Planning committee

Decided by Brighton and Hove Planning Committee on 4 Feb 2026.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the outbuilding was appropriately designed, would protect neighbouring amenity and would remain incidental to the flat.
  • Five objections raised concerns including privacy, noise, overshadowing, conservation, design, enclosure and possible independent or short-term accommodation.
  • The committee unanimously agreed the officer recommendation, granting planning permission subject to conditions and informatives.

Site constraints 4

Cliftonville conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Radon affected area, class 5
An estimated 10 to 30% of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.

Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 10 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
