would preserve and enhance the setting of the Listed Farmhouse.
� Access to the site is directly off Ashtead Lane at a mid point along the site frontage. It is proposed to move the existing site access some 6m to the east in order to provide unit 2 with an increased private garden area and improve sight lines westwards towards Ashtead Lane.
� The buildings have not been in use for some 6 years. It is proposed to demolish buildings A, B, C, H and I. Building I is an ‘Ascost’ barn, its removal will allow greater circulation within the site along with considerable visual enhancement to the surrounding countryside. The remaining buildings to be demolished are in a poor state of repair and are not worthy of retention and include two open sided ‘Dutch’ barns and two storage sheds.
� The proposal includes a new open sided barn to provide garaging for four vehicles along with storage; this building has been reduced in size when compared to the previous application. The remaining land is to be reverted to grass land.
� Existing buildings provide 1,592sqm of floor space. The conversion of buildings to residential would provide some 670sqm. This would lead to a net reduction of some 922sqm, or 58%.
� The proposal is considered to accord with PPG2 and PPG7 along with Surrey Structure Plan Policies and Local Plan Policies.

Relevant Policies

Policies PE2 and RU3 of the Surrey Structure Plan 1994
Policies LO4 and SE4 of the Surrey Structure Replacement Plan (Deposit Draft) 2002 and Incorporating Proposed Modifications June 2004
Policies C1, RD7, D1 and D4 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002

Main Planning Issues

The main planning issues are considered to be the following: -
1. Compliance with Re-use and Adaptation of Buildings in Rural Areas, Policy RD7
2. Compliance with Green Belt, Policy C1
3. Impact upon visual and residential amenity
4. Other issues

1. Compliance with Re-use and Adaptation of Buildings in Rural Areas, Policy RD7

The proposal for the conversion of some of the former agricultural buildings located at Ladywell Farm is considered to comply with Policy RD7. Buildings D, E and F are to be converted and it is considered that these buildings are capable of reuse without substantial reconstruction or enlargement while the proposed residential use would not detract from the appearance or character of the existing buildings. The location and vehicular access are not considered to be suitable for a commercial use.

The buildings to be retained would be in keeping with their surroundings and would not detract from the character or appearance of the area by reason of its form, bulk or general design. Great care has been taken to ensure that the original structures are preserved with little alteration to the fabric of the original buildings.

The proposed residential development will have an impact upon the amenities of the area, however it is not considered that visual or neighbouring amenity would be adversely affected. It may be argued that the demolition of 5 redundant agricultural barn/storage sheds, which are in a poor state of repair, would result in a material benefit to the openness of the Green Belt. The current proposal would not include windows to first floor north elevation of Building D; therefore, along with the increase in height of the Listed Wall, there would not be material overlooking or loss of privacy to neighbouring dwellings.

The proposal is not considered to lead to significant levels of traffic generated that would prejudice highway safety or would cause harm to the environmental character of the country roads. The farm buildings currently have vehicular access along the north-eastern boundary, close to the former dairy building D (units 1 and 2). It is proposed to move this entrance some 6m along the eastern approach.

2. Compliance with Green Belt, Policy C1

The proposal does not strictly comply with Policies C1 or RD7 in that the development would involve the erection of a new building of 81.6 sq m within the Green Belt for the purpose of garaging/secure storage and bin area to serve the residential units. New buildings, including outbuildings, are by definition inappropriate development within the Green Belt unless special circumstances can be demonstrated to allow the policy of restraint to be set aside. It is considered, in this case, that special circumstances exist.

The proposal includes the demolition of 5 agricultural buildings of 997.75 sq m and of limited design merit, some of which are in a poor state of repair. The proposal would provide a new detached garage building including attached storage units to both end elevations located on part of the footprint of building I. It is not unreasonable for householders to have some garaging and storage to serve their dwelling. It is considered that the demolition of the 5 agricultural buildings constitutes very special circumstances in that the existing barns and agricultural storage sheds are not worthy of reuse and restoration for the purpose of garaging.

3. Impact upon visual and residential amenity

The proposal is not considered to result in significant material harm to visual or neighbouring amenities. The proposal would utilise the existing buildings, including openings, and along with the proposed extension and alterations to the Listed Wall will ensure the privacy of existing residents and that of future occupiers. The development would result in the demolition of a significant number of barns and storage sheds. Most of this land would then be reverted to pasture land in keeping with the surrounding landscape. It is considered that, on balance, the proposal would provide a net gain to the openness of the Green Belt.

4. Other issues

The neighbour comments are noted. The proposal overall given the very special circumstances identified is considered to be acceptable. The reuse of former agricultural buildings is encouraged provided there is no material harm to the openness of the countryside or to visual or neighbouring amenity.

Comments made with respect to traffic movements, volume and visibility along Ashtead Lane are noted. However, following consultation with the Surrey County Council Highways Dept, no objection has been made with respect of highway issues related to the site. Suggestions made with respect to the possibility of placing mirrors and/or private concealed entrance signs are a private matter and would have to be erected on private land.

Comments expressed with regard to the proposed design and materials to be used within the development are also noted. However the suggested conditions are considered to adequately ensure a high quality development, in keeping with its surroundings. It is considered that great care has been taken to ensure the buildings to be converted to residential use would utilise existing opening and would result in the minimum change or alteration to the fabric of these previous agricultural buildings.

It has been stated that the car parking associated with the site is insufficient to meet the likely needs of future occupiers and it is likely that the lane itself would be utilised for parking purposes. The proposed 4 bay detached garage building is considered reasonable to meet the garaging and storage needs of future occupiers while it is noted that normally such buildings are regarded as inappropriate development within the Green Belt. However, in this case it is considered that there are very special circumstances that allow the policy of restraint to be set aside.

Conclusions

The proposal for the conversion of existing farm buildings to form 4 residential units with associated parking, alterations and extensions and ancillary works is considered to comply with Policy RD7 relating to the reuse and adaptation of buildings within the rural area. The proposal includes the erection of a new garage outbuilding. It is considered that there are very special circumstances that allow the policy of restraint to be set aside. The development is not considered to result in significant material harm to visual or residential amenity.

WA/2004/1428	Conversion of existing buildings to form 4 residential units and associated parking, alteration and extension to wall and ancillary works	Pending

Description of Site/Background

This proposal should be considered along with application WA/2004/1428 reported elsewhere on this agenda.

Ladywell Farm is located to the west of Ashtead Lane, Godalming and comprises of a number of disused agricultural buildings, barns and storage sheds. This application refers to a shared boundary wall located to the west of the site that forms part of a kitchen garden boundary treatment to the recently listed Ashtead Farmhouse. Ashtead Farmhouse with attached outbuildings and garden wall has been listed Grade II on 31/03/2004.

The proposal includes extending the length of the wall to the south west along with increasing the height of the wall in order to provide additional privacy to both new occupiers of buildings D and E (Units 1 and 3) on the development proposed under WA/2004/1428 and to the existing occupiers of Ashtead Farmhouse.

The Proposal

Alterations to existing Listed Wall along western boundary with Ashtead Farmhouse, increase height of wall abutting building E and provide an extension of the wall of some 0.9m to provide additional screening to the garden area of building E (Unit 3).

Main Planning Issues

The main planning issues are considered to be the impact upon the Listed Wall and Ashtead Farmhouse.

The proposal for extensions and alterations to the shared boundary wall between the Grade II Listed farmhouse and Ladywell Farm is linked with application WA/2004/1428 for the conversion of farm buildings to four residential units. It is considered that the works are appropriate, desirable and necessary. The proposal would provide increased privacy to both new occupants and existing occupants of Ashtead Farmhouse. Details provided ensure the alterations and extensions to the wall would be completed to a high design standard utilising the indicative Bargate stone and brick with capping to match the existing wall along the new section of wall and the extended height of the wall to building E (Unit 3).

It is accepted that the new residential units within buildings D and E will require some form of damp proofing. This has been dealt with by condition.

Conclusions

The proposal is not considered to have a detrimental effect upon the setting of the Listed Building and is considered to be appropriate to its character in terms of siting, style, scale, height and materials.

	Development Plan:	MGB, AONB, AGLV – outside settlement area
	Highway Authority:	No requirements
	Drainage Authority:	No requirements
	Parish Council:	No comments received

Description of Site/Background

Pinecroft is a semi-detached dwelling house situated on the east side of Thursley Road. The property is served by a number of outbuildings in the rear garden of the property.

The Proposal

The application seeks to demolish an existing workshop, garage and shed and to erect a replacement workshop in the same position, a new storage building and to reposition the existing greenhouse.

Relevant Policies

Surrey Structure Plan 1994 – Policies PE2 and PE7
Surrey Structure Replacement Plan (Deposit Draft) 2002 – Policies LO4, SE8 and SE4
Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002 – Policies C1, C3, D1 and D4

Main Planning Issues

This application is brought before the Sub-Committee because the applicant is an employee of Waverley Borough Council.

The site is located within the Metropolitan Green Belt, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and an Area of Great Landscape Value, outside of any defined settlement area wherein rural planning policies place strict restraint upon development.

The following are material considerations:-

The site is in the Green Belt wherein there is a presumption against development and new outbuildings are inappropriate by definition.

The proposal can only be accepted if there are very special circumstances to support it. In this case, the officers consider that there are special circumstances as the proposed outbuildings replace existing outbuildings to be demolished.

In its original form, the application included the replacement of the garage at the end of the garden. This would have resulted in a net increase of accommodation and built form upon the site, contrary to Green Belt policies.

Following negotiation with officers, the garage element has been omitted and the applicants confirm they have no foreseeable requirement for a garage and will rely on unenclosed parking.

The replacement workshop would have a floor area of 21.8 sq.m. and a height of 3.8 m. to replace the existing workshop of 21.5 sq.m. and 2.5 m. in height. The existing greenhouse of 9 sq.m. in area and 2.5 m. in height is merely to be repositioned. An existing shed of 5 sq.m. and height of 2.4 m. is to be demolished, as well as the demolition of the existing garage, which has a floor area of 22.5 sq.m. and a height of 2.5 m. A new storage building of 25.7 sq.m. is to be erected, which has a height of 3.8 m.

In summary, the total floorspace area of buildings to be demolished amounts to 58 sq.m. In comparison, the proposed buildings would result in a total floorspace of 56.5 sq.m. However, these new buildings would be of a greater height than those to be demolished. It is considered that the reduction of floor area of the proposed buildings compensates for the additional height in respect of the overall bulk and massing.

The resultant form would still be one of a number of buildings across the site in this countryside location. However, it is not considered that the likely effect of the proposal would be materially more harmful to the openness of the Green Belt than the existing situation.

Summary of Reasons for Granting Planning Permission

The development granted has been assessed against the Development Plan policies; Policies PE2 and PE7 of the Surrey Structure Plan 1994, Policies LO4, SE4 and SE8 of the Surrey Structure Replacement Plan (Deposit Draft) 2002 and Policies C1, C3, D1 and D4 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002 and material considerations, including third party representations. It has been concluded that the development would not result in any harm that would justify refusal in this public interest.

Recommendation

That permission be GRANTED subject to the following conditions:-

1. Condition

Reason

In the interest of the amenities of the area, in accordance with Policies D1 and D4 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002.

2. Condition
The buildings hereby approved (including the roof space) shall be retained and available at all times for domestic storage and shall not be used for habitable accommodation or commercial purposes whatsoever unless first agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason

Having regard to the restrictive policies which apply in this area and to accord with Policies PE2 and PE7 of the Surrey Structure Plan 1994, Policies LO4 and SE8 of the Surrey Structure Replacement Plan (Deposit Draft) 2002 and Policies C1 and C3 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002.

3. Condition

The buildings hereby permitted shall not be occupied at any time other than for the purposes ancillary to the existing use of the dwelling known as Pinecroft as a single family dwelling.

Reason

4. Condition

Prior to the occupation of the garage hereby permitted, the existing two garages shall be demolished and all demolition materials removed from the site.

Description of Site/Background

The site is located within the Deanery Road Cemetery and to the north west of Deanery Road. The site comprises of a pair of mid 19th Century chapels with a three bay central link range and is Grade II Listed. To the north of the chapel is a previous mortuary building of single storey. The buildings are located on the upper slopes of the Deanery Road Cemetery, with the steep bank rising to the rear towards Shadyhanger.

Planning permission and Listed Building Consent were granted for the change of use of the main chapel and later for the change of use of the mortuary building for the use of workshops to train disaffected secondary school children manual skills.

Planning permission is now sought for the erection of a modest storage shed to facilitate the existing permitted use.

The Proposal

Erection of a timber storage shed measuring 3.6m by 2.4m and with a ridge height of 3.1m to the rear of Cemetery Chapel. The shed would be constructed of softwood boarding with a mineral felt tile roof and would be sited to the rear of the main building and within 900mm of the site of the rear building.

Submissions in Support

The applicant’s make the following points in support of the application: -

� Skillway obtained planning consent in November 2000 to convert and use the Listed Grade II Chapel Building as Educational Skills Workshops. In April 2002 planning consent was granted to upgrade the dilapidated mortuary building and use it for teaching Creative Art and Crafts.
� Skillway is a Godalming based charity that takes disaffected and non-academic pupils from six Waverley based secondary schools and teach them a variety of manual skills and crafts. Accreditation under the Open College Network is available for many of these pupils.
� Skillway has been very successful and the wide range of skills training now available has meant we have developed a considerable storage problem, both for materials and for work in progress.
� Skillway Management Committee has concluded that the only sensible and affordable answer to this problem is the external storage shed as proposed.
� A permanent structure would be outside our ability to fund and the current requirement may not be permanent, it is considered a five-year approval may be sufficient.
� We have had communication with Waverley Historic Buildings Officer and have made modifications to our original proposal that we hope go some way to meeting his suggestions. We understand that he would prefer a clay tiled roof to match existing buildings but a standard shed would not support that weight and would be very expensive for a possible short-term requirement.
� Following consultation with the Godalming Burial Committee, the site proposed is the only site where there are no burial records. The Committee has agreed in principle the siting of a temporary storage shed in this location.
� The site is very secluded and backs onto a very steep northwest boundary embankment.
� This siting is very secluded and would not be visible from almost anywhere on the site or from adjacent streets or properties. The setting from Deanery Road would not be affected.
� The shed would measure 2.4m by 3.6m and have softwood cladding stained light yellow brown in order to match as closely as possible the Bargate stone cladding on adjacent buildings. The roof pitch would be at 45*, matching that of adjacent buildings.
� The roof cladding to be red mineralised felt tiles, a colour as close to that of the Chapel Buildings. There will be a timber floor set on a paving slab base.

These are considered to be the following: -

1. Impact upon setting of Listed Building
2. Impact upon visual and residential amenity
3. Impact upon Godalming Hillside, Policy BE3

1. Impact upon setting of Listed Building

Officers raise concerns in respect of the acceptability of the proposed building as a permanent neighbour to the Listed Building in view of its poor design quality and utilitarian appearance. It is considered that a purpose built weatherboard shed with clay tile roof would be more appropriate in this location, however the stated social needs and financial limitations are noted in this case.

2. Impact upon visual and residential amenity

The proposed siting of the timber storage shed is not considered to result in material harm to visual amenities. The building would not be viewed from Deanery Road, while there would be oblique views when looking northwest from the access road within the site.

It is not considered that the proposal would result in significant material harm to neighbouring amenity, as the storage shed is very modest in size and scale and would be discretely sited behind existing buildings and therefore there would be no loss of light, loss of privacy or overbearing form to neighbouring dwellings. There are some 95m from both neighbours located to the northeast and southwest. A steep bank with vegetation substantially screens the neighbours located to the northwest.

3. Impact upon Godalming Hillside, Policy BE5

The proposal is not considered to conflict with the protection of the well-wooded appearance of the Godalming Hillside. There would be no adverse impact upon the character and setting of the Hillside.

Conclusions

The storage building would be discretely located and would not be viewed from the street scene. It would not result in significant material harm to neighbouring occupiers. There are concerns in respect to the chosen materials and design for the building and therefore the impact upon the setting of the Listed Building. It is considered, on balance, however that the proposed timber storage shed could be acceptable as a temporary building to fulfil the needs of this local based charity.

SUMMARY OF REASONS FOR GRANTING PERMISSION

The development hereby granted has been assessed against the following Development Plan policies: Policies PE10 and PE12 of the Surrey Structure Plan 1994, Policies SE4 and SE5 of the Surrey Structure Replacement Plan (Deposit Draft) 2002 and Incorporating Proposed Modifications June 2004 and Policies D1, D4, HE3 and BE5 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002 and material considerations, including third party representations. It has been concluded that the development would not result in any harm that would justify refusal in the public interest.

Recommendation

That planning permission be GRANTED subject to the following conditions:

1. Condition

Reason

In the interest of the amenities of the area, in accordance with Policies D1 and D4 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002.

2. Condition

The development hereby permitted is granted for a temporary period of 5 years only expiring on 30/9/09, or before this date, the building shall be removed and the land restored to its former condition in accordance with a scheme which shall have been previously submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority.

Reason

In the interests of the visual amenities of the area in accordance with Policies PE10 and PE12 of the Surrey Structure Plan 1994, Policies SE4 and SE5 of the Surrey Structure Replacement Plan, (Deposit Draft) 2002 and Incorporating Proposed Modifications June 2004 and Policies D1, D4 and HE3 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002.

B.4	WA/2004/1498	Erection of extensions and alterations including extension to existing garage building at Birchwood, Gasden Copse, Witley
	D Englefield & P Grant
	19/07/2004

	Grid Reference:	E: 493696 N: 140410

	Parish :	Witley
	Ward :	Witley and Hambledon
	Development Plan :	MGB (Surrey Hills AONB not subject to Policy C3) - within settlement area
	Highway Authority :	No requirements
	Drainage Authority:	In respect of the proposed garage extension, please note that there exists an important land drainage watercourse crossing the site approximately at this location. Its status is an Ordinary Watercourse for which the householder, as the riparian landowner, is responsible for upkeep and maintenance. Near to the location of the garage, the watercourse is recorded as culverted 225mm bore. Upstream of this is charted as an open channel. The proposed garage development shall not impose on the watercourse to a greater extent than the existing structure. Ideally, a suitable zone of protection either side of the watercourse is required for maintenance purposes and therefore shall be left clear of any buildings. For clarification of matters relating to land drainage, the Applicant should contact a representative of the Engineering Manager.
	Parish Council:	No objection, subject to 40% rule.

Introduction

This application has been brought before the Sub-Committee as one of the applicants is a member of staff.

Description of Site/Location

‘Birchwood’ is a detached chalet-style bungalow situated in an elevated position on the eastern side of the road.

The existing dwelling has been extended and altered at the rear, which includes a single-storey addition on the rear and conservatory on the side. In addition to the dwelling, there is a single garage/car port situated on lower ground on the frontage.

The road is characterised by predominantly detached properties of varied size, age and style.

The Proposal

The application comprises two elements.

Firstly, the extension and alteration of the existing dwelling. This mainly comprises the erection of a two-storey extension on the rear elevation, following demolition of the existing single-storey elements. The extension would have a depth of 4.38m, a width of 10.7m and a height to eaves of 4.3m. The main ridgeline of the dwelling would be extended to the rear. In addition to this, dormers are to be added to the front and south side elevations, and a new entrance porch on the north side elevation.

The second element involves the replacement of the carport with a second garage. The new garage would measure 5.8m x 3.9m and follow the form and height of the existing garage building. The resultant double garage would have a floor area of 37.3 sq m and ridge height of 3.9 m.

The Principle

The site is located within the defined rural settlement of Witley wherein new development can be acceptable subject to scale, visual and residential amenity considerations.

Relevant Policies

Surrey Structure Plan 1994 - PE2, RU1
Surrey Structure Replacement Plan (Deposit Draft) 2002 - LO4, LO6, SE4 (LO5 - Incorporating Proposed Modifications - June 2004)
Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002 - C1, RD1, D1, D4

Main Issues

The main issues in relation to this proposal are the impact of the development on the scale and character of the dwelling, and on the general streetscene.

In view of the position and design of the development and separation to the side boundaries, there is not considered to be an adverse effect on the amenities of neighbouring residential occupiers.

The garaging element of the proposal is considered to be acceptable. Although there would be a slight increase in the footprint and bulk of building on site, the resultant building is low-lying and would be largely screened from the road by a mature hedge and other nearby vegetation. The comments of the Borough Engineer in relation to land drainage are noted.

The officers do, however, express concern over the scale, form and impact of the rear extension. The proposal would involve the erection of a two-storey extension onto a chalet-style dwelling which would not reflect the scale and modest proportions of the existing dwelling. The SPG on Residential Extensions (Dec 2002) advises that extensions should have a reduced bulk and mass, and also discourages the use of flat-roofed dormers. It is considered that the proposal would conflict with this advice.

The dwelling is elevated to the road. Although the proposed extension is located at the rear, the extension would be clearly visible from the road due to its size and massing and be seen to dominate the setting of the existing dwelling.

In conclusion, there is clearly scope for the enlargement of the dwelling. The Parish Council comments are noted, but the 40% policy rule would not apply in this location. However, the scale and form of this particular proposal are considered to be out-of-keeping with the existing dwelling and to cause material harm to the character and appearance of the locality.

Recommendation

That permission be refused for the following reason:

1. Reason

The proposal would, by virtue of its scale, form and unsatisfactory relationship, be detrimental to the scale and character of the existing dwelling and streetscene and therefore harmful to the amenities of the area and contrary to Policies D1, D4 and RD1 of the Waverley Borough Local Plan 2002.
