Officer report

The site and surroundings

The site contained a vacant, poor-condition two-storey detached house in a residential area with detached and semi-detached homes.

“Amended plans were received by Officers following the site visit, these plans sought to show the existing and proposed land levels and the extent of the raised patio. As a result of such amendments, the description of the development was amended and third parties were re-consulted regarding such amendments. Site and Surroundings 3.3 The application site lies on the south-eastern side of Pollards Hill South and is currently occupied by a two-storey detached property.”

“The surrounding area is mixed in character terms with dwellings dating to the Victorian and Edwardian periods with some later inter and post war infill development. However, the materiality of the built environment shares common materials such as red brick, white render and clay rooftiles which provides some consistency amongst the built form.”
