W/26/0856Approved

What was proposed

The application proposed replacing all front and rear aluminium sliding sash double-glazed windows at two flats with aluminium casement windows.

“Replacement of all existing aluminium sliding sash double glazed windows to the front and rear at no. 4 and no. 12 Henry Tandey Court with aluminium casement double glazed windows.”

Officer report

The site and setting

The site contains two small terraced flats within the conservation area and the Article 4 Direction area.

“The application site relates to a pair of small terraced flats located in Leamington Spa. The properties are designed such that they appear as dwellinghouses but they consist of upstairs and downstairs maisonettes.”

“The application site lies within the Royal Leamington Spa Conservation Area and the New Milverton Article 4 Direction Area which requires that planning permission is sought for any development which would change the external appearance of the property.”

Officer report

Earlier planning history

Earlier permissions covered two-storey flats with parking and a single-storey wheelchair store.

“W/77/0643 - Erection of 2 storey two bed flats (10 for aged persons and 2 for disabled persons) total 12 flats and car parking. - Granted…”

“W/80/0686 - Erection of single storey wheelchair store. - Granted…”

Officer report

The officers’ assessment

Officers considered the design, heritage impact and neighbouring amenity acceptable, and recommended approval against the relevant policies.

“The Conservation Officer has been consulted on the application and in considering the above points it is not considered that the development would not result in a harmful impact to the Conservation Area and the impact would be considered neutral. This is because the proposed window designs are not considered to be uncharacteristic of the properties given their more modern design within the Conservation Area.”

“It is not considered that the replacement windows would have any impact on neighbouring amenity. This is because no new openings are proposed which would contribute to perceived or realised overlooking, nor would the development impact on the light or outlook of neighbouring dwellings. It is also not considered that the development would inhibit or hinder the future occupiers with respect to openable windows and suitable outlook to habitable rooms.”

Officer report

Consultation responses

The town council and conservation service had no objection, while no public responses were received.

“Royal Leamington Spa Town Council: No objection.”

Officer report

The committee’s decision

“The officer was of the opinion that the proposed development was considered to comply with Local Plan Policies BE1, BE3, HE1, and Neighbourhood Plan Policy RLS3. It was recommended that planning permission should be granted.”

“Following consideration of the report and presentation, it was proposed by Councillor Gifford and seconded by Councillor Luckhurst that the application should be granted.”
